Maura Higgins and Chris Taylor only went public with their relationship in November, but it seems that things are moving quick for the loved-up pair as they’re already talking about marriage.

The couple, who first met on the 2019 series of Love Island, spoke out about when they would consider walking down the aisle during a Q&A with fans on Instagram.

When one of Maura’s followers asked, 'When are you getting married?', they teased the idea of tying the knot in the next 12 months.

Maura let her boyfriend answer the question as she turned the camera towards a surprised Chris and asked, 'When are we getting married, Chris?', to which he replied, "Oh God… erm, next year?"

Maura asked, "Like, as in this year?", before Chris quickly cleared up, "No, next year."

It seems the 30-year-old wasn’t happy with the answer though as she moaned, "That’s ages", to which Chris replied, "Ok, this year" as she giggled into the camera.

Relive the most memorable moments from the 2019 series of Love Island:

TOMMY STOLE LUCIE FROM JOE

After surfer girl Lucie coupled up with Joe on the first episode of the series, things seemed to get off to a good start... before Tommy entered hours later.


Tommy chose to couple up with Lucie, stealing her from poor Joe. He said in the Beach Hut, "At the moment the girl I want to pursue is going to be Lucie. She's a surfer, she goes to the gym. Her body is banging. She has beautiful eyes, a beautiful face, beautiful everything."

Maura and Chris also revealed who made the first move to turn their friendship into a romance and although Chris tried to hint it was Maura, she exclaimed, “It was you!”.

“Yeah, there was probably one way sexual tension though. Just me directing it towards her,” Chris added when another fan asked if there had always been sexual tension between the pair.

“You’re like a sphinx. Can’t even tell if you fancy me now,” he joked.

Although they appeared on the same series of the ITV2 dating show, Maura and Chris didn’t get together until after she split from villa boyfriend Curtis Pritchard at the beginning of 2020.

Despite sending the rumour mill into overdrive when Chris was pictured leaving her Essex home, Maura always insisted they were just friends.

But after they made things Instagram official, Maura’s ex Curtis admitted he felt 'betrayed' by the pair.
