Ben Simmons Demands $1M Engagement Ring Back From Ex Fiance Maya Jama

Ben Simmons Sends Legal Demand For His $1 Million Engagement Ring Back From Ex Fiance Maya Jama

Love Island Maya Jama has been hit with a legal demand for the $1million diamond engagement ring given to her by her basketball ace ex-fiancé.

NBA star Ben Simmons got down on one knee to the Love Island host in December 2021 following a whirlwind romance.

But the long-distance relationship hit the rocks last August when Maya decided to focus on her career in the UK — and Brooklyn Nets ace Ben, 26, and Maya, 28, went their separate ways last month.

But the beauty, who last week wowed Love Island fans on her debut appearance with a string of revealing outfits, failed to hand back the huge £800,000 diamond sparkler.

And now fuming 6ft 10in Aussie Ben has hit her with a legal letter demanding she return the ring immediately. A source close to the star said: “Given Ben has never, until now, asked for the ring back, you can appreciate the letter came somewhat as a surprise to Maya.”

They added that she intends to hand it back. And a spokesperson for Maya told The Sun on Sunday last night: “Maya received a request from Ben’s representatives on Friday afternoon, asking her to return the engagement ring that he gave her as a gift last year.

“Maya is making arrangements to return the ring to Ben and wishes him all the best.” A friend of Simmons said: “Ben was really shocked when she left and didn’t give him the ring back.
