As Love Island drew to a close after announcing the winners of the ITV2 show, all the attention should have been on Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan.
But when host Maya Jama came across her ex-boyfriend Stormzy’s pal Omar Nyame, their exchange became a major talking point on social media. Dressed to impress in a flattering black dress during the show’s final, Maya approached Omar who was sitting in the audience. At first glance, the pair’s banter appeared to be natural and easy-going. But on closer inspection, fans felt that it seemed “awkward.” Maya, 29, and the UK rapper decided to call it quits for the second time earlier this month, a year after revealing they had reunited in August 2023 while on holiday in Greece.

He replied: “Do you know what, at the end of the day my body’s good so I gotta show it.” And fans could not wait to unpick their exchange. One person wrote: “Ik that was awkward for Maya and Omar LOL.” Another added: “Not Maya talking to Omar her ex-boyfriend’s friend [laughter emoji].”
A third fan chimed in: “Do you think it’s awks between Omar and Maya?” However, while most felt the awkwardness was palpable, others praised Maya for her professionalism. One viewer penned: “Omar and Maya acting like he’s not besties w/ her ex. true professionalism.”
On July 17, the presenter revealed that her relationship with Stormzy had ended, admitting they had spent the year trying to “make it work.” The couple had been together for five years before they first called it quits in 2019. Their split shocked fans, as a week before the announcement, they had appeared united at The British Grand Prix, where Stormzy performed.
And again, in Glastonbury of that year, they seemed loved up and she had also shown support for his latest business venture, a bar in Soho. In August last year, speculation hit new heights after they were spotted together at All Points East festival in east London, during the bank holiday.

The following week, fans noticed they had the same background in their holiday pictures, despite posting the snaps separately, while on holiday in Greece. But it was when paparazzi captured them holding hands, that the reunion was unofficially confirmed.
During October of that year, Maya confirmed rumours after she posted an Instagram story of the rapper picking her up from the airport after Love Island filming had wrapped. And the following month, they made a glamorous appearance together when they attended British Vogue’s Forces for Change party.
