Maya Jama has seemingly confirmed her relationship with a Premier League defender.

The Love Island presenter, 30, filmed herself in the back of a car with a footballer as she pointed out that the paparazzi were following the duo around.

"We're currently being followed by a van of paps," she said in a video shared on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday (13 May).

"When we came out of the restaurant, they were like spread across the road and we got straight in the car so they didn't get us."

"And now they're following, I'm in half a mind to just give them a f***king show, and the other half is hide," Maya joked.

I think you probably know who it is, but watch below for the 'reveal':

In her Instagram Story, Maya filmed herself in a car with Manchester City centre back Ruben Dias, 27.

"I posted the food pics once we had already left," the TV host wrote in the caption, assuming that the pictures made 'the paps' aware of their whereabouts.

It's the first time she has shared a video of Dias with her 3.2 million followers after The Sun reported that they first met the MTV EMAs in Manchester awards show in November.

In a video shared by the outlet, it shows the duo hugging in a bunker at the Copper Box Arena in East London for KSI's Baller League event in March.

The clip also shows Dias pulling her in for a hug and kissing her cheek.

“Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other,” a source told The Sun.

“They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.”

However, the two have yet to officially announce if they are in a relationship or not.

It comes after Jama appeared mortified after Gary Lineker might have accidentally confirmed the rumours during the Baller League event.

In a video, Micah Richards and Jama were engaging in a bit of back-and-forth, with Jama calling the retired Manchester City star her main 'op' in the competition.

Richards then said: "You said I look 40 years old. I'm only 36. You do me wrong man. How old are you?

"I'm 30 actually, on the dot. Just 3-0, new, fresh 30. I just got there."

The conversation was then interrupted by Lineker, who jumped in to tell Richards to stop 'flirting' and convince Jama's boyfriend to play for their team.

Both sports presenters chuckled at the comment, after Jama told the pair to 'get out'.

"This is why I don't talk to old people," she then said to the camera. "They're so weird."

LADbible Group has contacted Maya Jama's and Ruben Dias' representatives for comment.
