Maura Higgins’ Outlook On Single Life Is So Refreshing

Maura Higgins always says the quiet part out loud—and that’s why we will continue to be obsessed with her.

Fresh off The Traitors US and consistently styling up a storm on the red carpet, Maura has come a long way from her Longford roots… and from the concept of needing a partner to feel secure.

The presenter and social star has been linked to a few guys over the years, but over the past 12 months or so, she has been embracing single life. Enthusiastically so.

“I don’t want to bring just anyone into my energy. It wasn’t even a plan to be celibate. I didn’t put a timeline on it,” she told Cosmopolitan.

“I just had terrible exes and needed a break. I wanted to focus on me, my career, and my energy. Now that it’s been over a year, I don’t even think of men.

“I’m not saying I’m not open [to a relationship], but I’m not checking my DMs to see who’s in there. I’m not searching for it.”

Nor should she be. There are so many great things about being in a relationship… but there are countless positives to being single too.

The independence, the stacked social calendar, and, if you’re Maura Higgins, the fact that your career is growing exponentially as you continue to break into the US market.

Maura didn’t just come second on the most recent season of The Traitors US, she also served consistent looks on the show ensuring every single viewer (and brand) was aware of her status as a fashion icon.

Since then she has launched a new campaign with Uber all about the necessity of an Irish exit, interviewed Zendaya and R-Patz at the premiere for upcoming film The Drama, and of course, nabbed herself *that* Birkin bag.

It’s safe to say that Maura’s relationship status is the least interesting thing about her right now—and if she continues on this trajectory, it always will be.
