Maura Higgins has teased a new romance as she shared a very cryptic message on social media on Saturday.

The Love Island star, 35, is taking the US by storm, currently starring on Dancing With The Stars with partner Mark Ballas – the son of Strictly’s Shirley Ballas.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the reality star has hinted that she has found love across the pond.

She shared a snap of her shadow alongside a mystery man's shadow on the pavement.

'Tink I've got the fanny flutters,' she wrote on top of the snap.

Maura made the phrase 'fanny flutters' popular during her appearance on Love Island in 2019.

At the time, she used it to describe her attraction to contestant Tommy Fury.

Maura's last known relationship was with Pete Wicks, who is now dating Olivia Attwood.

Earlier this year, she revealed she has been celibate for 'a year' as she took a swipe at her 'cheating' exes.

Discussing her love life amid her busy work schedule, Maura said: 'I've already got severe trust issues.

'I've been cheated on by the majority of my exes - that's the reason I've been celibate for a whole year.'

She added: 'I don't trust men anyway.

 'If I wasn't used to that kind of guy, I reckon I would've been crying, storming out, never speaking to him again,' she said in reference to losing to Traitor Rob Rausch during the interview with Elite Daily.

A month prior, Maura revealed she goes through a man's phone just a week into dating him because she has 'serious trust issues'.

She said she has turned into an 'investigator' when it comes to dating men after years of 'men doing her dirty'.

Last year, Maura took a public swipe at her ex-boyfriend Pete and suggested he cheated on her after she discovered texts to other women on his phone.

Insiders told the Daily Mail at the time that Pete was never unfaithful to Maura and was hurt by the accusations. 

In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Maura detailed her red, green and beige flags and said: 'I'd say my biggest red flag in a relationship is I've got serious trust issues. 

'If I'm dating you and it's only a week in, I've already gone through your phone. I've turned into a bit of an investigator because men have done me dirty. So like, I mean, I'd probably say it's a beige flag, but we call it red.

'We call it red because it's not okay to go through someone's phone, but I'm going to do it again.'

TV star Maura has regularly dated in the public eye. 

She fell for Curtis Pritchard on Love Island before dating Chris Taylor, whom she met on the same series.

Following their split, Maura was in a relationship with axed Strictly professional Giovanni Pernice, but they parted ways after four months.

After being spotted sharing a kiss at the National TV Awards in 2022, Maura and TOWIE's Joey Essex denied that they were romantically involved.

In March 2024, Maura split from stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton after ten months together.

Maura was then seen sharing a 'drunken kiss' with McFly's Danny Jones – who has been married to his wife Georgia for over a decade – as they attended Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty. 

Most recently, Maura sparked romance rumours with her Traitors US co-star Rob, 27.

Fans have picked up on apparent chemistry between Maura and fellow player Rob, hoping they get together. 

While appearing on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, the Irish star broke her silence on this speculation as she was quizzed about their relationship. 

It saw Andy ask her: 'The internet wants you and Rob to get together, and?'

To which Maura responded: 'I saw, there's a lot of videos on TikTok at the moment.'

Continuing, Andy followed up with: 'And what do you think?' 

Maura coyly replied: 'I mean, you'll have to watch the show to see if that happened.' 

The pair knew each other through Love Island US, where Rob appeared as a contestant in 2023 and 2024.
