Stormzy and Maya Jama say they are splitting up in a joint Instagram post.
The rapper Stormzy and the Love Island host Maya Jama shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about their breakup. The couple said that they had been trying to make their relationship work since they got back together last year, but in the end they chose to break up.
They were honest when they wrote, “We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.” The first part of the statement was funny, reflecting on their strange situation: “We’ve been laughing while writing this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup.”

They said, “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.” The couple talked about their journey and said they fell “madly in love in 2014” before breaking up for the first time five years later.
It had been five years since Stormzy and Maya were together, but in August 2023, they agreed to try again. “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,” they shared. They admitted that their new attempt was hard, saying, “We were 21 and 20 when we met, just starting out in our careers. We grew together for five years and then grew apart for five years, so this last attempt required a lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning.”
Even though they broke up, they stressed how much they still respected and cared for each other as friends. It was asked that people understand, especially when they see each other at events like The Brit Awards. “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,” they said.
