Jama, a TV presenter on British reality show Love Island, dated the rapper from 2015 to 2019. The couple got back together a few weeks ago, as confirmed when photos surfaced of the two enjoying a holiday in Greece to celebrate Jama’s 29th birthday in late August.

Love life aside, Jama is hot property right now with British Vogue snapping her up as a cover girl for its August issue.

What’s more, Love Island’s host channel ITV just announced its plan to bring back familiar faces from previous seasons for Love Island All Stars, set to debut in 2024. It’s yet to confirm if Jama will also be presenting the season, per BBC, but fans are hopeful.

So what do we know about the 29-year-old beauty who’s (re)captured Stormzy’s heart?

Maya Jama’s background

Born in Bristol, UK, in 1994, Jama is half Swedish and half Somali, according to Metro.

Maya’s mum Sadie had her when she was 18, and Maya was named after the author and poet Maya Angelou, per Bristol Post. The mother-daughter duo are reportedly very close and often mistaken for sisters. “All my boyfriends and friends that were guys fancied her,” Maya told the Evening Standard.

She’s the host of Love Island

Jama is best known for hosting Love Island, one of Britain’s most popular reality TV dating shows. She joined the franchise in early 2023, hosting the show’s winter version in South Africa.

She began her career in television as a co-host for Jump Off TV, a YouTube channel that features rap-offs, and MTV’s The Wrap Up. She then started working with well-known awards shows in 2017 including the pre-Brit Awards Party, according to Capital FM.

Her jet-setting lifestyle

Jama travels the world for both business and pleasure. Besides embarking on a five-star Greek holiday with her beau Stormzy, where the resort they stayed at reportedly cost US$3,400 a night, Jama has also posted jet-setting snaps of her enjoying the sunshine in Ibiza, Italy, Mallorca and Cannes, looking fashion-ready in Paris and Milan, and partying in London and Las Vegas.

She was also spotted at Macau’s Wynn Palace earlier this year.

Her glamorous wardrobe

Jama flaunts some seriously glamorous fashion. The reality TV star gets dolled up in flattering ‘fits from knitted Balmain dresses and Prada logo crop tees, to Burberry bikinis, Alexander McQueen cut-out bodycons, Michael Kors jumpsuits and Balenciaga denim jackets.

A quick peep at her Instagram – and practically every photo of her online – suggests that Jama has an eye for daring looks, and isn’t afraid to experiment with barely there ensembles and fun silhouettes.

Jama has also been sought after by Dolce & Gabbana as its newly anointed campaign star, and was the face of Rimmel London. She’s modelled for Self-Portrait too.

She has a healthy routine – most of the time

The British TV bombshell follows a stringent routine when it comes to self-care, from fitness to skincare – but treats herself to the occasional McDonald’s, according to British Vogue.

Dancing is her workout of choice, but she says she also focuses on resistance and core training with some cardio. Jama also goes on occasional wellness retreats, like the one at the immersive Rakxa in Bangkok, Thailand.

Maya Jama and Stormzy have been described as the next Posh and Becks

Both parties are talented, work hard and are vocal about important causes, much like the Beckhams, making them a power couple in the making.

Jama previously dated NBA star Ben Simmons, and Drake once dropped her name in his song lyrics, though nothing suggests that they ever had any romantic ties, per Metro.
