Love Island’s Maya Jama ‘demanded to return 800k engagement ring’ by ex-fiancé Ben Simmons | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Maya Jama, 28, has been taking over our screens in recent weeks as she made her debut presenting on Love Island. However, it has been reported that the ITV presenter’s ex-fiancé Ben Simmons, 26, has demanded the return of the £800,000 engagement ring he proposed with last year.

Maya and Ben enjoyed a whirlwind romance but split last year reportedly so they could both focus on their careers.

Ben proposed to Maya over Christmas in 2021 following a seven-month romance, with Maya also spending the festive period with her partner’s family in New Jersey.

However, despite not appearing to end on bad terms, Ben has asked for the engagement ring back he proposed with.

A source told The Sun: “Given Ben has never, until now, asked for the ring back, you can appreciate the letter came somewhat as a surprise to Maya.

The couple were then confirmed when they were pictured kissing in the stands at Wimbledon the following month.

Ben previously dated Kendall Jenner, 26, but the pair called things off in May 2019 after months of dating on and off.

Maya, meanwhile, dated rapper Stormzy for four years, with the pair splitting the same year.

Stormzy has since made his feelings public about their split through his music, with his hit Lessons being about their heartbreaking split.
