Burglars recently targeted the Cheshire residence of television presenter Maya Jama and footballer Ruben Dias. The couple moved into their new home late last year after previously residing in different cities. Dias lived in Manchester, while Jama was based in London.
Background of Maya Jama and Ruben Dias
Maya Jama and Ruben Dias first met in Manchester during the MTV European Music Awards in November 2024. They publicly confirmed their relationship in April 2025.
Ruben Dias, a defender for Manchester City, joined the team in 2020 under manager Pep Guardiola. In August 2025, he signed a two-year contract extension, solidifying his position in the team.
Maya Jama has been the host of the popular show Love Island since 2023. She regularly shares glimpses of her life on social media, recently posting photos of their Cheshire home during Christmas. She also mentioned owning properties in London and the picturesque Cotswolds.
Cheshire Residence and Burglary Incidents
The couple’s Cheshire residence is situated in an area favored by both current and former Premier League footballers. Following the burglary incident, it has been revealed that they are not alone in facing this unfortunate event.
Previous Burglary Victims
- Jack Grealish, current teammate of Dias and on loan at Everton
- Former Manchester City players Raheem Sterling
- Riyad Mahrez
These individuals have also been targeted by burglars, suggesting a pattern in the area. While it remains unclear if all incidents involved the same perpetrators, the burglaries happened under similar circumstances, with footballers being away from their homes.
As security becomes a growing concern for high-profile individuals, the incidents raise awareness about the risks associated with celebrity lifestyles.
