Maura Higgins Dazzles in Cowgirl Attire for Co-Star's Music Video
Reality television personality Maura Higgins has showcased her impressive physique in a daring cowgirl ensemble for the latest music video by her Traitors co-star Eric Lam. The Love Island alum, who has been focusing on expanding her career in the United States over recent months, took to Instagram to post a collection of behind-the-scenes photographs from the video shoot.
Stunning Western Fashion Display
Maura ensured all eyes were on her as she revealed her toned abdominal muscles in a revealing black bralette and extremely short denim hotpants. She accentuated her waistline with a black woven belt and layered a matching shirt over the outfit. Completing the western theme, the Irish model donned a pair of knee-high denim boots and a substantial black leather cowgirl hat.
In one playful snapshot, Maura posed energetically with a lasso on the rustic country set before engaging in conversation with the production team. Another image captured a tender moment between Higgins and Eric Lam, with Lam placing a comforting hand on her back as they chatted.
Injecting humour into her social media post, Maura wrote in the caption: 'I TINK….. I got a new tinking cap', lightheartedly mocking her distinctive Irish accent.
Music Video Narrative and Traitors Connection
The music video features singer Eric Lam traveling to the ranch of Rob Rausch, following the intense season 4 finale of The Traitors. In that dramatic conclusion, Rob betrayed fellow traitor Eric and claimed the entire $228,000 prize fund for himself.
Upon arriving at the ranch, Eric discovers that Traitors Faithfuls Maura Higgins, Natalie Anderson, Ron Funches, and Yam Yam Arocho are being held captive against their will. The group subsequently ties Rob up and covers him in flammable fluid, intending to leave him to perish in a fire. However, Ron experiences a last-minute change of heart and rushes back to rescue Rob from the flames.
Speaking to People magazine about the video, Eric Lam commented: 'It was good to see everybody in a different element, just chilling. Ron was doing Ron, just under a tree by himself. Yam Yam was loud as ever. Maura was doing glam and looking fabulous, and Rob just rolls up in an overall.'
The filming took place in Los Angeles the day after the cast reunited for The Traitors reunion special. Lam explained his motivation: 'I was like, 'I know everybody's going to be in town, so I would love to get them in.' I called Maura, and she was like, 'We have to do this.' And then we rounded it out with our cast. I think it's just a great way to wrap up this experience and put a bow on it.'
Maura's Personal Life Revelations
This music video appearance follows recent disclosures from Maura Higgins regarding her personal relationships. The model revealed she has remained celibate for approximately a year, citing trust issues stemming from what she describes as a pattern of infidelity among former partners.
Her most recent publicly known relationship was with Pete Wicks, which ended amid allegations of cheating. Last year, Maura publicly suggested Wicks had been unfaithful after discovering messages to other women on his phone. However, insiders speaking to Daily Mail contested these claims, asserting that Pete Wicks had never been unfaithful and was distressed by the accusations.
Discussing her romantic life during an interview with Elite Daily, Higgins stated: 'I've already got severe trust issues. I've been cheated on by the majority of my exes - that's the reason I've been celibate for a whole year. I don't trust men anyway.'
She further elaborated on her dating approach in a conversation with Glamour Magazine, identifying trust issues as her primary relationship red flag: 'If I'm dating you and it's only a week in, I've already gone through your phone. I've turned into a bit of an investigator because men have done me dirty. So like, I mean, I'd probably say it's a beige flag, but we call it red. We call it red because it's not okay to go through someone's phone, but I'm going to do it again.'
Maura Higgins has experienced several high-profile relationships since rising to fame on Love Island, where she initially developed a connection with Curtis Pritchard before dating fellow contestant Chris Taylor. Subsequently, she had a four-month relationship with former Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice. More recently, she was spotted sharing a kiss with TOWIE star Joey Essex at the 2022 National Television Awards, though both parties denied any romantic involvement.
