Wild speculation was a thing of the past on Sunday when Maya Jama confirmed her relationship with grime star Stormzy is back four years after their initial split.
Hand in hand, the two ventured to the island of Hydra in Greece – their first public appearance together since rumors of a romantic reconciliation surfaced more than a week ago.
Love Island presenter Maya, 29, stood out in a black bikini top and floaty white summer skirt as she walked alongside the Croydon-born rapper, whose real name is Michael Omari Owuo Jr.
The TV personality completed her look with a wide-brimmed hat as the pair made their way to a nearby jetty, where they boarded a small boat.
Stormzy, 30, joined his girlfriend in a white vest and matching shorts as temperatures soared on the picturesque Greek island.

It was also claimed that Stormzy’s mother, Abigail Owuo, was the matchmaker who “motivated him to reconcile with Maya.”
A source told The Sun: “Stormzy is really open about the fact that one day he wants to settle down and have kids and he knows Maya is ‘the one’.
The couple are believed to be enjoying the sun in a £2,700-a-night Greek villa as a “late birthday present” for the Love Island host.
There has been much speculation as to whether Maya and Stormzy were reunited after she was spotted at his All Points East show last weekend.
The couple dated for four years before parting ways in 2019, with the rapper publicly declaring he “never loved anyone like I loved her.”
He has always denied any infidelity in the relationship but admitted he learned some hard lessons from his behavior, describing it as “disrespectful”.
Speaking to Louis Theroux in his interview series, the rapper admitted to making mistakes during their four-year relationship but revealed he’s grown since then.
He explained, “My breakup was probably the biggest catalyst for development as a man.” It was like making a mistake and losing someone you loved, someone you cared about, someone you cared about is something special.

“It’s probably the greatest loss a man can have, isn’t it?” “When someone dies, that’s the greatest loss one can have.”
It’s not the first time Stormzy has opened up about his relationship with Maya, after declaring he still loves her “with all his heart” and wants to marry and have children with his ex-girlfriend in the future.
In 2020, he admitted in a YouTube interview with Charlamagne tha God that he “never loved anyone like I loved her.”
This comes after observant fans spotted further evidence that the two were vacationing together.
A fan shared a video on TikTok on Friday after noticing that the rapper appeared to be hanging out at the same pool location as Maya.
Stormzy had shared a montage of clips including one of him swimming and when the camera panned towards the sunset some trees could be seen in the background.
Meanwhile, Maya also posted an update where fans noticed the same infinity pool and trees in her post.
