Why Did Maya Jama and Ruben Dias Split?
The breakup was revealed three weeks after it happened, with insiders stating that the relationship had "run its course" due to their demanding careers. A source told tabloids: "Maya and Ruben had a wonderful time together and there’s still a lot of love and respect between them. But with both of their careers going into overdrive over the summer, they realised the relationship had run its course and it was better to separate."
Maya is preparing to host Love Island starting June 1st and will also star in Guy Ritchie's Netflix show The Gentlemen. Ruben is focusing on the World Cup with Portugal. The pair have deleted all photos together from Instagram, but insiders assure there is no bad blood.
