Ruben Dias and Maya Jama Strengthen Security After Home Burglary
Manchester City defender Ruben Dias and television presenter Maya Jama have been seen together in public for the first time since a traumatic burglary at their Cheshire residence. The outing occurred just before Dias's team prepared for a crucial European match, with the couple appearing composed as they move forward from the incident.
January Break-In Leaves Couple 'Devastated'
The burglary took place in January at their £4 million mansion in Cheshire's affluent Alderley Edge area. Reports indicate that Ruben Dias was away playing a match against Galatasaray at the time, while Maya Jama was in South Africa filming Love Island: All Stars. Upon returning, the couple discovered their home had been ransacked, leaving them described as 'devastated' by the violation.
Numerous valuable items were stolen during the break-in, including:
- Designer clothing and accessories
- High-value jewellery pieces
- Electronic devices and personal items
Enhanced Security Measures Implemented
In response to the burglary, Dias and Jama have significantly upgraded security at their Cheshire property. Despite the home already having advanced security systems, they have reportedly hired the Strongbox security team to provide 24-hour protection with guards stationed within the property grounds.
A source told The Sun newspaper: 'The couple asked a security firm to come in and assess the property and the suggestion was that having live-in round the clock guards would act as a great deterrent.'
The source added: 'Lots of footballers have private fitness coaches, chefs, drivers – and now are adding security guards to the list.'
Police Investigation Continues
Cheshire Police confirmed receiving a report of the burglary on January 28. A spokesperson stated to the Daily Mail: 'Shortly after 11.10pm on Wednesday 28 January, police received reports of a burglary at an address in Woodbrook Road, Alderley Edge.'
Officers attended the scene and confirmed that entry had been made to the property and multiple items had been stolen. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
Relationship Timeline Draws Public Interest
The relationship between Ruben Dias and Maya Jama has attracted significant public attention since they first met at the European Music Awards in November 2024. Their romance was officially confirmed during a public appearance at a Baller League event in April 2025, and they have since been spotted together at various events and outings.
During their recent public appearance, observers noted the couple appeared calm and focused on moving forward. An umbrella with the words 'F**cking Rain' drew attention as it shielded the footballer during their walk together.
Professional Updates for Both Stars
On the professional front, Maya Jama has reportedly been approached for the second season of Guy Ritchie's series 'The Gentlemen', according to BBC News. Meanwhile, Ruben Dias continues his football career with Manchester City as they compete in important European fixtures.
The couple's decision to enhance their home security reflects a growing trend among high-profile individuals who are taking additional measures to protect their privacy and safety following similar incidents.
