The Final Date Before Takeoff: Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks' Last Hurrah
Remember when Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks were a thing? Remember?! It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Well, for those of you who haven't been living under a rock, the pair were briefly linked back in 2021. And before they went their separate ways, they had a final date that was so romantic, it practically screamed "final date!"
A Final Dinner for Two
The duo, who had met on the set of "Celebrity Masterchef," enjoyed a last night out together in London. The location? The swanky The Ivy. Now, if that doesn't scream "final date," I don't know what does! They even shared some pics on Instagram, documenting the night with a selfie and a couple of cute videos.
The Instagram Tea
It was all very casual and "just friends," right? Well, not quite. The pair were seen leaving the restaurant together, with Pete apparently carrying Maura's handbag. That's a pretty big "we're-definitely-more-than-friends" hint, wouldn't you say? And then there was Maura's Instagram story that night...
A "Final" Goodbye
Maura posted a story with the caption "Good times with good people," showing Pete laughing with another friend. And guess what? Pete also posted a story featuring Maura that same night! While neither of them explicitly said "this is our final date," the timing was suspicious to say the least.
So What Happened?
Well, shortly after their very public final date, rumors started circulating about the reason behind the split. Some people speculated that it was due to distance (Maura lives in Ireland, while Pete is in London), while others claimed it was because of different priorities.
A Final Chapter
Whatever the reason, Maura and Pete's short-lived romance left us with some pretty iconic moments. The final date at The Ivy, the suggestive Instagram stories, and the mystery behind the breakup. All in all, it was a pretty wild ride for a brief fling!
Looking Back and Moving On
And now, it's time to move on. Both Maura and Pete have found new partners (and, fun fact, they're both with fellow reality stars!) While their final date might be a distant memory, it's a reminder that even fleeting relationships can leave a mark. So, thanks for the memories, Maura and Pete, and all the best to you both!
