The Love Island host sent fans into overdrive after two social media moves sparked fresh speculation about her famous ex

Maya Jama has shut down rumours that she and Stormzy are back together after fans spotted two clues on social media.

The speculation began after Maya shared a video of herself listening and singing along to Stormzy’s track One Second.

Fans then noticed that the Love Island host appeared to be following Stormzy on Instagram again.

Given the former couple have already reunited once before, it didn’t take long for people to wonder whether another reconciliation could be happening.

Maya has now given a clear answer.

Are Maya Jama and Stormzy back together?

No. Maya Jama says she and Stormzy are not back together.

After reunion theories began spreading on 24 September 2026, Maya responded publicly and explained that she simply likes Stormzy’s song.

She also revealed that the former couple have remained friends despite their romantic relationship ending.

Responding to the speculation, Maya wrote that “no one is back together” and urged fans to “rest with the theories”, according to LADbible’s report of her response.

So while Maya and Stormzy may be on friendly terms, Maya has explicitly denied that they have rekindled their romance.

What sparked the Maya Jama and Stormzy reunion rumours?

Two social media clues appear to have started the speculation.

The first was a video Maya posted from inside a car.

In the clip, she could be seen listening and miming along to Stormzy’s song One Second.

On its own, enjoying a song by an ex probably wouldn’t prove very much.

Then fans spotted something else.

Maya appeared to have followed Stormzy again on Instagram after previously unfollowing him following their second break-up.

The combination of the Instagram follow and Maya publicly enjoying Stormzy’s music was enough to send fans into detective mode.

But Maya’s explanation is considerably simpler.

She likes the song, and she and Stormzy are still friends.

What did Maya Jama say about Stormzy?

Maya’s response is significant because she didn’t just deny a romantic reunion.

She also clarified her current relationship with Stormzy.

The presenter said the pair have “always been friends”, despite their complicated romantic history.

That provides important context for the Instagram activity that initially caused so much speculation.

Following an ex again might look significant from the outside, particularly when that former relationship was as public as Maya and Stormzy’s.

But according to Maya herself, it isn’t evidence that they’re dating again.

And this isn’t the first time fans have wondered whether the pair could reconcile.

When did Maya Jama and Stormzy split?

Maya Jama and Stormzy most recently split in July 2024 after giving their relationship another chance.

The pair originally became a couple when they were in their early twenties before separating in 2019.

Four years later, photographs of Maya and Stormzy together on holiday sparked speculation that they had reconciled.

That time, the rumours turned out to be correct.

They reunited in 2023 and spent around a year trying to make their relationship work again.

But in July 2024, Maya and Stormzy announced that they had separated for a second time.

In their joint statement announcing the split, they explained that they had decided to try again in August 2023 but ultimately concluded that the relationship wasn’t working.

They also made clear that they still cared for and respected one another.

That history helps explain why the latest Instagram activity generated so much attention.

Fans have seen a Maya Jama and Stormzy reunion happen before.

Why did fans think Maya Jama and Stormzy could reunite again?

There is another piece of context behind the timing.

Maya’s most recent relationship was with Manchester City and Portugal footballer Rúben Dias.

The couple ended their relationship earlier in 2026 after around 18 months together.

Maya subsequently addressed the split publicly, saying that she loves “loudly or not at all”, while Dias separately denied suggestions that cheating had been involved. Their separation was confirmed earlier this year.

With Maya single again, fans were naturally more interested when Stormzy suddenly appeared back in her social media activity.

Add in the fact that Maya was listening to his music and appeared to have followed him again, and another round of reunion speculation was almost inevitable.

But speculation is all it was.

Maya Jama has given a clear answer on the Stormzy rumours

For anyone wondering whether Maya Jama and Stormzy have reunited, Maya’s answer leaves little room for interpretation.

They are not back together.

Maya says she likes Stormzy’s music and that the pair have remained friends.

That means the two supposed clues that started the latest rumours do have an explanation, just not the romantic one some fans were hoping for.

Of course, Maya and Stormzy’s history means people are unlikely to stop speculating about them entirely.

They dated, separated, spent years apart and then surprised everyone by giving their relationship another chance.

But this time Maya has addressed the theories almost immediately.

For now, there’s friendship, an Instagram follow and apparently still some appreciation for Stormzy’s music.

There isn’t a third reunion.
