Love Island star Maura Higgins is reportedly taking things “slow” with her Strictly Come Dancing pro love interest for now.
According to source speaking to OK! magazine, Maura Higgins is being careful with her latest romance to Giovanni Pernice because she’s “worried he’s a player”.
The source said, “Maura is enjoying the attention and she thinks he’s so hot. He’s really charming, but she is a little worried he might be a player…She doesn’t want to get hurt, so she’s taking it slow. She’s enjoying single life so won’t rush into anything”.
“Giovanni is smitten. He always fancied her and slid into her DMs. It’s very early days,” the source continued.
Maura and her Love Island co-star Chris Taylor announced they split in May of this year.
The pair went public with their romance last November, but have sadly decided to go their separate ways.
Announcing the news on social media, Maura said, “It breaks my heart to even type this but I wanted to let everyone know that myself and Chris have made the joint decision to end our relationship.
“There is no wrongdoing on either side… We still love, care and respect each other deeply.”
We are happy that Maura seems to be in a good place right now and is enjoying her single life.
