Maura Higgins has been spotted out in public for the first time since making explosive claims about her ex-boyfriend, Pete Wicks. 

The Irish reality TV star recently suggested that Pete had been unfaithful during their relationship, leading her to end things after discovering messages on his phone. 

However, Pete’s close friends have denied the accusations, maintaining that the texts were nothing more than friendly exchanges with female acquaintances.

The Love Island star, 34, was seen in London on Tuesday, attending the InterTalent x BAFTA networking breakfast alongside a friend. 

Looking effortlessly stylish, Maura kept her outfit simple yet chic, opting for a white top and black trousers, layered with a grey overcoat. 

She completed the look with a pair of white trainers and a classic Chanel handbag. 

With her brunette locks slicked back into a bun and her makeup enhancing her natural beauty, Maura appeared unbothered as she made her way to the event.

Pete Wicks Denies Infidelity Claims

The controversy between Maura and Pete began when Maura suggested that Pete had “probably cheated” on her while celebrating her single status at London hotspot Sheesh on Valentine’s Day. Her remarks came shortly after news of their split became public. Pete, 37, has been left “hurt” by the accusations, with sources close to him insisting that he did nothing wrong.

According to insiders, the messages Maura found on Pete’s phone were innocent conversations with friends and colleagues. A source revealed:

“The truth is, Pete did nothing wrong. He did not cheat. The messages were simply friendly communication with female friends—nothing inappropriate.”

Despite the drama, Pete has refrained from publicly responding to Maura’s accusations, with sources claiming that he still cares about her and does not wish to engage in a public dispute.

A Relationship That Ended on Bad Terms

Maura and Pete had been linked for some time, with their relationship becoming more public towards the end of last year. The pair were spotted sharing romantic moments at red carpet events and even enjoyed a cozy getaway together in Ireland over New Year’s Eve. However, their romance was reportedly turbulent, with frequent disagreements leading to their eventual breakup.

Reports suggest that Maura was upset after finding texts on Pete’s phone from other women, which ultimately led her to call time on their relationship. Pete, on the other hand, has insisted that there was no wrongdoing on his part.

A source close to the former couple explained:

“Pete has always been open about his struggles with commitment and has worked hard to change his ways. It’s frustrating for him to see this narrative continue when he has genuinely tried to be a better person.”

Despite the accusations, the source added that Pete still holds Maura in high regard and has no interest in speaking negatively about her, either privately or publicly.

Maura’s Public Digs at Pete

Since their breakup, Maura has not held back from throwing subtle (and not-so-subtle) jabs at Pete. Just days after their split became public, she made headlines when she was asked where Pete was during a night out and responded, “Dunno, probably cheating.” The remark was caught on camera and quickly went viral.

Adding to the drama, Maura shared a video of herself singing along to Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You and Where Do Broken Hearts Go, seemingly alluding to her recent heartbreak. The post fueled speculation that she was using the songs to express her feelings about the breakup.

What’s Next for Maura and Pete?

While their romance may be over, sources close to the former couple suggest that the situation remains complicated. Some insiders believe that Maura and Pete share a strong connection and could rekindle their relationship in the future. One friend noted:

“With Maura and Pete, you never know. The attraction between them is undeniable, and they could easily reconnect at some point.”

For now, Maura appears to be focusing on her career, while Pete continues his efforts to move past his “bad boy” reputation. The former TOWIE star has been vocal about wanting to change public perception of him, especially following past relationships with Megan McKenna and Chloe Sims.

Despite their split, both Maura and Pete remain in the public eye, with fans eager to see what’s next for them—whether individually or as a possible rekindled romance.
