Maya Jama calls off engagement with Ben Simmons after a year claim sources
When NBA player Ben Simmons proposed during the holiday season in December 2021, former BBC Radio 1 personality Maya Jama replied “yes” and became engaged. The basketball player, 26, is based in the United States, so Maya, 27, moved there right away. Since then, she has alternated between living there and in the UK. Maya Jama recently traveled back to the UK to attend the GRM Gala, where she was spotted wearing her sizable diamond engagement ring. However, according to reports, the couple’s frenzied year-long affair has come to an end. She won’t be returning to New York at this time. The insider source continued: Given how devoted they were to one another, it’s terrible for them both.
With employment offers flowing in from all around the world, Maya feels optimistic about the future. She has been regularly going to the gym and hanging out with her close pals, they continued, according to The Sun on Sunday. In a recent Instagram story over the weekend, Maya was spotted with a ring on her left hand, but it didn’t seem to be the engagement ring Simmons had given her. In July 2021, the couple announced their relationship to the world when they were captured kissing in the Wimbledon stands. When the couple was seen out on a date at SexyFish in the heart of London, romantic rumors about them began to circulate weeks before. In December 2021, a source revealed that the two had been engaged since Ben’s sweet Christmas proposal.
When comedian Mo Gilligan questioned Maya about the proposal while the two of them were hosting the Brit Awards in February 2022, she declined to comment on the relationship or the engagement. Maya recently joined a host of other celebs at the annual GRM Gala at Kensington Palace, where she posed for pictures on the red carpet wearing her engagement ring. Maya had previously dated Stormzy. and Ben dated Kendall Jenner prior to falling in love with Maya.
