Former flames Maya Jama and Stormzy headed out on a romantic boat trip together after appearing to confirm their relationship is back on.

The Love Island host and grime star were spotted holding hands amid their lavish Greek holiday together. It comes after eagle-eyed fans worked out the pair were holidaying at the same resort after noticing similar backgrounds in their social media pictures. The two stars are enjoying their secret getaway at the plush Peloponnese villa at the Amanzoe complex which reportedly boasts a personal chef and butler, a pool with terrace, and speedboats.

Stormzy is said to have flew Maya out on a private jet to the £2,700 per night holiday earlier this month. They have since been spotted enjoying the local scenery and spent quality time together on a boat trip. Maya looked gorgeous in a black bikini top and long white skirt as she walked hand in hand with Stormzy, who donned a white vest and shorts. The presenter kept cool in a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of sandals.

On board the small boat, Maya popped open a bottle of wine as they celebrated their rekindling. They were also seen lounging on the deck, as they relaxed in the sun. After the couple were spotted together, Maya dropped her biggest hint yet that she is indeed back with the rapper. Taking to her Instagram, she posted a video of herself holding a glass of red wine as she watched the sunset over the ocean. The track playing over the top of it is Kanye West ’s Water, which contains the telling lyrics: “I promise I’m not hiding anything”.

Earlier in the day the loved-up pair were seen smiling and holding hands as they went on a shopping trip together. Love Island host Maya looked radiant in a white floaty skirt which she paired with a black string bikini tip and a straw hat. The South London rapper matched his belle as he sported a white muscle-fit vest top and matching shorts, which came down to the knee. The award-winning rapper added a pair of stylish sunglasses and white trainers to complete his look as he walked hand in hand with his newly-rekindled flame, four years after they parted ways.

Fans of the couple have been hoping for a reunion ever since the two stars called time on their relationship at the end of 2019. Just days after it was all smiles at Maya's 25th birthday celebrations, the Love Island presenter moved out of their shared home and it was all over.

It was claimed the break-up was amicable, with the talented duo simply wanting to focus on their respective careers. However, shortly after the split, a then newly-single Maya unfollowed the Shut Up singer on social media and cheating rumours began to circulate. Stormzy has been adamant he never cheated on Maya and seemed to address rumours in his subsequent music releases – with his song Lessons where he confessed that he had "done the dirt" on the TV star.

He also admitted to showing "disrespect" to TV star. "If there was a box of what a good woman is, she ticks every one, she's amazing. But I didn't cheat on her. I actually didn't cheat,” he told HOT 97 at the start of 2020. "Don't get it twisted, I'm still definitely an a***hole. 100%, that's a fact. I'm an a***hole. But I thought now was a good time to say that I didn't cheat on my ex." In the same interview, Stormzy was asked if he still loved his ex Maya, to which he replied: "Yeah, definitely, with all my heart."

In a resurfaced clip, Stormzy bared his soul as he shared his feelings to documentary maker Louis Theroux. Addressing the repercussions of the end of his relationship with Maya, Stormzy said: "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."

Referring to the "whole f***ing palaver that surrounded that situation", he said that there were "other mistakes [he'd] made". He added: "I didn’t do what a man should do to fully appreciate love, and care for his woman." Stormzy and Maya's Greek holiday comes after she was pictured laughing and joking with her ex-boyfriend after she jetted to the UK from Ibiza to support the rap star.

Maya joined Stormzy's pals Idris Elba and YouTuber Chunkz as she watched him perform a two hour set at All Points East festival in London’s Victoria Park last week before she then reportedly joined her ex and pals for a backstage afterparty. Last month in her Vogue cover shoot, Maya spoke about her four year relationship with Stormzy as she revealed: "None of us really knew the level of importance it held to a certain group of people, us being together.

"We were both super ambitious. We were both from similar upbringings and we were both just little grafters that have made something good of ourselves. It was lovely when it was lovely, and then you move." At the London festival, an onlooker told The Sun: "Maya and Stormzy may not be officially dating anymore, but they are still close and grew up together. She is really proud of him and vice versa. They’ll always have a special bond. They spent time catching up and chatting, people were looking at them and giving them their space."
