The rapper, 31, and the Love Island presenter, 29, confirmed their breakup was ‘final’ in a statement, after previously going their separate ways in 2019 and reconnecting in August last year.
Stormzy, whose real name is Michael Owuo Jr., has now been pictured embracing and kissing US singer Victoria Monet, 35, at London’s Heathrow Airport on Thursday evening, seemingly confirming their blossoming relationship.
In the pictures, the Grime star looked loved-up as he gave Victoria a hug that lifted her off the ground, followed by a kiss on the lips.
An eyewitness told The Sun: ‘Both Stormzy and Victoria looked absolutely smitten with each other.

Sources told MailOnline the couple conflicted over their lifestyles, with Stormzy more of a homebody.
Meanwhile, Maya, who’s at the top of her game as the face of luxury fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana, ambassador for Rimmel London, and is sought after by streaming giant Netflix , is focused on her career at present.
A source close to the couple revealed: ‘Maya and Stormzy are very much on different pages when it comes to their future.
‘Stormzy was keen to settle down whereas Maya is enjoying her career, she’s ambitious, and wants to prioritise achieving everything she possibly can.
‘She also loves travelling and partying, at just 29 she’s not ready for the next chapter just yet.’
The couple’s statement read: ‘We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup.

‘But for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.
‘We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart.
‘We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.
‘We were 21 and 20 when we first met – both at the beginning of our careers – and spent five years growing together and five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.’
