Maya Jama has reportedly split from her basketball player fiancé Ben Simmons just eight months after confirming their engagement.
The 28-year-old TV presenter and her NBA star partner Ben, 26, are said to have struggled with the challenge of a long-distance relationship, as Maya lives in London while Ben is based in Brooklyn. The couple’s busy work schedules were also reportedly a factor in their split, as a source told the New York Post their arrangements made the relationship “impossible to work.”
The source said: “While they both care for each other so much, they truly gave it their all and realize they just come from two different worlds. They now understand they don’t have the time they thought to dedicate to this relationship.”
