Maura Higgins was seen in London on Tuesday looking pensive following recent reports that her romance with Pete Wicks has come to an end. The Love Island and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star, 34, had been linked to TOWIE personality Pete Wicks, 37, since September, but the pair have reportedly decided they are “better off as friends” after experiencing tensions in their relationship.
During her time in the Australian jungle, Maura spoke openly about her strong feelings for Pete, expressing how happy she was in the connection. However, following their split, she made a pointed remark about him on Valentine’s Day, fueling speculation about the reasons behind their breakup.
The Irish star was seen enjoying a luxurious dinner with friends in London on Valentine’s night, looking stunning in an off-the-shoulder red dress with sleek, straight hair. While holding hands with a male friend and smiling for the cameras, she was asked about Pete’s whereabouts. In response, she quipped, “Dunno, probably out cheating.”
Reports suggest Pete was left “hurt” by the remark, although neither has publicly confirmed the exact cause of their breakup. The couple’s split comes after their respective stints on Strictly Come Dancing and I’m A Celebrity last year, which may have contributed to growing tensions between them.
