From what both Maura and Chris had been sharing on social media it was clear they have some craic together, as they played pranks on each other and hung out at each other’s homes.
Speaking to The Sunday World Maura shared that she never thought this friendship could have blossomed into a romantic relationship; “We were very close friends and, looking back now, we never would have thought that we would be in a relationship.”
“I never even thought of that, and it sort of just happened. We started spending a lot of time together and then it was just a bit obvious that if we get on this well it could be the foundation to a good relationship.”
Continuing she added; “My love life is really good. We have a good time together. It’s nice now that I have someone in this lockdown because otherwise, I would have been well bored by myself.”
