Are Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks officially over?

The couple headed to Ireland on a romantic getaway after Christmas but have reportedly ended their romance.

They both believe they're better off as friends and have stopped dating one another.

An insider told the Mail: "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," they said.

The insider explained that their relationship was on and off from the start, but their friendship remains strong.

"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."

Maura previously admitted that she doesn't feel like she needs a man to be complete.

In an interview with The Times, the influencer said she hasn't ruled out love just yet.

The couple sparked dating rumours when they were spotted at the Broadwick Soho Hotel in August.

Maura Higgins broke up with stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton in March 2024. She was also previously involved with Giovanni Pernice and fellow Love Island star Curtis Pritchard.

The reality star was reportedly heartbroken after splitting with the Strictly dancer in 2021. They were together for four months but Pernice ended things because of work commitments.

Pete also dated his fellow reality stars including Megan McKenna, Chloe Sims, and Jess Wright.
