Maya Jama Dog
Maya Jama gets a pet dog with boyfriend Stormzy
Maya Jama and Stomzy have got a pet dog.
The 24-year-old presenter revealed that she and her 25-year-old rapper boyfriend recently welcomed a mutt mate into their home who they have called Enzo and the pair love walking their pet around the London area where they live.
Maya said: “We’ve got a dog now, Enzo, it’s nice to have places to walk. I’ve always loved this city.”
The BBC Radio 1 DJ has been dating the grime artist for three years after the pair met at Red Bull Culture Clash in 2016.
Although the couple is focused on their life together now, Maya can’t help but let her mind wander to the future and she has even thought about what she wants to happen when she dies.
The broadcaster would rather be cremated than buried, however, she isn’t keen on the idea of being of her ashes being scattered in a river and would prefer to have her remains end up in a car.
Speaking to ES Magazine, she said: “I’d like to be cremated, but I wouldn’t want to be thrown in the Thames. Maybe in a park – then they could put tree seeds in with me, so I could grow through a tree. I like that idea.”
The ‘Circle’ host also spilled that she likes to work out in her garden with her personal trainer, but admitted that before she had a trainer and her own garden, she used to run in parks as she prefers to exercise outdoors.
She said: “I’m super lucky, because I’ve got a personal trainer, so I train mostly in my garden. But even before I had a trainer or a garden, it would be in the parks. I find no one watches you outside, whereas in the gym everyone’s staring.”

Maya Jama Podcast
‘Women must stick together and shout’: Maya Jama opens up on her all-female podcast
Women all have their girly chats, says Maya Jama – and that is exactly what she wants her podcast, When Live Gives You Melons, to replicate.
“It’s so nice and refreshing to hear other women’s opinions on topics,” she told indy100 about her all-female podcast. “Just to be open and transparent about things we that we all know go on, but you don’t hear talked about.”
There’s certainly plenty of topics in the first series of the podcast, made with Freya Lingerie, that other shows wouldn’t touch: it’s a “stripped-back chat” said Maya, that you could have in your living room.
And the second series – which launched this week – hopes to offer far more: periods, smear tests and poo (“I’m super open about that kind of stuff!” said Maya. “But some people are super shy”) alongside everything from first relationships to loss of love. In other words, sums up Maya, “all the stuff you would secretly Google”.
For many fans, the podcast is an oasis of unique, inspirational female voices, all of whom are “superwomen” to Maya with contrasting outlooks on life. “I didn’t just want to be sat there agreeing with everything,” said Maya.
From fashionista, Tia Ward and former Miss England Georgia Jones to TV presenter Cherry Healey and author Katherine Ormerod gracing the microphone in series two, such fresh guests and free conversation means Maya is always learning as well.
For example, Maya has never had to ask for a pay rise thanks to her manager, but she was reminded of the “awkward conversation” of asking for more money. The pay rise episode – called ‘Put Your Hands Up and Give Me A Pay Rise’ – is one she hopes will be “super insightful for people” to find the “power and the confidence” needed.
Likewise, Maya has brought her own life experiences to the table, such as being a well-known woman. “I do think women are sometimes treated differently to men in the media,” said Maya – who in the past has said she is sick of being referred to as nothing more than ‘Stormzy’s girlfriend’ – adding:
You could an actress or artists have an achievement, but the papers will cover it based on her outfit or her relationship, and that doesn’t really happen to men.
I do think we’ve got it a bit harder and that’s why we’ve got to stick together and shout about it, and just say ‘hey, we’re not dealing with your shit’.
With her Pretty Little Thing collection just launched (“with a TV advert and everything!), more work with Maybelline coming out and her new Radio 1 show just starting, Maya certainly isn’t staying quiet.
It’s mental! I do feel I worked really hard last year and the year before and grafted my bum off – and this year is the year where all the big achievements are coming in.
It’s amazing! I’m just super grateful.
When Life Gives You Melons is an all-female podcast brought to you by Freya Lingerie. It can be downloaded here.
