The duo were pictured kissing at red carpet events and even enjoyed a cozy getaway together in Ireland over New Year’s Eve, but went their separate ways shortly after.

Maura addressed their split for the first time as she left Sheesh restaurant in London on Friday night with her friends. 

When asked by a pH๏τographer where Pete was, Maura replied: ‘Dunno, probably cheating,’ in the video obtained by The Sun. 

The Irish TV personality made sure to show her ex what he was missing in a strapless red mini dress, which featured a bustier neckline and a skirt made of appliqué roses. 

Earlier this week, MailOnline revealed Maura and Pete had decided they were ‘better off as friends’. 

‘Maura and Pete have decided to call off their romance,’ an insider said.

‘There have been a few clashes and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends.

‘Those closest to them know it’s been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place. They remain close and share a deep connection.’

On Saturday, footage emerged that showed Maura taking a swipe at Pete, quipping that he was 'probably cheating' when she was asked where he was (pictured with the star in May)

A friend added: ‘You never know with Maura and Pete, the attraction is so strong that you wouldn’t rule out reunion at some point – even in the short term.’

Maura entered the I’m A Celebrity jungle as a late arrival with Reverend Richard Coles, while Pete delighted BBC viewers on Strictly Come Dancing performing alongside pro dancer Jowita Przystal at the exact same time.

As soon as both shows  finished, the couple finally had the chance to reunite, spending Christmas together at Glᴀsson Lakehouse Co. Westmeath, close to Maura’s hometown in Ireland.

Speaking on a podcast interview in January, Pete expressed his fondness for Maura, explaining the pair had been supporting each other from afar from six years.

He said: ‘Maura and I have known each other for a long time now… about six years.

‘We have the same sense of humour, she’s super intelligent and I think that is sometimes something that people don’t realise about Maura.’

‘She’s incredibly witty. We have always been there for each other for the past six years at a distance.

‘It’s different now. We spend more time together now than we did before. My relationship with her is that I think she’s a great person and I would hope that she thinks I’m alright.’

Pete, who reportedly grew close to dance partner Jowita on Strictly, has spoken about his difficulties with commitment, admitting settling down ‘scares’ him.

He has previously had romances with former TOWIE co-stars Megan McKenna, Shelby Tribble, Chloe Sims and Ella Rae Wise. 

Maura, meanwhile, fell for Curtis Pritchard on Love Island in 2019 before dating Chris Taylor, who 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 EsSєx denied that they were romantically involved.

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

She told The Times in January that she was ‘happy right now’ after being questioned about her relationship status with Pete.
