Ben Simmons might be afraid to shoot a 3, but he is not afraid to shoot off a legal letter to his ex-fiancee Maya Jama asking for his engagement ring back.
Simmons and Jama broke up a few months ago.
The official reason for the breakup was they had a hard time sustaining their long-distance relationship, but unofficially there might have been a little more funny business going on.
Simmons spent $1 million on the engagement ring and was shocked that Jama didn’t give it back, so he had to get the lawyers involved via the Daily Mail.
Maya Jama has reportedly been sent a legal letter demanding she return the £800,000 engagement ring her ex-fiance Ben Simmons gave her last year.
The new Love Island host, 28, and the basketball player, 26, split last summer after a whirlwind romance so that they could both focus on their careers.
Ben proposed to Maya over Christmas in 2021 following a whirlwind seven-month romance after she spent the festive period at his £3.7million mansion in New Jersey.
A source told The Sun: ‘Given Ben has never, until now, asked for the ring back, you can appreciate the letter came somewhat as a surprise to Maya.
‘Ben was really shocked when she left and didn’t give him the ring back.
‘He was madly in love with her and thought it was forever so was really p***ed she didn’t give it back. It cost around $1million and they were engaged less than a year.
A representative told MailOnline: ‘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.
‘This was the first time that she has been asked by Ben to return it and, for the avoidance of any doubt, she has never refused to return it.
To her credit, Jama, the new host of UK’s Love Island, says she will send him the ring back; all he had to do was ask.
If there was doubt their relationship was dead as a doorknob, that should be erased now.
