“My 85-Year-Old Grandad Is Asking Me if I’ve Cheated on My Girlfriend” - Manchester City Superstar Dismisses ‘Lie’ About Breakup
Dias said his grandfather kept seeing repeated cheating claims as the Manchester City defender denied any affair and called the reports unacceptable.
On Friday, City defender Ruben Dias denied cheating allegations regarding his split from Love Island presenter Maya Jama, posting on Instagram that it is "wrong to lie to people and to portray an opposite image of someone just for clickbait."
Speculation surrounding the pair's relationship status has been rampant in recent weeks after both removed photos of one another from social media in mid-May, following their breakup a few weeks ago.
Dias said he felt compelled to speak after his 85-year-old grandfather asked if he had cheated because of news reports. "No line was ever crossed in that regard," he stated, emphasizing mutual respect with Maya.
Sources previously told the Sun the pair had come to a "crossroads" due to conflicting career commitments, including an intense filming schedule and World Cup preparations, while Jama has yet to comment publicly.
The pair, together for around 18 months, met at the MTV European Music Awards in Manchester and confirmed their relationship in April 2025, most recently living together in Manchester.
