Alongside several wholesome snaps from through out her day, Maya told her fans what she was grateful for, penning: ‘Happy Thanksgiving. Thankful for my family, friends and God.’
Prior to this, Maya’s last Instagram post was on October 15, just one day before Liam fell from the third-floor balcony. Since then the influencer had taken a long break from social media and has limited comments on her post.
At the time of his death, a source close to Maya told DailyMail.com: ‘Right now she is obviously in shock.’
The model only found out when a member of her team was contacted by a reporter.
Liam made his first public appearance with Maya in 2019 before their stop-start three-year relationship came to an end in 2022, almost a year after the former couple called off their engagement.
The Strip That Down For Me singer then moved on with girlfriend Kate Cᴀssidy, while Maya promoted her debut novel, Looking Forward – an art-imitating-life romance about a girl who falls in love with a pop star.
Maya has been defended by fans who have rushed to share messages of support in the comments section of her post.
Her supporters have jumped to her defence over vile comments which have been posted online about her involvement in Liam’s death.
She was also pictured blowing out the cakes on her cake

Underneath her most recent Instagram picture, trolls posted sickening comments asking Maya if ‘she was happy’ and telling her the death was ‘her fault’.
After noticing the comments on her page, many shared their own more positive remarks, reminding Maya that the tragic events were not her fault.
