At the time they confirmed the breakup was 'final' after previously going their separate ways following a five year relationship in 2019 and reconnecting in August 2023. And in a new interview, when asked if they'd ever get back together, Maya - who's reportedly secretly dating Man City player Ruben Dias - insisted that this truly is the end for her and Stormzy (real name Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr).

She told The Guardian: 'No, I think we’re happy in this friendship zone.'. Commenting on the attention their romance attracted, Maya explained: 'I think it’s nice that people love him for being cute and love me for being cute, and when two people you like come together then people get excited by it. That’s just what happens in the celebrity world, don’t you think?'.
