A shocking incident has left Maya Jama and Ruben Dias, the power couple of entertainment and sports, reeling. Their beautiful Cheshire home, a sanctuary they shared, was targeted by burglars on a fateful Wednesday evening. But here's where it gets controversial... the timing of the break-in suggests a calculated move by the perpetrators.
While Maya, the charismatic Love Island host, was captivating audiences in South Africa, and Ruben, the talented Manchester City defender, was focused on the Champions League game against Galatasaray, their home was violated. A spokesperson for Cheshire Police confirmed the burglary, stating that entry was gained and items were stolen. The couple, who had only recently moved in together, had been living apart, with Ruben in Manchester and Maya in London, until their paths crossed at the MTV European Music Awards in 2024. Their relationship blossomed, and they confirmed it to the world in 2025.
Ruben, a key member of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team since 2020, recently signed a two-year contract extension, solidifying his commitment to the club. Meanwhile, Maya, the beloved host of Love Island since 2023, had shared glimpses of their new life together, including their Cheshire home, with her followers.
Their Cheshire residence is located in an area known for its popularity among current and former Premier League footballers. Unfortunately, they are not alone in their misfortune. Other victims in the same area include Ruben's teammate, Jack Grealish, currently on loan at Everton, and former Manchester City players Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez.
It raises questions: Are these burglaries connected? Are footballers being specifically targeted due to their high-profile status and known travel schedules?
A source close to the couple revealed to The Sun that Maya and Ruben were devastated by the burglary. It's a stark reminder that even celebrities are not immune to such crimes.
And this is the part most people miss... it's not just about the material losses; it's the violation of privacy and the sense of safety that's shattered.
