Maya Jama unveiled a new tattoo celebrating her mixed heritage as she shared a series of intimate snaps with Manchester City star Ruben Dias. The 31-year-old TV presenter proudly displayed her fresh inking — a trio of connected countries symbolising her Scottish, Swedish, and Somalian roots — while cuddling up with her footballer boyfriend in a heartwarming post.
Jama shows off new tattoo in photo dump
Jama, host of Love Island and The Masked Singer, showcased a brand-new arm tattoo on Thursday, offering fans a glimpse into her pride in her cultural heritage. The intricate design features the shapes of Scotland, Sweden, and Somalia — the three nations that make up her family background — drawn side by side on her upper arm.
Sharing the moment with her followers, Maya posted photos from a tattoo studio before uploading a loved-up snap with boyfriend Dias, who wrapped his arm around her and kissed her cheek as they relaxed in the back of a car. The presenter also documented her recent trip to Lisbon, where she watched Dias play for Portugal in their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Hungary, cheering him on alongside his family. Dressed casually in a white t-shirt and black leather bomber jacket, Maya was seen chatting with Ines Tomaz, the wife of Dias’ Manchester City teammate Bernardo Silva, while enjoying a glass of wine.

Jama and Dias have been dating for nearly a year, with their relationship going public in April 2025 after months of speculation. The pair reportedly first met at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2024, with early rumours circulating after fans spotted hints of Maya in Dias’ New Year’s Eve photo.
Their romance became official when they were seen together at KSI’s Baller League event in London, before later confirming things on social media with affectionate posts. Since then, the couple have balanced a high-profile relationship with a desire for privacy — a challenge given both of their celebrity statuses.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Dias addressed the media attention, saying: "No, I think that's the last thing you think about. We are just both aware of it, and there's no way around it. But at the end of the day, you don't make it about it. You make it about everything else, and then that's an extra you have to deal with and, obviously, be smart with it."
Reports in August suggested that Maya was preparing to spend more time in Manchester, possibly moving in with Dias as their relationship continues to strengthen.

On the pitch, Dias has been a steady and vital presence for Manchester City so far this season, maintaining his reputation as one of the Premier League’s most dependable defenders. As of mid-October 2025, he has made nine appearances across all competitions — seven in the league and two in the Champions League — amassing 725 minutes of action.
His performances and strong leadership in the back line have been key despite City’s mixed start to the campaign. Having recently signed a contract extension until 2029, Dias remains central to Pep Guardiola’s plans as City chase domestic and European success once again. His availability and fitness have also been positive, with no injuries reported so far this term, unlike the last couple of seasons.
Internationally, Dias continues to be a cornerstone for Portugal, having featured prominently in their World Cup qualifying campaign, including the recent win over Hungary that Maya attended.
Dias' attention turns to Man City as Jama juggles busy schedule
Jama’s new tattoo and her growing bond with Rúben Dias have once again captured fans’ attention — both for the personal meaning behind the ink and for the couple’s continued show of unity. As she juggles her busy filming schedule with The Masked Singer and Love Island, Maya seems to be striking a balance between her career and her relationship with the Portuguese defender.
For Dias, focus now returns to Manchester City duties after the international break, with key fixtures on the horizon as City aim to close the gap in the Premier League. Guardiola's side will take on Everton and Aston Villa on either side of a Champions League clash with Villarreal at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
