Pete Wicks addresses rumors about his relationship with Maura Higgins, revealing his fears about commitment and their long-standing friendship.

Dublin: So, Pete Wicks recently had a cheeky response to the buzz about him and Maura Higgins. He kept it short and sweet, just three words!
Rumor has it that these two have been hanging out since before Christmas, even spending the holidays in Ireland together. But they’re keeping things pretty low-key, according to reports.
When Maura was on ITV’s Loose Women, she hinted that her dating days might be over. But when asked if she was single, she played it coy, saying, “No, did I say that?” Classic move!
And when Frankie Bridge pushed for more details, Maura just said there wasn’t much to share. It’s all a bit mysterious, right?
Now, Pete has opened up a bit about his bond with Maura. He told the Daily Mail that they’re really close and share a great sense of humor. He even praised her for being super supportive during his time on Strictly.
Fans often think they’ve only known each other for a short time, but they’ve actually been friends for six years! Pete admits there’s never been any romance before now.
After his public breakup with Megan McKenna, Pete learned to keep his private life under wraps. He’s got a bit of a “fear of commitment,” which he links to some past experiences.
While he’s not sure if he’ll end up alone, he does dream of settling down and having kids someday. But first, he feels he needs to sort some things out for himself.
