However, insiders said Maura, 33, realised there was no future for them as a couple, and she has no regrets.

A source told The Sun: "It was really fun for a while.

"But they're different people. It's over between them."

The couple have also unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The Sun has contacted a representative for Maura for comment.

Maura previously dated Strictly star Giovanni Pernice, and Love Island co-star Chris Taylor.

She rose to fame on Love Island with Chris in 2019, but she left the villa with Curtis Pritchard.

They lasted seven months but their romance was rocked by cheating claims, and they split after she competed in Dancing On Ice in 2020.

Maura was first linked to stuntman Bobby, who has stood in for Daniel Craig and Chris Hemsworth, last summer.

They kept their romance out of the spotlight and off social media until December last year.

Maura finally confirmed she had found love again in an interview on Ireland's The Late Late Show.

She told host Patrick Kielty: "I am no more single. Very happy relationship."

The pair then celebrated New Year's Eve together in an ultra romantic setting in the Maldives and shared photos together in the paradise destination.

Bobby, 39, was previously married and shares a 10-year-old daughter with his ex wife Rachel.

They lived together in London but split in 2022.

A source told the Mail last year: "Rachel is a supportive ex-wife, and she approves of Bobby's romance with Maura.

"Rachel sees it as Bobby is free to date whoever he wants. Due to his career, she has been fully prepared that he may well end up with someone in the public eye."

In an exclusive interview with The Sun Maura said she wanted her ex Chris to pop the question as she shared her hopes of settling down and getting married.

“We’re very much in love and we use the L-word a lot," said Maura in 2021.

"I look into the future and see myself with a family.

“I don’t want a baby any time soon, but when I’m ready and settled.

"I want to be married before I have a baby, so Chris better hurry up and give me that engagement ring, because I’m not getting any younger.”

They dated for six months but split in May 2020 and shared the news with fans in a joint statement.

The said they had remained friends, adding: "We are both going through a very tough time with this atm, so please take any speculation with a metric tonne of salt, cos this is the only truth (and as always, trolls can kindly f*** off.)"
