Ruben Dias’ New Romance Exposed After Model Posts Videos from His Bedroom
Manchester City defender Ruben Dias’ new relationship has been uncovered after model Valentina Best, known online as Vally, shared videos filmed inside the bedroom of the home he previously shared with former partner Maya Jama. Fans quickly matched the décor, kitchen, gym and exterior details to images from the property’s past, confirming that the 28-year-old German influencer had stayed overnight at the £4 million mansion in Cheshire.
Dias, 29, and Love Island presenter Maya Jama, 31, purchased the four-bedroom house from the winner of an Omaze charity prize draw shortly before Christmas last year. The couple separated in April. The Sun reported at the time that they had “reached a crossroads” as a demanding summer approached—Dias preparing for the World Cup with Portugal and Jama facing a heavy filming schedule. Last month Dias told Esquire Portugal that he still hoped to find a serious relationship “just like anyone else.”

How the Location Was Identified
Viewers of Best’s content recognised the bedroom styling from photographs Maya had previously shared. Further clues included the road outside the contemporary property, the layout of the kitchen and gym—both of which matched images from the house’s Omaze listing—and a separate snap showing a nearby Costa Coffee in Alderley Edge. Taken together, the details left little doubt that the videos had been recorded inside Dias’s home.
Best has approximately 170,000 followers and regularly posts images from her travels. She and Dias were first linked in 2024, though the relationship had not been widely confirmed in public until the bedroom footage prompted a fresh wave of online detective work.

A High-Profile Previous Relationship
Dias and Jama’s romance attracted considerable attention during their time together. Both maintain large public profiles—he as a central figure in Manchester City’s defence and Portugal’s national team, she as a leading television host—and their joint appearances and social-media posts were followed closely. The acquisition of the Cheshire house appeared to signal a shared long-term plan; the split four months later demonstrated how quickly that plan could change under the pressure of conflicting professional calendars.

By inviting Best to stay at the same address, Dias has effectively closed one chapter and opened another in full view of an audience already familiar with the property’s interiors. The decision to remain in the house after the separation is unremarkable in practical terms; the circulation of new videos from its most private room has simply accelerated public awareness of his current personal life.

Privacy and Public Curiosity
Footballers of Dias’s stature routinely find that ordinary domestic details become content once they enter the online domain. Best’s posts were not framed as an exposé; they became one because viewers already knew the visual signature of the house from Maya’s earlier content and from the high-profile charity listing. The episode illustrates how residual digital footprints—property marketing images, old Instagram posts, a recognisable coffee-shop backdrop—can collapse the distance between private life and public narrative.

Neither Dias nor Best has issued a formal statement addressing the relationship or the footage. Jama has likewise remained silent on her former partner’s new situation. In the absence of comment, the facts remain those established by the visual matches: Best has been inside the property, recorded content there, and shared it with her audience; fans correctly identified the location; and Dias is no longer presenting himself as single in the manner he described to Esquire only weeks ago.

What Comes Next
For Dias the priority will remain performance on the pitch as Manchester City navigate the early weeks of the season. For Best the episode adds another layer of visibility to an already active social-media presence. For the audience that followed Dias and Jama’s relationship, the videos supply a definitive marker that both parties have moved on—albeit with one of them still living among the same walls that once framed the previous partnership.
The story is, at root, straightforward. A Premier League footballer has begun a new relationship; the woman involved has posted casual videos from his home; and an attentive online community has connected the images to a well-documented address. In an age when bedroom décor can become evidence, that is often all it takes for a private arrangement to become public knowledge.
