Maya Jama flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a TINY bikini before packing on the PDA boyfriend Ruben Dias amid their romantic Ibiza getaway
The Love Island host, 30, took to her Instagram with snaps of her loved up trip with the Manchester City star, 27, as they topped up their tans before enjoying a romantic meal.
Maya looked nothing short of incredible in the tiny brown two piece as she relaxed in her luxurious accommodation with incredible sea views.
She also posted snaps of a shirtless Ruben who showcased his muscles as he lit a BBQ before later heading off to explore the island on a bike ride.
The couple then cosied up while enjoying a swanky meal and leaned in for a smooch as they dined with pals.
Maya captioned the post: 'La isla de la magia' which translates to 'The Magic Island' and smitten Ruben quickly commented with a love heart emoji.
Maya has been dating Ruben for several months and recently confirmed their romance on social media.
The pair have appeared to have gone from strength to strength with the sportsman flying out to Spain to support Maya while she is filming Love Island.
As she shared an album of fun snaps soaking up the sun, Ruben also shared some moments with Maya.
Alongside the post Ruben confirmed his love for the star and penned: 'Sun, love, crocodiles, some fits and one advice.'
And Maya appeared to approve of his sweet declaration as she commented with a love heart and fire emoji.
The couple are believed to have met after the stunner caught the Portuguese player's eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November.
Their romance was finally confirmed after they were seen packing on the PDA at KSI's Baller League event in April.
And posting a snap with her new boyfriend for the first time, Maya looked incredible in a triangle bikini while soaking up some sun on a boat.
She was later diving into the water while Ruben filmed her from the top deck.
Maya went Instagram official with her boyfriend Ruben earlier this year, when she shared a video for the first time.
The TV star was all smiles in the clip as she sat alongside the footballer in a car heading back to her house.
The presenter has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Dias live in action for Man City.
Footage of the pair last month showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck.
Ruben tried to fly under the radar and keep a low profile as he stepped out in casual clothes and a cap.
A source told The Sun: 'Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other.
'They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.'
It was the first time they were seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent.

Pressure & better keepers - why penalties are being missed at Euro 2025
The penalty shootout between England and Sweden at Euro 2025 will go down as one of the most dramatic in football the 14 spot-kicks taken, only five were scored, with six saved and three missed for a conversion rate of just 35.7%.A bizarre outlier? Not so much. At Euro 2025, penalties have been far from a guaranteed source of goals, with a tournament success rate of 58.5%.Spain failed to score either of their two penalties against Switzerland on Friday, and Germany had one saved in normal time when they faced France, before another three went awry in a 14-penalty shootout that admittedly lacked the chaos of England v success rate is the lowest at this stage of a women's tournament in the past 15 years. In comparison, 84.4% of penalties were scored at 2015 World the seven major women's tournaments since 2011 and before Euro 2025, the success rate was 72.99% - slightly up on the 70.56% scored in men's competitions since 2010. So why are penalties now so much harder to score at major women's tournaments? BBC Sport dug into the stats, asked the players and managers, and quizzed the experts to try to find an answer. More interest, greater expectations There is no question there is greater interest in women's football than ever before, particularly in England since they won Euro 2022.A total of 7.4 million people watched their 2025 quarter-final against the Swedes on BBC One, and there has been a growth in media interest in the past three Super League games are now played at larger stadiums, and many of the Lionesses are household put under a greater spotlight could be a major factor in missed penalties, according to Geir Jordet - professor of football and psychology at the Norwegian School of Sports Science, and author of Pressure: Lessons from the Psychology of the Penalty Shootout."We know from research that penalty takers are vulnerable to pressure," he told BBC Sport. "Most of this research has been done on men, but when pressure goes up, performance goes down."It is interesting in the women's game... the interest has exploded in the past five years. I am curious about whether that has an effect on these players."Of course there are exceptions, and in the WSL a lot of people watch some games. But Premier League players perform for 50,000 every week and to millions at home. That is new to these players."I'm not saying female players are worse under pressure, I am saying the pressure is relatively speaking higher now than it used to be. You need to experience this to find the ways to cope with that."There is so much learning taking place, and I think women's teams are more ready to absorb this. Football is more conservative on the men's side." Jordet's theory seems to have some basis in reality, with England forward Chloe Kelly saying their ability to perform under pressure gave them the have now won all three shootouts under Sarina Wiegman - against Sweden, Nigeria at the 2023 World Cup, and Brazil at the Finalissima at have also reached at least the semi-finals of every World Cup and Euros since 2015. Importance of data While increased interest in women's football adds to the pressure, it also brings increased finances - allowing for more research and by and large try to perfect a particular style of penalty, and work on that in training and games. But thanks to better scouting and data analysis, opponents can anticipate their moves with a greater degree of accuracy keeper Jennifer Falk had a list of England's takers and their penalty style on her water bottle - and saved four spot-kicks in the 32-year-old and her England counterpart Hannah Hampton both went the right way for five of the seven kicks they Ann-Katrin Berger followed the same method as Falk, with TV cameras picking out her list during extra time. "The takers have been rigorously mapped out - the keepers know these takers more now than in the past," said Jordet."If you add the pressure, takers tend to fall back on a default pattern and will shoot in the way they are most comfortable doing." As in men's football, there is still a school of thought that penalties are a lottery and practice can never make before the match against England, Sweden manager Peter Gerhardsson said: "Somewhere it is a personal responsibility. The players who want to practise penalties can, but we haven't set up anything. "It is one of the most difficult moments in football. It is so difficult to prepare."That is a rare - and perhaps outdated - approach, though, and not one England subscribe how much they had prepared for penalties, captain Leah Williamson said: "Loads."I know there were a few more misses than normal, but everybody does [that]. It's something you have to box off before a tournament." Keepers 'finding ways to be smarter' As well as being better prepared, Jordet also feels female goalkeepers are more capable physically, thus allowing them to more easily save penalties."For a long time, goalkeeping has been less developed in the women's game," he explained. "There are physical limitations such as height and it is more difficult to defend the goal than male counterparts."But now with increased professionalisation, they are finding ways to be smarter, to read their opponents."For years, critics of women's football have gleefully posted videos of goalkeepers struggling to stop tame shots, or posted on social media and under online articles how women should play with smaller goals or whether it was the five saves Hampton made on Thursday against Sweden, the four penalties stopped by Falk, or the absence of amateur keepers at the Euros, there is less evidence to support that when Falk herself stepped up to take the fifth penalty against England, Hampton was worried as the Lionesses had not prepared for how she would take them."I think sometimes keepers don't get enough credit," England back-up goalkeeper Khiara Keating told BBC Radio 5 Live."Obviously there's the backstage things that you don't see - the analysis, the hard work in training, the reading, the body language. The keeper standard is getting way better." What does the future hold? Of course, there is some truth in the old adage of penalties being a lottery. Of all things in the micromanaged world of modern football, luck remains a key ingredient."There may be no real reason, it could be random," admitted Jordet. "Another 25 penalties and it might even out."That was Gerhardsson's primary excuse after his side became the first team at a women's Euros to lose a penalty shootout after their opponents missed three of their own kicks."You might take five penalty kicks a year and you might be 3-0 up," he said. "At the end of the day, you don't have anyone who would like to take a penalty." But as women's football continues to rise from the ashes of a 50-year ban, technique all over the pitch will improve, and styles of penalty-taking more common in men's football will includes what Jordet called the "keeper-dependent technique", where a player steps up to the ball, looks at the keeper and where they move, then rolls it the other is commonly seen from players such as Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, yet very rarely in women's of the 14 takers in the Sweden-England tie waited for the keeper to move. Spain's Mariona Caldentey demonstrated the downside of that method, though, during her side's 2-0 last-eight win as Switzerland keeper Livia Peng called her bluff, did not move and dived the right way as the penalty rolled wide of the we should expect to see more flexibility and a better penalty technique in women's football - and it was that adaptability that ultimately helped England Bronze scored their decisive penalty with a strike measured at more than 63mph, although she later revealed to BBC Sport this was not her original plan."I hurt my leg a little bit in the game, so I kind of changed my mind," said the Chelsea full-back."Also I watched the goalkeeper in every single penalty and she dived quite early, and statistically in a shootout it's quite risky for the keeper to stand still and [someone] go down the middle."So yeah, I love maths."

Braless Eva Longoria, 50, stuns in a daringly plunging silk gown as she attends charity gala in Marbella
Eva Longoria looked nothing short of sensational as she attended the Global Gift charity gala in Marbella on Saturday evening. The Desperate Housewives actress , 50, went braless as she slipped into a daringly plunging yellow silk gown that hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure. Her gorgeous dress boasted a racy keyhole detail which she accessorised with a simple gold necklace and diamond earrings. Eva added extra height to her frame with a pair of perspex heels and slicked back her long brunette locks into a ponytail. In May the actress, who shares son Santiago, seven, with husband José Antonio, said she always thought she'd become a success in Hollywood. Eva has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as Only Murders in the Building, and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent. The actress told Byrdie: 'When I look at the longevity I've had in this industry, it makes sense to me'. 'Of course, I'm going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. I knew I'd be successful because I was surrounded by successful women - my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable. 'They were everything I wanted to be.' Eva's self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood. She explained: 'I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, "Oh my god, who would have thought?" 'And I said, "Me. I thought it. I dreamt it." If you don't champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far.' Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years. The brunette beauty shared: 'When you're young, you should say yes to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life. 'Now that I'm 50, I'm prioritizing differently,' explained the close friend of ER star George Clooney. 'I'm curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I'm spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love. 'Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I've worked hard enough to say 'no' now.' Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years. The actress said: 'I don't mind ageing. I just want to age well. I'm grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I'm trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.'
