Was Manchester City star Rúben Dias making secret Instagram moves? Maya Jama split rumours fuel fresh speculation | International Sports News
Rúben Dias is once again all over social media, but this time it is not because of football. Just weeks after rumours claimed he and TV host Maya Jama had quietly ended their relationship, another strange online story has suddenly gone viral. Fans online are now accusing the Manchester City defender of “toe-dipping” on Instagram by allegedly following influencers late at night and quickly unfollowing them if they did not follow him back. The claims first exploded online on May 27, 2026, and quickly became a trending topic across X and Instagram fan pages. While there is still no proof of cheating, affairs, or any real-life meetings, the rumours have added even more attention to Dias’ reported breakup with Maya Jama. Reports from multiple outlets, including The Sun, continue to say the pair split on good terms because of their busy careers, long-distance struggles, and packed schedules.According to the viral claims, Dias allegedly followed Scottish influencer Claire from Perth during late-night hours in November 2025 before unfollowing her the next day after she did not respond. Similar claims also surfaced involving Portuguese model and bridal designer Catarina Duraes in March 2026, only weeks before the reported split. Fans later connected Dias to Australian reality TV personality Amelia Marni and another woman named Georgia after noticing similar Instagram activity following the breakup rumours.
Rúben Dias and Maya Jama split rumours spark divided reactions online
The internet has been completely split over the latest rumours. Some fans believe the entire situation has been blown out of proportion, while others think the timing looks suspicious following the reported breakup.One user on X wrote, “Ruben Dias moving on after Maya is one thing, but this ‘toe-dipping’ story from The Sun feels like classic tabloid exaggeration.”Another fan posted, “Honestly, I really thought Maya Jama and Ruben Dias were going to get married.”Some Manchester City supporters even joked about the situation online. One user wrote, “Yeah… this guy has become a complete mess lately,” while another added, “The 2020/21 Ruben Dias would be disgusted by his current self.”Still, many people defended the Portugal international and questioned why the rumours became such a huge story in the first place. One reply said, “Total nonsense, by the way. It’s The Sun.” Another user commented, “A man can’t explore his options now?”Dias and Maya Jama first met during the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester in November 2024 before reportedly starting their relationship the following month. Their romance slowly became public throughout 2025, with Maya later sharing holiday pictures from Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Reports also claimed the couple bought a mansion together in Cheshire in late 2025 before eventually ending the relationship around April 2026.Right now, neither Rúben Dias nor Maya Jama has publicly responded to the latest online rumours. Dias is currently preparing for Portugal’s 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, while Maya continues focusing on television projects, including Love Island and Celebrity Traitors.
