MAYA Jama broke her so-called love “curse” over football star Ruben Dias — as she saw him win 5-2 for Portugal on Sunday.
The Love Island host, 30, then stayed up into the early hours to celebrate with her boyfriend, 27 – posing for a fireside snap in Lisbon at 3.30am.
The Manchester City centre-back spent a month injured on the sidelines after they started dating in December.
He also got stick from fans for his performance when Maya was seen in the crowd at the Etihad to watch stuttering City draw 2-2 with Brighton earlier this month.
One supporter fumed on X: “Ruben Dias is way too distracted by Maya Jama. His game’s gone to s***.”
Another sneered: “Ruben Dias best performance this season was his first chat with Maya Jama.”
However Maya proved to be a good-luck charm on Sunday after flying out to watch Dias in Portugal’s Nations League quarter-final second-leg with Denmark.
She was in a hospitality box with a friend at the José Alvalade Stadium while Dias’ teammate Cristiano Ronaldo’s model girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez was sitting nearby.
There were fears her dating “curse” may continue when Dias gave the ball away for Denmark to score late on — which would have dumped Portugal out on aggregate.
But they grabbed a dramatic late goal before romping home in extra-time.
Maya and Ruben are then believed to have returned to the footballer’s home in the Cascais region of Lisbon.
They stayed up late into the night and she shared a photo on Instagram of herself sat next to a fire pit by a swimming pool at 3.30am.
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.
They spent New Year’s Eve together in Ibiza and last month they were seen wearing matching £5,000 Cartier bracelets emblazoned with the word “LOVE”.
At the Brit Awards earlier this month, it was also revealed Maya has started taking Portuguese lessons.
