Love Island host Maya Jama has taken to social media to share she has split with popular rapper, Stormzy. The pair reunited in 2023, after rumours of infidelity saw them split in 2019.
Now, Maya has shared a glimpse into their relationship in a candid post and revealed they have gone their separate ways.
Maya, 29, shared the news in hopes that doing so will avoid “speculation and rumours”.
Maya Jama and Stormzy split
TV favourite Maya penned a lengthy message to social media detailing her split with Stormzy. She wrote: “Hey guys, we’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup. But for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.
“We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart. We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits. We were 21 and 20 when we first met – both at the beginning of our careers – and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.
“We still think the absolute world of each other, we still care and respect each other, we are still grateful for the time we’ve had together, and we are still friends and will always be friends (so if you see us having a lil catch-up at The Brits or something, don’t cause a fuss, we are dawgs!).

“Announcing this feels so dramatic, but we’re doing it so that it kind of takes away the drama and avoids speculation and rumours. We’re kindly asking for the grace to let both of us keep it moving and not be bothered about it (we highly doubt this’ll work, but we’re still kindly asking anyway).
“Love you guys and thank you for all the love you’ve showered us with, it’s been beautiful!”
After meeting in 2014, the pair appeared to get serious fast. Stormzy said at the time: “”
