Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Maya Jama and Stormzy announce split

Caption: Maya Jama and Stormzy announce split. The TV presenter and rapper announced on their Instagram Stories on Wednesday that they had parted ways once again after almost a year back together. ”We've been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we'd be the couple announcing a breakup, 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.” Maya, 29, and Stormzy, 30, first dated for five years between 2014 and 2019. After living separate lives for five years, they got back together in August 2023. ”We've spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.” “We 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. We tried, and it didn't work, and that's okay.” The stars insisted they "will always be friends" following the amicable split and urged the public not to make "a fuss" if they're pictured hanging out together in the future. ”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).” "Love you guys and thank you for all the love you've showered us with, it's been beautiful!”. The split comes shortly after Maya and Stormzy were pictured hand-in-hand at the British Grand Prix, where the Vossi Bop hitmaker performed, on 7 July.
