Maia's brother, Hamish Flynn, who she did not know because her mother had adopted him out at birth, made contact with her mother. He had briefly worked at the hospital for Huia Samuels. It turned out that her long-lost "brother" was really a con-man, out to scam her parents for their last penny. However Maia and her sisters did eventually learn of their mother meeting the real Hamish.
Maia has often had family issues about her sexual orientation after revealing to her family that she is a lesbian.
Maia recently had a baby, Jay Jeffries, he was named Jay in honor of Maia's recently deceased wife; Jay Copeland.
