Rumours about Maya Jama and YouTuber King Kenny intensified after he was pictured leaving her North London flat following two nights there. Their representatives said a romance “is not on the cards” and that Kenny slept “on the sofa”, while a source told Closer the pair are close but have made nothing official.
The source described the relationship as casual, saying the two enjoy spending time together and are “giddy” around each other. Both, the source said, insist it is “casual fun”. Their representatives’ comments have not confirmed a romance.
The pair appeared on the second series of Celebrity Traitors, where viewers praised their gameplay and chemistry. Maya, 32, is now the host of Love Island UK and had an acting role in The Gentlemen this year. She began her career as a radio presenter in her late teens and moved into television two years later.
Her past relationships have often attracted public attention. She dated rapper Stormzy from 2015 to 2019; reports linked their split to cheating rumours, which he denied. After a brief engagement to NBA player Ben Simmons, she and Stormzy reunited, then split for good in 2024. Maya later dated Manchester City footballer Rúben Dias; they separated in 2025 after a year together. She has reportedly been single since. Kenny, 29, has kept his previous relationships private.
The source said Maya is wary of another high-profile relationship after dealing with heartbreak in public. People around her are also concerned that increased attention could distract from her career, the source added, saying she has received offers for more television work. Kenny’s friends, according to the source, have urged him to be mindful of her busy schedule and profile. The source said both are enjoying each other’s company, but suggested the timing may be difficult.
