Maya Jama put on a glamorous display as she posed for a World Cup themed photoshoot to promote the new series of Love Island. The host, 31, who has just split from her footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias, 29, looked incredible in a white latex dress that showed off her hourglass figure.
Promo Details
Maya took centre stage as she posed in a locker room with 12 Love Island branded football shirts hanging up, ready for the singletons to enter the Mallorcan villa. In the promo video for the series, which will start on Monday, Maya took part in a World Cup themed trailer. She said: 'We've got a squad of worldies and a bench full of bombshells. Giving more fire pit drama, deeper post-matchup analysis and spicier villa action reviews. Love Island. It's all kicking off.'
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place while Love Island is on and will run from 11 June to the 19 July.
Maya's Recent Split
The new series comes just weeks after Maya and Ruben ended their 18-month relationship. Sources shared last week that the pair decided to end the relationship after realising it had 'run its course,' with both focusing on busy times in their careers. However, it's thought the pair's split has been 'amicable,' and there is still 'a lot of love and respect between them'.
An insider said: 'Maya is heading into an intense filming schedule and Ruben's focus is fully on the World Cup, so they've decided to part ways.' They went on to tell The Sun: 'There's no bad blood at all between them. They're still incredibly fond of one another, but with months apart ahead and huge work commitments coming up, they both felt it was the right time to step back from the relationship.'
Friends around them could see how much they cared about each other. But with Maya's work schedule and Ruben's football commitments ramping up, the relationship naturally reached a crossroads. The split has been very mature and mutual. They're both young, ambitious and entering huge phases in their respective careers.
Before jetting off to Mallorca, the presenter got a facial with Shane Cooper. The presenter then flew to Inverness to film the new series of Celebrity Traitors. Maya and Ruben started dating in December 2024 after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester a month before.
