Maya Jama has reportedly split from her fiancé Ben Simmons after a whirlwind romance and six month engagement.

The Sun on Sunday reports that “things came to a head last month” with a source saying that their split is “heart-breaking” for both of them.
Despite the pair being “so committed to each other”, the source says that the reasoning behind their split said to be because they are both “young” and wanting to “focus on their careers”.
This came after Maya was reportedly seen without her engagement ring this week.
Reports began swirling that the couple were engaged in January when it was claimed that Ben, 26, proposed to Maya, 27, over the Christmas period in 2021.

The engagement came after the Brit Awards star spent Christmas at the Ben’s £3.7 million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey.
In February Maya could be seen sporting the huge rock that Ben proposed with, that was allegedly worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
It is estimated that her engagement ring was worth around £700,000, after multiple news outlets reported it.

Flashing the rock at the Brit Awards, Maya appeared upbeat and in love – but now it seems the romance was short-lived as the couple have allegedly decided to part ways.
Maya and Ben’s break up comes a day after Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson called it quits on their whirlwind romance – proving this month to be grim in the world of showbiz romances already.
Prior to Maya’s engagement to Ben, Maya was dating Grime artist and rapper Stormzy.
Maya and Stormzy broke off their four year relationship in August 2019 – which left fans in a state of shock when it was announced.
