Gary Lineker publicly reveals Maya Jama’s new relationship with Man City star Ruben Dias – as he asks Micah Richards to ‘stop flirting’ with her
Gary Lineker has publicly revealed Maya Jama’s new relationship with Manchester City star Ruben Dias.
The Love Island star, 30, is thought to have been dating the Citizens’ centre back for the past months after the couple was spotted celebrating the New Year’s Eve together.
Last week, Jama hinted that she is taking Portuguese lessons, adding fuel to speculation that her relationship with Dias is taking another serious step.
Now, the 30-year-old – alongside Juventus forward Alisha Lehmann – has been announced as the manager ahead of the launch of the Baller League.
Following the announcement, the Love Island host appeared on the Ballers League social media to share her views while she jokingly called Micah Richards her ‘opponent’ and made fun of his age.
However, after just 30 seconds, former England star Gary Lineker appeared in the footage to let out the rumours of her relationship with Ruben Dias.

The former England star asked Micah Richards to ‘stop flirting’ with Jama while urging her to call Ruben Dias into their Baller League team
‘You disrespected me, didn’t you? You said I look 40 years old, said Richards to Jama and added: ‘I’m only 36. You do me wrong man. How old are you?’
The reality-show star responded: ‘I’m 30 actually, on the dot. Just 3, 0, new, fresh 30. I just got there.’
‘Micah, stop flirting and get her boyfriend to play for us,’ said Lineker after he suddenly appeared in the video, followed by a burst of laughter.
Jama was clearly upset after the former England player prompted further speculation.
‘Get out! This is why I don’t talk to old people. They’re so weird,’ she claimed after the incident.
Although Dias and Jama’s couple has not yet gone public, they are rumoured to be dating since they were seen celebrating New Year’s Eve together in Ibiza.
They have been together for several months after the Love Island star first caught the Portuguese’s eye when they met at the European Music Awards.
In February, the pair have been spotted wearing matching £5,050 ‘LOVE Bracelet’ by Cartier.

Jama was spotted wearing the jewellery in an Instagram post before Dias appeared with the same item during the training ahead of his side’s Champions League second leg tie against Real Madrid.
It is understood that YouTube star KSI will take over the president role, while Jama and Lehmann, dubbed the ‘world’s sexiest footballer’, will become the first all-female management pairing in the start-up league.
Furthermore, Lineker, Richards and Alan Shearer will also serve as managers for the six-a-side league, which is set to feature 12 teams.
England’s women’s star Chloe Kelly has teamed up with Ian Wright to coach one of the sides, while ex-Arsenal trio Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg have been confirmed to manage another team.
