Love Island star Maura Higgins is making headlines again, but this time, it’s not for her fiery reality TV antics. The 33-year-old TV personality has seemingly turned to music to heal her “broken heart” after rumors swirled about her split from The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks. Fans are buzzing over her emotional new song, which many believe is a direct response to allegations of cheating in their rumored relationship.
Maura took to social media earlier this week to share a snippet of her latest project – a soulful ballad titled Broken Hearts. In the heartfelt lyrics, she sings about betrayal, trust, and moving on from a love that “wasn’t worth the pain.” While she hasn’t explicitly named Pete as the inspiration, fans were quick to connect the dots.
The drama began last month when Maura hinted at infidelity during an interview, saying, “When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.” Though she didn’t name names, sources close to the pair claimed she was referring to Pete, whom she’d been romantically linked to since late 2023. The two were spotted on multiple dates and even enjoyed a cozy getaway together, sparking rumors of a budding romance.
However, things took a turn when Pete was photographed getting cozy with another woman at a London nightclub. Maura reportedly confronted him, and the pair haven’t been seen together since. While neither has officially confirmed their relationship – or its end – Maura’s new song has fans convinced she’s telling her side of the story through music.
In Broken Hearts, Maura’s raw vocals and emotional delivery have struck a chord with listeners. Lines like “You promised forever, but forever was a lie” and “I’ll pick up the pieces you left behind” have fans flooding the comments with messages of support. Many are praising her for turning her pain into art, while others are calling out Pete for his alleged behavior.
Pete, for his part, has remained tight-lipped about the rumors. When asked about the cheating allegations during a recent public appearance, he simply said, “I’m not here to talk about my personal life.”
As for Maura, she seems to be focusing on her music and moving forward. In a recent Instagram story, she shared a behind-the-scenes clip from the recording studio, captioning it, “Music is my therapy.” Fans are already speculating that Broken Hearts could be the first single from a larger project, possibly an EP or even an album.
Whether or not the song is about Pete, one thing is clear: Maura Higgins isn’t afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve. And if Broken Hearts is any indication, she’s turning her pain into something beautiful – and her fans are here for it.
