Love Island star Maura Higgins made a cutting remark about ex-boyfriend Pete Wicks after splitting up on Valentine's Day. The pair, who had been dating since September, reportedly called it quits after several disagreements.
Maura Higgins has made a cutting remark about Pete Wicks following the news that the pair have ended their romance. The Longford star, 34, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2019, had been linked to TOWIE star Pete, 37, since September. Maura even expressed her strong feelings for Pete during her time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! However, the couple have reportedly called it quits on their relationship.
It's said that they've decided they're 'better off as friends' after a few disagreements in their relationship following their respective stints on Strictly Come Dancing and I'm a Celebrity last year. However, it seems Maura might be taking the split quite hard as she made a savage jab at Pete on Valentine's Day, according to Mirror UK. The brunette bombshell enjoyed a luxurious dinner with friends in London on Valentine's night. Maura looked stunning in an off-the-shoulder red dress, styling her new locks straight and sleek. She held hands with a male friend and was all smiles as the cameras flashed. When asked where Pete was by photographers, Maura quipped: 'Dunno, probably out cheating,' according to The Sun. However, there's no indication that Pete cheated on Maura.This follows Maura sending herself flowers on Valentine's Day after reports that she and Pete had ended their romance. The Love Island and I'm a Celebrity star took to Instagram to share a picture of a bunch of red roses the day after news of their split emerged. A note on the bouquet read: “To Me, Love Me.” Maura and Pete, who have known each other for six years, have been in an on-again, off-again relationship for several months. Rumors the long-time pals had struck up a romance began last year when they were caught sharing a kiss during a Soho dinner in August. A source told MailOnline: 'Maura and Pete have decided to call off their romance. There have been a few clashes, and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends. Those closest to them know it's been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place. They remain close and share a deep connection.' The split comes after Pete revealed the real reason why he hasn't settled down yet. The reality TV star has been linked with a long line of ladies throughout his career, which first launched on TOWIE. Speaking to fellow reality TV star Olivia Attwood on her Staying Relevant podcast back in December, Pete said he had struggled to keep long-term relationships. Explaining his feelings, Pete confessed: 'I do feel like I'm now at a different stage of my life. I'm an older man now than when I was younger and a complete p***k.' Olivia quickly said he had never had an issue finding himself a partner, but Pete interjected: 'It's keeping them.' As Olivia tried to coax more out of Pete, she said: 'You don't keep them out of your own choice. I feel like it's because you for so long have not let anyone in. You like your own space, you like to be with your dogs at home and your beer, it's quite a sad scene really actually.' Pete agreed and joked: 'It is a little bit of a sad existence.' However, he admitted he would be prepared to let in the right person now, saying: 'I don't want to die alone.' Despite his confession, in September he revealed to The Times magazine that while he'd be open to the idea of marriage, he's not 'ready to wholeheartedly commit to a romantic relationship' at the moment as he doesn't 'fully understand' himself yet. The Mirror has approached Maura and Pete's representatives for comment.
