Stormzy spotted kissing US singer Victoria Monet – three months after split with Maya Jama
STORMZY has been seen kissing American singer Victoria Monet – just three months after his split from Maya Jama.
The rapper, real name Michael Owuo, was also photographed hugging the American singer at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Our exclusive pictures show Stormzy, 31, and Victoria, 35, on Thursday evening.
The 6ft 5in star grinned as he gave Victoria a hug before kissing her on the lips.
An onlooker said: “Both Stormzy and Victoria looked absolutely smitten with each other.
“They kissed and when he hugged her he picked her up in the air.
“It seems like he is in a great place after his split from Maya.
Grammy Award-winning R&B star Victoria announced last month that she had split from her fitness instructor boyfriend John Gaines in late 2023.
The pair share three-year-old daughter Hazel – who, aged two, became the youngest-ever Grammy nominee last year for Best Traditional R&B Performance after featuring in Victoria’s song Hollywood.
In 2018, Victoria came out as bisexual – and she said in an interview last week it “feels amazing” to be one of a number of female singers being open about their sexuality.
She added: “I’m definitely willing to put my business out there and make it known, so people feel like there is representation for them.”
Stormzy, real name Michael Owuo, and Love Island host Maya, 30, announced they had split for good in July – having first started dating in 2014.
They broke up five years later before rekindling their romance last year.
But the pair revealed their final break-up in a joint statement this summer – with sources telling The Sun at the time that Maya insisted she was not ready to settle down.
In their statement, posted on Instagram, Stormzy and Maya said they “spent five years manoeuvring life apart” after their initial split.
They said they had “tried their best” to make it work the second time around, but made the decision to go their separate ways.
But they added: “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.”
A source previously told us: “They ultimately broke up so they wouldn’t waste each other’s time.
“They are at totally different places in their lives.”
Stormzy and Maya’s split came weeks after they were snapped partying together at Glastonbury.
