Maya Jama and Stormzy have announced their split.

The couple took to their social media on Wednesday (17 July) to reveal they had parted ways after giving their relationship another go.

Posting on Instagram, the statement - which was signed off by both Maya and Stormzy - reads: "Hey guys, we've been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we'd be the couple announcing a breakup, but for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that's needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.

"We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart.

"We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we've spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.

"We were 21 and 20 when we first met-both at the beginning of our careers-and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning.

"We tried, and it didn't work, and that's okay."

The statement explained that while the pair 'still think the world of each other' they are moving forward as friends.

They also warned fans about 'causing a fuss' if they're spotted out and about as friends.

"We still think the absolute world of each other, we still care and respect each other, we are still grateful for the time we've had together, and we are still friends and will always be friends (so if you see us having a lil catch-up at The Brits or something, don't cause a fuss, we are dawgs!)," it continued.

"Announcing this feels so dramatic, but we're doing it so that it kind of takes away the drama and avoids speculation and rumours.

"We're kindly asking for the grace to let both of us keep it moving and not be bothered about it (we highly doubt this'll work, but we're still kindly asking anyway)."

The duo previously dated for four years before eventually splitting up in 2019.

After the pair parted ways the first time, fans were hoping they would rekindle their relationship.

So when they were pictured holding hands on holiday together last summer - the whole of the internet went into a frenzy.

The couple concluded their statement: ‘Love you guys and thank you for all the love you’ve showered us with, it’s been beautiful! Mike & MJ x.’
