In a joint statement released on Wednesday 17th July 2024, Love Island host Maya Jama and rapper Stormzy announced that they had split for a second time.

Their reason for breaking up was simply that things didn't work out but they assured fans that they are choosing to remain friends.

In their statement they said: "We're kindly asking for the grace to let both of us keep it moving and not be bothered about it (we highly doubt this'll work, but we're still kindly asking anyway)."

On her Instagram story Maya complained about the humidity of Mallorca, where Love Island is filmed, ruining her hair, before adding: "...And also you cheeky little cameramen that are hiding down road, please leave me alone.

"Please I just want to have a nice time," she said giggling with her friend off camera.

Of course Maya and Stormzy have had a super public relationship after meeting ten years ago in 2014 and that's why they released their break up statement to the world.

When they were first spotted together again after they reunited last year fans literally went feral with excitement.

The former couple broke up for the first time after five years in 2019 before rekindling their romance last summer, August 2023.

However less than a year on they have broken up for the second time, this time ending on better terms and choosing to stay friends.

They said: "We 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, we are dawgs!)."
