How did Maura and Connor meet?

Maura was apparently introduced to Connor through friends and it seems like they hit it off straight away.

The couple is said to be “mad” about each other and jetted off to Paris in May.

Maura only posted pictures of herself alone on the trip, snaps showed two meals when she headed to restaurants. She also captioned a post of her at the Eiffel Tower with the phrase, “Fight for your fairy tale.”

However, it was her friend who sent the rumour mill into overdrive when she wrote, “I can’t look at these pics without smiling x p.s… cupids work here is done.”

“Maura keeps her cards close to her chest but she seems totally mad on Connor,” the insider told The Sun.
