Romance often takes unexpected turns, and for Maura Higgins, it seems to be a thrilling ride.
Recently, the Love Island star was seen sharing a kiss with Pete Wicks, and their chemistry is undeniable.
This week, the couple confirmed their relationship, sparking conversations about their budding romance.
Their affectionate display during a date in London has certainly caught the attention of fans.
Maura Opens Up on a Podcast
In her first public comments about her connection with Pete, Maura joined Paul Brunson on the We Need To Talk podcast.
She shared how their relationship blossomed soon after her stint on Love Island, describing their bond as an instant connection.
“We just get on very, very well,” she expressed, clearly smitten.
“I adore him; he’s an amazing person.”
Maura highlighted their shared sense of humor, which she described as “sick and dark,” indicating they enjoy playful banter that involves a bit of teasing.
Reflections on Past Relationships
While her new romance seems promising, Maura didn’t shy away from discussing her past experiences in relationships.
Reflecting on her history, she admitted, “I’ve not had a great track record.”
She feels that aside from her best friend, many of her past partners have disappointed her.
This expectation of being let down, she believes, can hinder the development of a healthy relationship.
Sweet Moments Captured
Maura and Pete have been keeping a relatively low profile since they first sparked romance rumors in August.
However, they were recently spotted sharing tender moments at the Pride of Britain after-party.
At one point, Maura sweetly kissed Pete on the nose, and they were later seen getting cozy at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
Their playful dynamic was also showcased in a recent TikTok video where they showcased Pete’s dance moves from Strictly.
The Rumor Mill Keeps Turning
Their affection hasn’t gone unnoticed by onlookers.
An eyewitness described the couple as inseparable during a night out with friends, sharing whispers and even interlocking legs while enjoying drinks.
The observer was surprised at how close they seemed, especially given the chemistry Pete was rumored to have with his dance partner, Jowita.
It appears that while Pete was preoccupied with Maura, he didn’t seem concerned about being eliminated from Strictly.
A Twist of Complications
As if the situation couldn’t get any more complicated, Maura was also seen getting cozy with Strictly star Kai Widdrington at the same awards event.
The two looked quite close, with Kai wrapping his arms around her and even twirling her.
While Kai is currently single after a split from fellow dancer Nadiya Bychkova, the dynamics between these relationships have raised eyebrows among fans and insiders alike.
The Never-Ending Drama of Strictly Romance
A source close to Strictly commented on the romantic entanglements, suggesting that the show is notorious for its stars mixing business with pleasure.
With Kai and Maura’s closeness while she’s still feeling things for Pete, and the added intrigue of Pete’s affection for Jowita, the drama is far from over.
The insider remarked, “It’s a never-ending conveyor belt of relationships and flings, which shows no sign of ending.”
As this love triangle unfolds, fans are left wondering: what’s next for Maura, Pete, and Kai?
