Maya added no caption to the image slide, simply holding the red blooms up to the camera.
The ITV2 host, 30, and Manchester City ace Rúben, 27, have been dating since the end of last year.
And it's not the first time she's been treated to an impressive floral selection as back in January, the former Radio 1 DJ showcased another selection of roses with fans claiming "they're from Ruben."
Clearly after her long-haul trip, the sports ace was eager for a nice welcome home.
Maya also treated fans to a series of holiday snapshots on her Instagram grid, with images showing her posing on a balcony as well as stripping down to a series of bikinis.
She met the defender in September at the MTV Europe Music Awards, two months after announcing her split from rapper Stormzy.
She and Ruben were then spotted for the first time together in public on New Year's Eve, when they shared a romantic dinner.
A source said: 'Maya and Ruben swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December.
'When Ruben got injured and had to miss the congested new year fixtures, he jumped at the chance to see in 2025 with Maya in Spain.
Spending New Year's Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship.
GETTING SERIOUS
The Sun was recently first to report how the loved-up pair were getting serious, and had taken their relationship to the next level.
A source said: 'Maya and Rúben are getting more serious and she has met his mum Bernadette.

'She is very happy and in a great place in her personal life and her career.
"It's shaping up to be a very exciting year for Maya.'
The couple got together after being introduced at the MTV EMAs in Manchester in November, following the breakdown of Maya's on-off relationship with rapper Stormzy last summer.
At last month's Brit Awards, it was also revealed Maya has started taking Portuguese lessons.
She captioned an Instagram post: 'Lessons have started,' as a man believed to be Rúben spoke Portuguese in the background.
Speaking about her take on relationships previously, Maya said: 'I'm such a lover but I am a big leaver as well.
'I know what makes me happy and I know what I like — and this is no disrespect to anyone I've been in a relationship with, but if it's not that then I will leave it.
'I only want you if you are going to add to that or make it better, otherwise I am not really on it.'

An onlooker said: 'Ronnie looked really into Lauren, and certainly wasn't spending his time pining over Harriett. "He's always had an eye for the ladies, so it was no surprise that Lauren caught his attention. "They spent most of the night chatting and looked very cosy.

Love Island fans work out 'real reason' Olivia Attwood pushed Ronnie to make Harriett his girlfriend He insisted that was simply a cruel hoax by a social media user, writing: "This is clearly a set up.

Alison Hammond shuts down bizarre pregnancy claim in best way possible
Alison Hammond has shut down speculation that she's pregnant in the most hilarious way possible after false rumours spread online. The Great British Bake-Off and This Morning host, 50, has reportedly been the subject of false AI-generated stories that are claiming she's with child. Alison has one child – her son Aidan who was born in 2005 – but she appears to be determined not to have any more if her latest comments are anything to go by. Naturally, Alison has responded to the pregnancy rumours with good spirit and humour, taking to social media to deny them in the best way possible. Posting to her Instagram account, which has 1.7 million followers, she said: 'Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant, I can confirm I am not having a baby.' She continued: '[I'm definitely not pregnant] as I'm not sure my 50-year-old womb could take it. However, I do think we should all dance like Meghan.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The statement was accompanied by a video of Alison dancing around her living room after stuffing her dress with a giant pillow to mimic a pregnant belly. Referencing the already famous video of Meghan Markle dancing while heavily pregnant with daughter Princess Lillibet, Alison busted a move or two while waving her hands in the air like she just didn't care. In the video, which was taken four years ago, the heavily pregnant Duchess of Sussex is shown dancing in a hospital room to the sound of Starrkeisha song Baby Momma. Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili's fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: 'Four years ago today, this also happened. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates – so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' The happy video has (of course) drawn some criticism on social media after Meghan was seen to twerk at one point, with online users criticising her behaviour. For Metro, Kirsty Ketley argued back: '[The video] shows something powerful: joy. A woman, supported by her partner, using music and laughter to cope with one of the most intense moments of their life.' Commenting on Alison's video, Bryony Gordon called Alison 'our queen' while Lisa Snowden applauded, celebrated, and laughed at the clip with a group of emojis. More Trending Scottish radio presenter Jenni Falconer commented saying 'You are just brilliant' and added three big love hearts in her message to Alison. Alison's son Aidan, now 19, was born in 2005 when the Big Weekend presenter was engaged to Noureddine Boufaied – the couple split in 2014. She confessed, 'I felt that failure with [Noureddine] when we broke up, but he moved on and has three other kids now and they are part of our life,' but revealed that they have successfully co-parented over the years.
