Love Island host Maya Jama opened up about her recent breakup in a candid chat with a fan in her Instagram DMs.
The 28-year-old shared the sweet exchange on her Stories so that all the fans she couldn’t respond to could see the wise advice she relayed to the lucky fan.
The fan had messaged her, asking: “I’ve always admired you! And how you pick up the pieces and move on and upward, I just woke up from an anxiety attack.

Maya then replied, explaining that “life’s too short” to be in “situations” that “don’t make you feel good inside”.
“Sending all the love,” she started. “I’ve always felt life is way too short to spend in situations that don’t make you feel good inside, there’s power in choosing yourself.”
Maya advised the fan to “see it as a blessing” that their partner is no longer in their lif.

“As soon as you realise you are more than enough with or without someone it becomes simpler,” she added.
“Also try to see it as a blessing they removed themselves from your life now there’s room for someone who appreciates you and don’t accept anyone who doesn’t.”
Maya’s advice comes after her own breakup from ex-fiancee Ben Simmons in September last year after a “difficult time” over their conflicting schedules.

A source told The Sun that the pair were from “different worlds” and the long distance was no longer working for the couple.
“It’s been a difficult time for them,” the source revealed. “While they both care for each other so much, they truly gave it their all and realise that they just come from two different worlds.
“They had no idea the challenges they would face when handling all the logistics of making a life together in two countries.”
