After months of speculation, Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks have officially confirmed their blossoming romance in the most public way possible. The couple, who have been teasing their connection for weeks, shared an intimate kiss at the Pride of Britain afterparty, making it clear to everyone in attendance that they are indeed an item.
The tender moment took place at the Red Bar of London’s prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel, where Maura and Pete partied until the early hours of the morning. According to exclusive reports, the couple were inseparable throughout the night, with Pete planting a kiss on Maura’s nose before sharing a sweet kiss on the lips. Their affectionate display signified the start of a new chapter in their relationship.
Although the couple had been spotted together multiple times before, they had kept their romance under wraps, playing coy about their connection. Their chemistry was undeniable, however, and fans were quick to speculate that something more was brewing between the Love Island star and TOWIE‘s Pete. The romance was confirmed in full force at the high-profile event, where they shared their first public kiss as a couple, leaving no room for doubt.
Before this, Maura and Pete had poked fun at the gossip surrounding them, with Maura even wearing a t-shirt with a photo of the two of them kissing outside the Broadwick Hotel in Soho. The t-shirt’s slogan read: “We can’t be friends,” a playful jab at their previous attempts to keep things casual.
The Pride of Britain afterparty was just the latest chapter in Maura and Pete’s growing relationship. Earlier this week, the couple shared a fun TikTok video together practicing dance moves, further fueling rumors of their closeness. Pete, who is currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing, has been spending more time with Maura as they continue to enjoy each other’s company.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in August when they were spotted sharing a kiss in Soho, but they had maintained a playful silence on the matter until now. Their public kiss at the afterparty is a clear indication that they are ready to take their relationship to the next level.
The Pride of Britain awards have long been known for bringing together some of the biggest stars in the UK, and now it seems that love is also in the air. Maura and Pete join a long list of famous couples who found romance at the ceremony, including Christine and Frank Lampard, who met at the event in 2009 and are now happily married with two children.
As Maura and Pete embrace their newfound relationship, fans are excited to see where their romance goes next. With their undeniable chemistry and shared moments, it’s clear that this couple is one to watch in the months ahead.
