Television presenter Maya Jama showcased a gold bikini while striking a pose on top of a bar during a birthday trip to Ibiza with her closest friends and family.
The 32-year-old star celebrated her birthday last month in a lavish villa on the Spanish Mediterranean party island, capturing the getaway for a new YouTube video.
Larking around in the video, titled Ibiza, My Birthday & My Besties: Unfiltered | Maya Jama, the presenter strutted around wearing trendy black sunglasses before climbing onto the bar in her barely-there swimwear.
"Hello MTV, welcome to my crib. Come on in!" Jama told the camera as she toured the rental property.
Writing on her YouTube page, Jama explained that traveling to the island has become a regular summer tradition for her circle. "My Ibiza birthday trip! Every year I spend my birthday in Ibiza with my closest friends & family," she wrote. "And this time I'm bringing you along with me for the chaos! See you in the next one."
Jama is best known to British television audiences as the host of the ITV reality dating competition Love Island, having taken over presentation duties for the popular series in 2023. Ibiza, an island in the Balearic archipelago off the eastern coast of Spain, is globally renowned for its summer nightlife, beach resorts and luxury holiday retreats.
Relationship Split and Views on Gentlemen
The getaway comes after Jama split from her boyfriend, Manchester City defender Ruben, in May following 18 months of dating. The separation occurred just four months after the couple moved in together at their shared home in Cheshire.
Following the split, both Jama and Ruben wiped all traces of each other from their social media profiles. Sources shared that the pair decided to end their relationship after realizing it had run its course, with both individuals focusing on busy periods in their respective careers.
Ruben plays as a professional centre-back for Premier League champions Manchester City and the Portugal national team, while Cheshire is a ceremonial county in North West England known for housing prominent sports personalities and media figures.
During promotional interviews for her new television project, Jama was asked what the concept of a gentleman means to her. Jama mused: "What is a gentleman nowadays? I don't know because I suppose the first thing that comes into your mind is like someone that opens the door and is polite and says pleases and thank yous."
She continued: "But now, I suppose it's just a decent, well-mannered man that has their stuff under control, but knows how to treat a woman and their family and everybody in their life. And wears a nice suit most of the time."
Acting Debut on Netflix Drama
Jama has recently been celebrating the release of her new television series after making her acting debut in season two of Guy Ritchie's crime drama The Gentlemen. The series has scored the number one spot on Netflix.
The presenter looked stylish for the red carpet premiere last week, arriving in a custom daringly cut leather gown created by R&M leathers and styled by fashion stylist Rhea Francois. Jama brought a sprinkle of gangster glamour to the event as she celebrated her first major red carpet appearance as an actress.
Filmmaker Guy Ritchie created the television series as a spin-off set in the world of his 2019 feature film of the same name. Netflix is a global subscription video streaming service operating in over 190 countries.
In the series, Jama portrays a character named Aisha. The character appears early in episode one, walking up the driveway of Halstead Manor, the ancestral estate inherited by lead protagonist Eddie Horniman, played by actor Theo James.
Before Aisha speaks for the first time on screen, the character Susie gives Eddie background details on her old friend, describing Aisha as a "clever girl who looks after herself and others."
According to the plot, Aisha moved to the Middle East for employment and subsequently gained entry into an elite royal circle. She arrives at a shooting weekend alongside Prince Amir, introducing him to Eddie and Susie as a valuable business connection who could provide commercial opportunities for the estate.
