The Love Island host shared the emotional message just two weeks after news of her break-up with the footballer emerged.
Jama posted the statement in the comments of a clip shared by podcast Cocktails and Takeaways, which discussed the end of the couple’s relationship.
“Truth is even when I tried to keep my relationships private we get photographed anyway,” she wrote.
She added: “I’m an all or nothing girl, I don’t casually date, so yes I will love loudly or not at all and if it ends, it ends.
“I decided a long time ago not to base personal life decisions on public opinions.”

It was revealed last month that Jama and Dias ended their relationship at the end of April after 18 months together.
The split came shortly before Jama travelled to Inverness to film The Celebrity Traitors.
Since then, both have deleted traces of each other from social media.
The pair began dating in December 2024 after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester the previous month.
Although they initially tried to keep the romance private, speculation quickly grew and they later confirmed the relationship.
Jama had reportedly moved to Cheshire to be closer to the Manchester City defender, who has been based in the North West since joining the club.
Rumours around the cause of the split have continued to circulate, prompting Dias to issue a lengthy statement on social media denying he had cheated.
He wrote: “I believe Maya deserves all the respect in the world.
“I feel that when my 85-year-old grandad is asking me if I’ve cheated on my girlfriend because he’s seen it repeatedly on the news, that’s where I draw the line on what’s acceptable and what’s not.”
He added: “Maya and I have always had a relationship built on mutual respect. No line was ever crossed in that regard.
“A lie told often enough can start to feel like the truth and for that reason I tell you that I didn’t cheat, nor did I ever have the intention or temptation to.
“The reasons why we broke up are private and belong to us and we’ve both dealt with it in a very mature way. I’ve always chosen to remain silent on these matters as my personal life is my business only.”
Prior to dating Jama, Dias dated Portuguese singer April Ivy between 2018 and 2021.
He also had a brief fling with Love Island star Arabella Chi between late 2023 and early 2024.
It is well-known that Maya Jama dated the British rapper Stormzy before coupling up with Dias.
The pair first dated from January 2015 until August 2019.
After shocking fans when they suddenly split up, the two reconnected in 2023 and dated for just under a year before calling it quits for good.
The TV presenter was also previously engaged to NBA player and the ex of Kendall Jenner, Ben Simmons.
