Ruben Dias was supported by girlfriend Maya Hama during Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest as he wrote about his experience in the away end on Instagram.
Maya Jam appeared to have enjoyed her first experience in a Manchester City away end as she cheered on her boyfriend Ruben Dias on Saturday. TV and radio star Jama was at the City Ground watching Dias and his team-mates win 2-1 in the closing stages of the game against Nottingham Forest.
The 31-year-old has been dating Dias, 28, for about a year and regularly attends City’s home matches at the Etihad. Hama and the Portuguese defender recently enjoyed a trip to Paris over the holidays around Christmas before returning to City on Saturday.
Dias was a mainstay for Josep Guardiola’s side, who entered the game against Forest on a seven-game winning streak. Although Omari Hutchinson tied the game after halftime, goals from Tijani Reinders and Rayan Cherki made it an eight-point lead.
Jama took to Instagram to share a snap from the away end in high spirits. “Being in the crowd at an away match was a completely different experience,” the Love Island host wrote, along with a laughing emoji.
Full-time Diaz was seen pointing out Jama waving from the stands and sharing a laugh with teammate Bernardo Silva. Back in August, Diaz broke his silence about dates similar to the one with Jama in an interview with The Telegraph and was asked if he was concerned about public attention.

“No, I think that’s the last thing you think about,” City’s vice-captain replied. “We’re just mutually aware of it and there’s no way around it. But at the end of the day, you can’t make up your own mind about that. You make up your own mind about everything else, but it’s an extra thing that you have to deal with, and of course you have to deal with it wisely.”
Diaz added, “In a way, I think she may want to avoid certain situations to feel more comfortable because she’s also a woman. It’s obviously difficult to tell someone who’s being rude to stop. And I have an easier way to do it myself.”

It remains to be seen whether Jama will travel to Sunderland on Thursday for Dias’ first game of 2026. City could move to the top of the Premier League with a win, depending on the outcome of Tuesday’s clash between leaders Arsenal and third-placed Aston Villa at the Emirates.
Guardiola described the win against Forest as “huge”, saying: “Winter away against Nottingham Forest…I know the memory is fading, but when you win one of the six Premier Leagues, games like this often happen. Three points, but these are three big points. It’s mainly because of the quality of the opposition.”
