Tread carefully Maya Jama – you need eyes in the back of your head dating a footballer & there’s a fact you must know

WATCH out! There's a new Wag in town, and given her beauty, brains and hugely successful TV career, there's no doubt Love Island host Maya Jama is set to send shockwaves through the football world. And whilst TV presenter Maya, 30, might be bubbling over with excitement at her new romance with Manchester City centre-back Ruben Dias, I have some straight talking advice: tread with care and trepidation.

The footballer, 27, recently shared a loved up snap of them together, and she's a beautiful girl, intelligent and at the pinnacle of her career, the world is her oyster. But for footballers, the world revolves around one thing: football- and certainly not their partners.

It has to be this way, their careers are so short. Maya has been vocal about her next suitor needing to be marriage material. She revealed in one interview: “The next person I meet I want to marry and have kids with, so obviously I’m feeling fussy.”.

If this is true, she needs to be so careful if that future husband is a pro footballer. From the age of seven, if not younger, these sportsmen are told they're wonderful, they're invincible, and everything is done for them. But in Maya’s case you've got two people with very big careers and for a relationship to work both will need to give in a little bit - and it certainly won't be the footballer.
