Maya Jama and boyfriend Ruben Dias are continuing to pack on the PDA as their new romance heats up.

The Love Island host, 30, and Portuguese footballer, 28, were first linked in November last year, and it seems their relationship has only blossomed from there.

New photos capture the TV bombshell and Manchester City player enjoying a sunny getaway aboard a luxury yacht off the idyllic coast of Capri.

Ahead of the new series of Love Island hitting screens, Maya made the most of her downtime, catching some rays beside her lover.

She looked sensational, showcasing her gym-honed physique in a tiny purple bikini.

Meanwhile, Ruben displayed his muscles, going shirtless as he lounged wearing brown swim shorts.

The glamorous pair appeared totally smitten with one another, sharing tender kisses and a series of touchy-feely moments away from the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives.

Maya and Ruben were also spotted tucking into a leisurely breakfast on the boat, laughing and chatting.

Even while out at sea, they were utterly inseparable, gazing into one another’s eyes while sunbathing and snuggling up.

Maya, who boasts 3.2million followers on Instagram, also immortalised the holiday by snapping some selfies for her fans.

She recently shared an insight into their trip via the social media platform, adding the simple caption ‘Romantica’ to a slew of shots of her in Italy.

Ruben gifted her a huge bouquet of red roses aboard his private jet and wined and dined her under the Capri sun.

Speaking of jets, as the lovebirds parted ways once their blissful break came to an end, the footie star dropped his girlfriend off in Mallorca.

‘Getting dropped off to Majorca … Love Island fans you can rest I’m going to work now & so is he [sic]’, she laughed, posting a video on her Insta Story.

The host is set to front Love Island for another series this summer as the programme celebrates 10 years on screens.

ITV has officially confirmed the 2025 series launches on Monday, June 9, with Maya having taken over from Laura Whitmore in 2023.

But it seems the public are currently far more invested in Maya’s own love life, showering her and Ruben’s romance with their blessings in the comments of her pics.

‘Happiness looks good on you 🥹🫶🏼’, commented @yinkasays.

‘I just love seeing hot people date each other’, declared @miikaela_wi.

‘So happy for these two! What a match ! ❤️’, added @milas_mirror_diary.

Plenty of Maya’s famous friends have also shown their approval, with AJ Odudu commenting: ‘CUTE!!!!! 💕’

‘I have laid awake at night thinking ‘Who will be the one to treat Maya Jama the way she deserves?’ – It’s been on my list of concerns 😍❤️🔥’, wrote comedian Katherine Ryan.

Maya and Ruben have been papped on a number of affectionate dates since going official.

Speaking to The Sun after spotting them dining by the water in West London, an onlooker said: ‘Maya and Ruben couldn’t keep their hands to themselves over some food and ice cream.

‘They flirted for hours.’

Maya, who previously dated Stormzy and was engaged to Ben Simmons, is more private with the details of her relationships these days.

She’s yet to speak about Ruben to the press, but did tell the Standard in November 2024, the same month they met, that she was looking for her one true love.

‘I am so happy right now, but the next person I meet I want to marry and have kids with, so obviously I’m feeling fussy,’ she said.

‘I’ve created such a nice life for myself alone, and I don’t want anyone who’s not going to add to that.’

She added: ‘I’m in this lovely bubble, and I don’t want you unless you make me happy. If you’re not, I kind of don’t need you.

‘One thing I’ve learned: some people are like, “I’m lonely, I need someone.” But the mission in life is to make yourself happy, then find someone who brings something that matches that to the table.’
