Love Island’s Maura ‘dating’ footballer Connor Wickham following romantic Paris trip

Maura Higgins and Connor Wickham are reportedly in a relationship after they ended up falling for each other following a date in Paris together last month

Love Island's Maura Higgins is reportedly dating Connor Wickham.

The 31-year-old is said to be "mad" about the former Crystal Palace footballer, 29, after falling for each other when they went on a romantic date to Paris together last month.

Former grid girl Maura was introduced to Connor, who currently plays for Milton Keynes Don, through friends.

A source claims they went to the city of love together in May, but Maura only posted solo snaps on her Instagram.

However they jetted off on another holiday together last night, after making things official between them.

"Maura keeps her cards close to her chest but she seems totally mad on Connor," the insider told The Sun.

"A good friend of hers put them in touch and they have been talking for some time.

"Connor and Maura went to Paris last month and it ended up being so romantic.

"They made it official then and have now gone off on their first holiday together as a couple."

Maura shot to fame on Love Island in 2019 - where she dated Curtis Pritchard.

The reality star has been single since she split from Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice last year.

Meanwhile Connor's last girlfriend was Kayla Cadorna. He also has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Brunette beauty Maura has been in high-demand since rising to fame on the series of love.

At the end of last year, she signed a modelling contract with Elite Model Management and their sister agency EWG Management in New York and LA.

She revealed on social media: "I'm so excited about this new chapter in my life, working in TV alongside modelling has always been one of my biggest passions and I can't wait to share some of the projects I’m going to be working on."

The TV star also joined Glow Up Ireland as their presenter in 2021.

She has joined pal Molly-Mae Hague in becoming one of the most successful contestants after leaving the show.

Molly-Mae is said to be worth £4.5million after she earned a whopping £2million during the coronavirus lockdown.

The 23-year-old social media influencer has created a life of luxury for herself after rising to fame on the reality show.

The Mirror has contacted Maura's representative for a comment.
