Love Island USA is almost back! But this time a familiar face will not be returning to Fiji.
Love Island USA: After Sunhost Maura Higgins shared with Vulture that she will not be returning to the franchise for its upcoming eighth season.
When asked if fans would see her in Fiji this Summer, Higgens shared, “You won’t. I’ve done it for three years, and they’ll always be family to me, but I think it’s time to try something different.”
Following a successful run on The Traitors US Season 4, where she made it to second place, Higgens shared she has amazing opportunities coming in the door, including the upcoming 35th season of the ABC reality competition series, Dancing with the Stars.
“I think it’s time to say goodbye,” the reality star said to the outlet regarding the reality franchise that she has been a part of in some fashion since her debut on Love Island UK’s fifth season in 2019.
Now, that doesn’t mean Higgins is closing the door to appearing on the franchise for good. “But you know what? I won’t say forever,” she teased.
Higgins added that she will still be watching the series, “I love them and miss them. It’s just time to move on,” she added.
