Jama was going to get married to the basketball star after he proposed in December, but their relationship seems to have broken down.
According to The Sun, Jama has made the hard decision to end their relationship and will not be going back to the United States.
She is likely heartbroken, which is understandable, but she has decided to focus on her career because she and he didn’t seem to have a future together.
With Simmons playing for the Brooklyn Nets, the two of them had to do a lot of traveling, which was no doubt hard on them.
That’s the hard truth about long-distance relationships, which rarely work out as they do in the movies, no matter how strong the feelings are.
Even though it’s sad, it’s hard to think that many men will be sad to hear that Maya Jama is single again…
Who is Maya Jama? Where did she come from?
Maya Jama is a host. She was born in Bristol, England, and grew up there. She was named after Maya Angelou, who was a well-known poet and civil rights, activist.
Maya is an advocate for mental health. She has said in the past, “I know at least five people who have been going through stuff for the last two years.”
She has said that she didn’t know much about mental health before, saying, “Before, I don’t think I really got it. I used to think, “If you’re sad, just be happy and do things that make you happy.” But then I realized that everyone has a different way of thinking.”
Maya uses her Instagram and Twitter accounts to encourage her followers to talk more openly and honestly about their mental health.

Ben Simmons
Maya is in a relationship with basketball player Ben Simmons, who was born in Australia. The two people met for the first time in May of this year. It is thought that they spend time in both London and Los Angeles.
Two months later, in July, they made it official when they were seen kissing in the stands at Wimbledon while watching a tennis match. Since then, it looks like the couple has been having a good time together.
Even though neither of them has posted a photo of the two of them on their Instagram grids, they have posted a few lovey-dovey photos to their Instagram Stories.
This year, they showed how much they missed each other when they weren’t together by sharing a screenshot of a FaceTime call in which Maya was in her own bed and Ben was smiling lovingly at her.

Drake
When Drake mentioned Maya in his verse on Headie One’s song “Only You” in 2020, it made people think they were dating. After this, it was said that Drake had gotten into the presenter’s direct messages while she was still with Stormzy, but she hadn’t replied to his messages.
When Drake’s song came out, Maya was said to be single, and it seems like she wanted to stay that way, even though an A-lister liked her. In fact, she told the Evening Standard at the time that she liked being by herself.
She said, “I forgot how much I loved just being in a house with a lot of my friends and eating, talking, and drinking.” “I thought, I kind of miss this. I’m having fun.”

Stormzy
Maya’s most famous relationship was with the British rapper Stormzy, whom she started dating in 2016. Even though their relationship seemed to be going well and people were calling them “couple goals” on social media, they broke up all of a sudden in 2019.

Rico Gordon
Before she became famous, Maya had a hard time when her then-boyfriend Rico Gordon was killed in a car accident. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she talked about what happened and how sad it made her.
“I went through a lot when I was 16. After my boyfriend died, I stopped being afraid of things. I thought that life was very short.”
She went on: “Out of all the things that have happened to me, that was a huge wake-up call. When you’re 16, the world seems like a fairy tale, but that changed for me. It made me even more determined.”
What is Maya Jama’s job? How did she start her work?
Maya remembered that when she was about 14 years old, the Skins crew came to her school to do a casting. She reportedly came very close to being on the popular E4 show, but she didn’t start trying to become a broadcaster until she was 16.
Maya told Metro, “When I was in school, I always wanted to act. Being an actress was my first dream, and I tried out for a lot of roles.”
In 2010, Maya moved from Bristol to London, where she started her own YouTube channel and got a job as a host for JumpOff TV.
Things didn’t slow down there, though, and she went on to host MTV Base’s “The Wrap Up” and then MTV Essentials and MTV News.
Then, Maya became a TV and radio host for 4Music and the drive time show on Rinse FM. She also hosted the documentary Swipe Right for Sex on Channel 5.
She has become very popular over the years, especially after hosting Maya’s FIFA World Cup Cities for Copa90 during the 2014 World Cup.
In 2018, Maya hosted Cannonball, a Saturday night show where contestants competed in crazy water-based challenges like trying to jump as high and as far as they could off of huge water slides while dressed up. The show was only on for one season before it was cancelled.
Last year, Maya became a host for DAZN Boxing. She also took over as the host of BBC Three’s Glow Up from Stacey Dooley. She was the host of Simon Cowell’s brand new talent show Walk The Line in December 2021.
In the past few years, Maya has worked with fashion brands like Adidas and Kurt Geiger. She has also started her own line of skin care products.
