Yes, Maya Jama and YouTuber Chunkz had a date. The pair built up a rapport during 2020 Soccer Aid. But the TV presenter said the pair would only ever be BFFs. Chunkz managed to work his charm and persuaded her to give him a chance according to Maya. Though it was touch and go for a while.
The English television, and radio presenter, comedian, and DJ Maya Jama was born and raised in Bristol on August 14, 1994, where she attended Cotham School.
