Maya Jama has quickly risen to become one of the most popular TV hosts in the UK, captivating audiences with her wit and charm. Behind her success is her beloved mother, Sadie, who takes immense pride in her daughter’s achievements.
A striking resemblance is evident between Maya and her mum, who had Maya when she was only 18 years old. Sadie, of Swedish descent, raised Maya alongside her Somali father, Hussein, in Bristol. The name “Maya” was chosen by Sadie in honor of the renowned US author and poet Maya Angelou.
Despite the challenges of being a young mother, Sadie has always been a pillar of strength for Maya.
Their bond was further solidified by the presence of Maya’s stepfather, who provided a loving and stable relationship that Maya cherishes. Reflecting on her upbringing, Maya expressed gratitude for the opportunity to witness a healthy and loving parental relationship.
The mother-daughter duo has shared the screen, appearing together on All Round To Mrs Brown’s Boys. Maya often speaks fondly of Sadie, emphasizing the unique dynamic they share due to their smaller parent-daughter age gap.
Their relationship is built on openness and understanding, with Sadie adopting a non-judgmental approach that has allowed Maya to flourish.
Maya’s affection for her mother extends beyond admiration, as she frequently showcases their close bond on social media.
Despite Sadie’s absence from platforms like Instagram and TikTok, Maya ensures her fans catch glimpses of her lookalike mum through her posts.
In interviews, Maya has candidly discussed the impact of her mother’s “cool mum” persona, noting moments when Sadie’s fun-loving nature may have pushed the boundaries.
Despite the occasional party ban imposed by Maya, the pair shares a friendship that transcends traditional parent-child roles.
