When did Love Island’s Chris Taylor date Maura Higgins?
In March 2021, after months of speculation, Maura Higgins confirmed that she and Chris were an item.
Chris told his followers: “Turns out I fell in love with my best mate.”
However, six months later the couple revealed they had split as they “work better as friends”.
The pair shared separate statements saying there was “no wrongdoing” on either side and they “still love, care and respect” each other.
Since then, Chris has not been publicly linked to anyone.

On January 7, 2024, it was revealed that Chris would once again head into the villa as part of the Love Island All Stars cast.
Speaking about his decision to return to the show, he said: “Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again.
“I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me! It would be good to find a girl who I can co-parent my dog with.”
