But this weekend marked their first public appearance together since the rumours surfaced more than a week ago.

With another penning: ‘I feel like the reason we’re all supporting stormzy and maya reconnecting is the fact he has been so public with his accountability, like he really owned his s**t, grafted, he knew what he wanted and he went for it’.
Speaking to Louis Theroux last year, the rapper admitted to making mistakes during their four year relationship that forced him to grow and described their breakup as ‘the biggest loss a man can have’.
Stormzy explained: ‘My break-up, that was probably the biggest catalyst for growth as a man. It was like, OK, you made a mistake and you lose someone you loved, someone you cared for, someone who is special to you.
‘That’s probably the biggest loss a man can have, isn’t it? Away from someone passing away, that’s the biggest loss you can have.’
Stormzy went on to hint at mistake that he made during his four year relationship with Maya, adding that he never wished to feel that way again.
He admitted: ‘I didn’t do what a man should do to fully appreciate love, and care for his woman.’
In 2020, Stormzy also admitted he has ‘never loved anyone how I’ve loved her’ in a YouTube interview with Charlamagne tha God, adding that he wants to marry and have children with Maya.

But then in May sources claimed that she had been secretly meeting up with Stormzy at his house.
A source told The Sun: ‘The truth is she’s actually back in regular contact with Stormzy and has been heading to his house to meet up away from the spotlight.
‘She visited him a couple of times before her recent holiday to Thailand and it sounds as though they’ve really clicked again.
‘The connection never went away. They’re both keen to tiptoe around it a bit rather than throw themselves into anything public but they’re enjoying being close again.’
