Family and Relationships
Maya Jama was born to Hussein Jama and Sadie Jama.
She has one sibling, his name is Omar Jama.
Her mother, Sadie, was 19 when she gave birth to Jama, and she named her after the US author and poet Maya Angelou.
Jama’s father was in prison for most of her childhood, for violence-related crimes such as pub brawls and fights. Aged 12, she decided to stop visiting her father in prison and for a decade blocked him from her thoughts.
She said in a 2017 interview with The Guardian that she didn’t really notice it being a problem: “It was normal for me. My dad’s side of my family was super-supportive and they did everything in their power to make me and my brother not feel like we were missing out on anything”.
While working on the documentary When Dads Kill in 2017, which dealt with young people’s experiences similar to her own childhood, she relented and examined her relationship with her own father, by then released from prison, meeting with him in an attempt to elicit answers directly from him; “nothing he said, and nothing his family told her, gave her any real insights” into why he had ended up in prison.
Jama remains close to her mother and occasionally the two appear on talk shows together and attend private celebrity events.
Between 2015 and 2019, Jama was in a relationship with British rapper Stormzy; their break-up inspired his 2019 song “Lessons”.
In 2021, it was reported Jama was dating NBA player Ben Simmons.
In August 2022, the couple reportedly ended their engagement.
