Television presenter Maya Jama opted for a relaxed and casual look as she returned to Cape Town on Monday, following a romantic Valentine's Day weekend spent with her boyfriend, footballer Ruben Dias. The 31-year-old host of Love Island: All Stars, who has been filming the ITV dating series in South Africa, was spotted wearing a simple white cropped T-shirt paired with loose-fitting jeans and vibrant Nike trainers upon her arrival.
Stylish Yet Simple Travel Attire
Maya completed her effortless airport ensemble by tucking her hair under a baseball cap and shielding her eyes with a pair of fashionable cat-eye sunglasses. This low-key appearance marked her return to work for the final week of Love Island: All Stars, which is scheduled to conclude on February 23rd. Prior to her journey, she had spent time at home reconnecting with loved ones.
A Glimpse Into Their Celebrations
On Sunday, Maya and Ruben offered fans a peek into their Valentine's Day festivities through a series of posts on her Instagram Stories. The couple enjoyed a lavish dinner out, where Maya humorously noted they were channelling their inner 'Picasso' by drawing at the table, even joking that Ruben was 'Picasso number two' due to his artistic skills.
However, the weekend took an amusing turn with an unexpected visit to the hardware store B&Q. In a hilarious video shared by Maya, Ruben was seen using a saw to trim the stems of an enormous bouquet of red roses he had gifted her. This quirky DIY moment added a unique twist to their traditional Valentine's celebrations.
Relationship Insights and Future Plans
The couple, who have been dating since 2024 and publicly confirmed their romance in April last year, appear to be growing stronger. In a candid revelation on her Instagram Stories this week, Maya admitted that the primary reason she continues to reside in the UK is for Ruben.
She expressed a preference for warmer climates, stating, 'There is something about me abroad compared to me in England and she's a better human.' Maya highlighted her enjoyment of outdoor activities like strolls and bike rides, which she feels are more suited to life abroad. She captioned her video update with, 'I'm not gonna leave yet really but I am only in England for my man at this point,' underscoring her commitment to their relationship despite her personal inclinations.
