Maya Jama has been forced to quash whispers of a spat with one of her besties after they rocked up on Love Island Aftersun.
Ex-Rizzle Kicks heartthrob Jordan Stephens, 33, Jade Thirlwall’s other half, dropped by Aftersun this week to spill the tea on the 2024 Love Island hopefuls. Known for his no-filter takes, Jordan didn’t hold back as he laid into Joey Essex and cast doubt on the authenticity of some islander romances, calling out their ‘fake’ love stories.
While telly addicts lapped up Jordan’s juicy insights, some clocked that host Maya, 29, seemed a tad ‘stressed’ or uneasy as Jordan unleashed his views on the show. Fans flocked to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to air their observations.

“For those that don’t know, Jordan is one of my best friends. Some of you think I’m stressed by his comments on Aftersun, but I love it, I’m just trying to be professional,” Maya wrote alongside the snap.
It comes after fans were left convinced that Maya got engaged to her rapper boyfriend, Stormzy. Last week, Maya posted a series of loving photos on social media.
In one picture, she was seen standing side by side with the rapper in a black and white snap looking loved up. She captioned the post: “LVovers Thank you for having us @louisvuitton @pharrell.”

And in another, there is a video of the pair, in black and white, kissing and looking playful. Despite being invited by designer brand Louis Vuitton, it looked as though the little package on the table was enough to make fans feel as though the pair had sealed the deal – in the shape of an engagement.
One fan wrote: “For a second I thought the first pic was giving engagement.” Another said: “Telling my kids this was the king and queen of the UK Meanwhile a fourth added: “4th slide is giving mum and dad. ” And a fifth said: “We need more of this content please.”
In August last year, Maya announced she rekindled her relationship with Stormzy, four years after their first split. Stormzy opened up about his split with Maya Jama in a candid chat with Louis Theroux, stating: “My break-up, that was probably the biggest catalyst for growth as a man. It was like, OK, you made a mistake and you lose someone you loved, someone you cared for, someone who is special to you. That’s probably the biggest loss a man can have, isn’t it? Away from someone passing away, that’s the biggest loss you can have.”
