Maura Higgins says she does not consider her Love Island time with Curtis Pritchard to have been a real relationship. The former Islanders, who left the villa together in 2019, had later discussed their romance publicly, but Higgins now frames it differently. She says she “didn’t quite” see their period together as a relationship and adds that she believed it “wasn’t a thing.”
According to the accounts, Higgins describes the dynamic as more of an arrangement or mutual understanding rather than a conventional romance. She also refers to an “agreement,” suggesting there was a shared expectation about what their pairing meant at the time. The comments come years after the couple left the villa, when their connection became a prominent talking point for viewers.
Overall, the sources agree that Higgins is making a retrospective clarification, presenting her view of the pair’s post-villa storyline as not amounting to a formal relationship.
