However, it looks like she won’t be heading to the dating show after all.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she denied the rumours.
“Absolutely not. Come on guys, I’m 35!” she told the publication.
“Do you know what? I’m so happy. I don’t want a man. I don’t want anyone in my space. I like to come home to my beautiful, clean house. I don’t have to pick up their s**t I don’t actually have time anyway.”

Instead, she’ll be focusing on Dancing with the Stars, joking that she wants to lift the Mirrorball Trophy and put it in her Birkin.
It comes after aĀ RedditĀ thread began at the start of March with one fan saying: āHear me outā¦Maura Higgins for the next Bachelorette. Iām surprised no one has mentioned this. I would so watch her season.ā
āSheās the most beautiful woman Iāve seen on TV,ā another said.
A third said: āIād start watching againā¦ā

Even celebrity gossip Instagram page,Ā Deux-Moi, has shared rumours that this could be the case.
They claimed that ABC is ālooking into getting Maura Higgins to be the next Bachelorette and do a living shooting of itā.
Maura left the side eye emoji on the post which only fueled speculation. However, she’s closed the door on that now.
