Maya Jama makes dig at ex while discussing Love Island cheating drama

Maya Jama made a sly dig at an ex-boyfriend on Love Island spin-off show After Sun last night (July 2). The Bristolian presenter, 28, was discussing a recent cheating scandal on the dating show when she gave an insight into one of her own relationships.

During the episode, Maya was talking to guests Sam Thompson, Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan and former Islander Indiyah Polack about the recent drama in Casa Amor. They discussed Zach's reaction to Molly returning to the villa as he has been spotted kissing newcomer Kady McDermott.

As reported by The Mirror, while Sam defended Molly, Maya said: “That's real life though girls - and boys. They'll wear your necklace and lip someone else, we just don't get it on camera."

Maya's most high-profile relationship was with rapper Stormzy. The pair were together for around four years before the Vossi Bop singer admitted making a big mistake which led to their split.

He said to Louis Theroux in 2019 that his break-up with Maya was the “the biggest catalyst for growth as a man”. He said: “It was, like, ‘OK, you made a mistake and you lose someone you loved, someone you cared for, someone who is special to you’. That’s probably the biggest loss a man can have, isn’t it?”

Stormzy added: “There were other things in terms of mistakes I’d made. I didn’t do what a man should do to fully appreciate, love and care for his woman."

It was reported the couple had reunited in May. Maya was seen making regular visits to Stormzy's home.

A source told The Sun: “She visited him a couple of times before her recent holiday to Thailand and it sounds as though they’ve really clicked again."

Since her relationship with Stormzy came to an end, Maya has dated Australian basketball player Ben Simmons, and the couple reportedly got engaged last year. However, they sadly split in August, and Maya has since been linked to Hollywood lothario Leonardo DiCaprio, after they were seen partying together in Los Angeles and London.
