Maya Jama has spoken out after her £4 million Cheshire mansion, which she shares with Manchester City star Ruben Dias, was burgled. The property, located in the so-called Cheshire Golden Triangle, was targeted by a gang while the couple were away.
The TV presenter took to Instagram to thank supporters while requesting privacy. “Don’t even like saying anything at all when things happen because then it just becomes another news article, but thank you for all your kind messages, we are ok,” she wrote.
The burglary occurred on the evening of Wednesday 28 January, while Jama was in South Africa filming Love Island All Stars and Dias was playing in Manchester City’s Champions League match against Galatasaray. Dias returned home at around 11pm to discover the property had been ransacked and called 999.
Stolen items included jewellery, electronics and clothes. A source told The Sun: “They are devastated. The house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them. Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded.”
The 6,300 sq ft property features hi-tech security including a zoned alarm system, CCTV and electric gates. It also has a security detail that conducts random checks. Cheshire Police confirmed enquiries are ongoing.
