Maura Higgins delivered a cheeky dig at her ex, Pete Wicks, on Valentine’s Day, sparking buzz among fans and followers. The former Love Island and I’m A Celeb star, 34, was caught on video leaving a restaurant when asked about the whereabouts of her ex, 37-year-old TV personality Pete Wicks. She responded playfully, “Dunno, probably cheating,” raising eyebrows amid ongoing speculation about the reasons behind their breakup.
The comment came shortly after Maura posted a photo of herself with a bouquet of red roses, accompanied by a note that read, “To Me, Love Me.” The post was widely seen as a defiant nod to self-love following her split from Pete. Meanwhile, Pete was spotted looking downcast while out with his mum in Essex, wearing a baseball cap emblazoned with the words “smoke and mirrors.”
The couple’s breakup came as a surprise to fans, especially after their romantic Christmas getaway in Ireland. Despite knowing each other for six years and dating for several months, they never officially confirmed their relationship. Rumors of trouble in paradise began circulating following a series of arguments reportedly stemming from issues of trust.
A source revealed, “Maura was suspicious of Pete and whether he might have been messing her around. There’s been some rows over trust. Although they have both been coy about their relationship, she really liked him and saw a future.”
Despite their split, both have spoken highly of each other in the past. Maura once admitted on a podcast that she “adored him,” while Pete described her as “super intelligent” and “incredibly witty.” The pair were often seen enjoying each other’s company, including public displays of affection at events like the Pride of Britain awards after-party.
Maura’s Valentine’s Day appearance was anything but gloomy. She stepped out in a striking red mini-dress adorned with rose motifs, dining with hairstylist friend Carl Bembridge at a Mayfair restaurant. Her bold fashion choice and playful comment suggest she’s moving on in style.
Neither Maura nor Pete have publicly addressed their breakup, but fans are eagerly watching for any updates.
