Stormzy is on the cover of Vogue

Stormzy has made history as the first British man to appear solo on cover of Vogue.

The rapper has graced the December edition of the magazine in one of six front cover stars. He posed on his own but the magazine has published six different editions including Jodie Comer, Kate and Lila Moss, Lil Simz, Tilda Swinton and Olivia Coleman.

Each have gone for a similar while and red theme, but all have their different take. Stormzy looks dapper in his photoshoot where he wore an all-white suit paired with a white shirt. He accessorised his look with two silver cat brooches, with the red letters of Vogue sitting behind his head. He smiles in the shot while he plays with a ring on his little finger.

By appearing on the cover, the musician has made history as he is the first British man to appear solo on the cover of British Vogue's print edition in its 107-year production. In his interview, he opens up about his rekindled relationship with TV star Maya Jama.

The pair were in a relationship until 2019 which is when they went through a very public breakup. But it looks like they have put this behind them as they are officially an item again.

At the time of the interview, the pair had been spotted holidaying together and since then they had been seen more and have even confirmed they are back together. Addressing the holiday snaps, Stormzy told Vogue: "We were just living la vida loca. Lapse of judgement for an hour!"

It was last month that Maya and Stormzy put the rumours to bed and finally admitted that they were in a relationship again. It was when Maya took to her Insatgram page to share a video of a sweet gesture that fans finally found out the truth.

Stormzy picked his girlfriend up from the airport in a sweet show of affection. She filmed her boyfriend holding up a picture of her as well as a hand made sign which read: "Maya Jama's #1 Fan." He stood there holding the posters to reunite with his love after she'd been away.

He smiled from ear to ear as she emerged and she could be heard in the background saying: "You are so cute, thanks, put it down now I'm shy."

After splitting four years ago, the two of them went their separate ways and dated other people as well as focusing on their careers. Maya first met Stormzy in 2014 when they were both relatively unknown at the start of their careers.

But things went sour when Maya moved out of the couple's home and they split. At the time they claimed the breakup was amicable until the presenter unfollowed Stormzy amid allegations he'd cheated on her - which he denied. Stormzy previously admitted that he made mistakes the first time around but has since grown.
