They were one of the nation’s favourite celebrity couples when Maya Jama and Stormzy dated four years ago and now it seems as though their romance is back on. There’s been weeks of speculation about the two getting close once again and photos published by The Daily Mail on 27 August appeared to confirm their relationship status. The “Love Island” presenter and grime star were pictured holidaying together in Hydra Island in Greece, strolling down the street holding hands.
Jama, who has become known for her incredible “Love Island” outfits, was snapped wearing a straw hat, black triangle bikini top, and white midi skirt, while Stormzy wore a white vest, shorts, and trainers. Fans took to social media to express their excitement at the reconciliation. One tweet read, “I shouldn’t be this happy that Maya Jama and Stormzy are back together”, while another added, “Invested in the Stormzy/Maya Jama reunion as if I know them personally”.
Rumours had ramped up after Jama was spotted at Stormzy’s All Points East show in August and, while neither have officially addressed their reunion, these latest photos appear to suggest they are back on track. POPSUGAR reached out to reps for Jama and Stormzy but did not immediately receive a response.
The pair previously dated for four years before splitting up in 2019. Stormzy previously spoke to Louis Theroux, saying that their breakup was his “biggest catalyst for growth as a man”. He also opened up to Charlamagne the God in his YouTube series in 2020, admitting that he “never loved anyone how I’ve loved her”.
In July 2021, Jama was in a relationship with American basketball player Ben Simmons, and the pair got engaged in early 2022. But the pair struggled to make the long-distance work and they split in August 2022. Jama was briefly linked to Leonardo DiCaprio after they were spotted leaving the same Parisian club earlier this year, but Jama denied the gossip.
As Jama and Stormzy’s careers continue to rise, here’s hoping the British pair can make it work this time around.
