Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has posed shirtless for a magazine shoot just days after sparking rumours that he is dating Love Island host Maya Jama.
Dias, 27, and Jama, 30, met at the European Music Awards in November, and began following each other on Instagram shortly afterwards.
They were then spotted celebrating New Year’s Eve together in Ibiza as speculation intensified that they might be an item.
Neither Dias or Jama have confirmed whether they are in a relationship, but the former has thrust himself into the spotlight once more after flaunting his ripped physique for the latest edition of DREAMERS VOL. 2 for DSection Magazine.
The Portugese centre back swapped his City gear for an Emporio Armani outfit, but ditched the shirt for some photos.
Dias also spoke about his football career in an interview with the magazine, as he revealed how he dealt with the setback of losing the Champions League final to Chelsea in 2021 before triumphing in the same competition two years later.

‘That (loss to Chelsea) could have derailed me, but instead, it strengthened my resolve,’ he said.
‘The following season, we faced another heartbreak against Real Madrid, but in my third season, we won the Champions League in Istanbul.
‘Defeats are moments of immense strength—they’re part of the process that leads to greater success.’
Meanwhile, Jama is preparing for the launch of Love Island All Stars, and she addressed rumours about her dating situation earlier this week.
Speaking at the lavish villa in South Africa, she said: ‘Even before Love Island, people were interested in my love life, so I’m used to it.’
The brunette beauty insisted: ‘This time it’s not about my love life, it’s about theirs — let’s focus on the Islanders.’
But she was willing to give tips on how to approach your crush.
Jama added: ‘Don’t be shy to hit on people or get your feelings out there, because you never know what’s going to happen and someone else could come in and steal your partner — so just go for it and don’t hold back. No long games, and take action.’

She then started dating NBA star Ben Simmons in 2021, but the couple called off their engagement the following year.
Jama and Stormzy reunited in 2023, but announced that they had gone their separate ways last July.
Dias is also used to his love life being discussed in the media. He has previously dated Portuguese popstar April Ivy and Love Island star Arabella Chi.
