Ruben Dias has sparked romance rumors with Maya Jama after the Manchester City star was pictured celebrating New Year's Eve with the Love Island presenter in Ibiza.
A photo published on social media showed the Portuguese international defender dining with Jama at Sa Capella in Ibiza.
Jama shared a spicy photo on her Stories as she celebrated the New Year, she did not post any photos with Dias.
The pair had sparked rumors of a possible romance earlier in November after they started following each other on Instagram, as spotted by Game Set & Match.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Maya Jama and Ruben Dias for comment.
Dias has previously had high-profile relationships, with the star dating Portuguese pop star April Ivy and Love Island star Arabella Chi.
The 27-year-old, who joined Man City in 2020, was in a relationship with Ivy between 2018 and 2021.
Dias and Ivy, real name Mariana Gonçalves, started dating in late 2018 and went public on New Year's Day 2019.
The couple lived together in Manchester after Dias joined the Premier League giants in a £61 million move from Benfica.
Dias, who won the Premier League and Champions League with Man City, reportedly split with Ivy due to 'lifestyle differences'.
Portuguese magazine Flash! reported after the breakup that Dias had wished for a more 'discreet' life, which was at odds with the 'exuberance' of his former love.
A source told the publication: 'The now ex-couple already shared a house in Manchester, where the singer had moved to be close to Rúben while betting on her musical career in London.
'The lifestyle, more discreet on the part of the footballer and contrasting with the more exuberant side of the artist, ultimately became incompatible…'
The split reportedly happened after the couple's summer vacation in Greece in July 2021.
Dias recently romanced Love Island star Arabella Chi after reportedly starting dating in September 2023.
The Sun reported that Arabella regularly flew from her home in Ibiza to spend time with Ruben in Britain.
They added that the star had 'showered' her stunner with gifts as they reportedly tried to keep the romance a secret.
They met through mutual friends, but the relationship became public when they shared messages about the Eiffel Tower in November 2023.
A source said at the time: 'Rúben and Arabella are quietly dating. She visited him in Manchester and their dates all flew under the radar.
“They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break of the week, where he took her to dinner and dinner at the best restaurants.”
'Rúben and Arabella try to keep their relationship a secret because it is still in its infancy. But they had the best time together in Paris and really seem to be falling for each other.'
They appeared to confirm their romance after they were spotted at an airport on holiday together in early 2024.
The pair reportedly split after a New Year's holiday in 2024, with the Premier League star ending the three-month romance.
Arabella appeared on Love Island: All Stars just weeks later, with the 33-year-old later speaking out about her unhappiness in love.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday in August, Arabella said: 'Last year was probably my unluckiest when it came to finding the one. I've been so unlucky in love.
“I dated people who I thought were the ones at the time, and that was a mistake I've since learned from.”
'What I learned from dating last year is that you think you know someone, but you don't know them at all. I dated people who, in retrospect, might not have been the best fit for me.”
After splitting from Chi, Dias was reportedly 'spotted in Ibiza with a mysterious blonde' in the summer of 2024.
The Man City star has now been linked to Jama, with the Love Island presenter, 30, single since splitting from boyfriend Stormzy last year.
Stormzy and Jama announced their shocking split in July after posting a joint statement on Instagram that read: 'We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019 and spent five years maneuvering our lives apart.
They confirmed the split was 'final' after previously going their separate ways after a five-year relationship in 2019 and reconnecting in August 2023.
Although it was thought the couple split after disagreements over when to settle down, with Stormzy being more of a homeboy and Jama more career-driven, she confirmed last month that this was not the case.
After photos emerged of the 31-year-old rapper and his new girlfriend Victoria Monet, Jama took to Instagram to take the opportunity to say that the “I don't want to settle down and have kids” narrative is a lie. '
It was reported that the former couple split because Maya wanted to focus on her career instead of settling down with the “homebody” rapper.
Jama will soon return as host of Love Island later this month, and she was just announced as The Masked Singer's newest judge, replacing Rita Ora.
Jama was given the full-time role as Love Island's number one presenter when Laura Whitmore stepped down in 2022.
Since then she has hosted Love Island Games, Love Island All Stars and series 11, which were released in June and July.
