Maya Jama and Stormzy, one of the most beloved couples in the entertainment industry, have announced their breakup after rekindling their relationship in August 2023. Here’s the full statement that will leave you stunned.

The Love Story
Maya Jama, the 29-year-old Love Island host, and Stormzy, the 30-year-old British rapper, first met in 2014 at an event in London. They began dating the following year and went public with their relationship in 2016. However, they broke up in 2019, only to reconcile in October 2023. Despite their best efforts to make it work, they have now decided to part ways.
The Breakup Statement
In a joint statement shared on their social media accounts, the couple expressed their gratitude for the time they spent together and their ongoing friendship. They wrote:
“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 Emotional Impact
The public reaction to their breakup has been one of sadness and disappointment. Relationship expert Dr. Louise Goddard-Crawley noted that the couple’s mature and respectful handling of their breakup resonated deeply with fans. The use of humor in their statement, such as “We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this,” might be a defense mechanism to cope with the emotional gravity of announcing their split.
The Timeline
Maya and Stormzy’s relationship has been marked by significant developmental stages. They first met at the ages of 21 and 20, respectively, and spent five years growing together before five years apart. Their final attempt at reconciliation required a lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. Despite their efforts, they have now decided to part ways.
The Future
The couple emphasized that they still think the absolute world of each other, still care and respect each other, and are still grateful for the time they’ve had together. They also confirmed that they will remain friends and will always be friends. They kindly asked for the grace to let both of them keep it moving and not be bothered about it.
