Summary
- Maya Jama celebrated Mother's Day with her lookalike mum, Sadie.
- She inherited her sense of humour and love for festivals from her mother.
- Her mother fell pregnant at 18, leading to a unique, close relationship.
Maya Jama marked Mother's Day by posting heartfelt tributes to her mother, Sadie. Praising her as her 'twin,' Jama shared that she inherited her sense of humor and a love for festivals from her mother. She revealed a childhood photo of Sadie holding her at Glastonbury, noting it ignited her passion for music and festivals early on.
Their close relationship stems partly from Sadie having Maya at 18, resulting in a more peer-like dynamic. Maya previously shared that this smaller age gap allowed her more freedom and less rebellion. Sadie, who has also appeared in a campaign with Maya, is described as having a wild side, even being banned from parties for getting too drunk.
Jama also reflected on her father's absence due to jail time during her childhood, explaining how she used humor to cope. She expressed gratitude for her stepfather's presence, highlighting the positive example of a loving relationship he provided during her formative years.
