Former Love Island co-stars, Maura Higgins and Molly-Mae Hague, who were once very close friends, are now reportedly facing strains in their relationship. The two met on Love Island in 2019 and have shared numerous personal and professional experiences over the years. However, recent tensions have emerged due to their competing business endeavors and personal controversies, including Maura’s headline-making kiss with Danny Jones at the BRIT Awards.
Insiders suggest that friction arose as both women launched their beauty lines around the same time. Maura promoted her Gloss It Yourself L’Oreal collection, followed shortly by Molly-Mae unveiling the Beauty Works x Molly-Mae Curl Collection, sparking rumors of professional competition between them.
Despite their history of supporting each other, their friendship hit a rough patch six months ago when Maura was photographed kissing the married guitarist Danny Jones. This incident reportedly strained their relationship, with Molly feeling disappointed and distancing herself from Maura.
While they have not directly addressed the issue, sources indicate that Molly has distanced herself due to differences in their lifestyles and social media behavior. Molly, now focused on family life with her partner Tommy, has found it challenging to relate to Maura’s recent actions and online presence.
Although their bond remains intact, their busy schedules and evolving priorities have naturally led to a decreased closeness between them. The Mirror has reached out to representatives of both Maura and Molly-Mae for their comments on this matter.
