Rumours had been swirling around the couple for months. After meeting at the EMAs in November last year, she had since been spotted at several of Dias’ football matches.

On Sunday, she even brought her family to support Dias at Wembley as Man City won 2-0 against Nottingham Forest.

Maya had also been posting cryptic clues on her social media, hinting at her new beau.

As well as sharing flowers she had seemingly been bought, she also shared pictures of a romantic dinner date - with her date’s head purposely cut out of frame.

It has also been reported that she was followed by Dias’ mother on Instagram, while Dias himself had been posting cryptic couple photos.

The Love Island presenter and DJ has previously been embroiled with rapper Stormzy, in an on-and-off relationship spanning 10 years. The pair finally split in July last year.

“We never, ever, in a million years, thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup,” she said last year when officially ending her entanglement with Stormzy.

“We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019 and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart.”
