Maya Jama and Stormzy announce they have split AGAIN in lengthy bombshell statement

Love Island host Maya Jama and rapper Stormzy have announced they have split up again, in a lengthy joint statement. The couple, who have been on and off for 10 years, rekindled their romance last year after five years apart.

However, they have now announced it is all over between them, with Maya Jama and Stormzy both posting the same statement regarding their recent split.

It reads: “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.”

The statement continues: “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! Mike & M.”

The couple broke up in 2019, and in their time apart Maya Jama got engaged to Ben Simmons, before breaking that off. It was later revealed she and Stormzy were back together, after they were seen on holiday together.
