Fans wail as media personality Maya Jama and rapper Stormzy announces the end of their relationship.
They’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because they never, ever, in a million years thought they’d be the couple announcing a breakup, but for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow them the space and grace that’s needed for them both to be able to navigate this next bit of their lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.
They fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart. They decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and they’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, they recently decided to call it quits. They were 21 and 20 when we first met-both at the beginning of our careers-and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. They tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.
They still think the absolute world of each other, they still care and respect each other, they are still grateful for the time they’ve had together, and they are still friends and will always be friends (so if you see us having a lil catch-up at The Brits or something, don’t cause a fuss, they are dawgs!).
Announcing this feels so dramatic, but they’re doing it so that it kind of takes away the drama and avoids speculation and rumours. They’re kindly asking for the grace to let both of them keep it moving and not be bothered about it (they highly doubt this’ll work, but they’re still kindly asking anyway).
Love you guys and thank you for all the love you’ve showered them with, it’s been beautiful!
