Reality TV romances tend to burn bright in the villa and fade fast in the real world, but few couples kept the public guessing like Curtis Pritchard and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. Three months after they walked out of Love Island All Stars as an official couple, they announced a breakup that left fans checking timelines and reading between Instagram lines. Here’s what the record actually shows about Curtis’s relationships, his friendship with Tommy Fury, and the moments that never quite added up.

Who is Curtis Pritchard with now?
Curtis is single. After the May 28 breakup announcement, he told the Daily Mail in mid-June that he was not in a relationship and was concentrating on his career in the boxing ring, as reported by Hello Rayo. That makes the answer to the most-searched question about him unusually clean: no girlfriend, no public situationship, just a training schedule.
Are Curtis and Ekin-Su still together?
No. Ekin-Su said in her Instagram story that she and Curtis had decided to go their separate ways, with Cosmopolitan UK covering the announcement on May 28, 2025. Just Jared confirmed the timing: roughly three months after the All Stars series ended.
- They met inside the Love Island All Stars villa (Heart)
- The romance was described in coverage as starting in January 2025 (Cosmopolitan UK)
- They left the villa in February 2025 as boyfriend and girlfriend (Heart)
- They were the only couple to leave All Stars as an official couple, according to Capital FM
This breakup is harder to read than most: the couple publicly pushed back against “showmance” rumours while the show was airing, then split three months after leaving the villa. The pattern is less about whether the feelings were real and more about whether reality-TV schedules can survive real-world logistics.
What this means: Curtis’s public status now matches his private one. The next question fans ask is not who he’s with, but why the relationship that looked strongest on paper unravelled so quickly.
Why did Maura and Curtis split up?
The Maura Higgins chapter goes back to the original 2019 Love Island series, where Curtis was coupled with Maura (Cosmopolitan UK). Coverage from early 2025, looking back at that era, noted that after Hart left the villa, Curtis coupled up with Maura (BreakingNews.ie). The relationship lasted publicly from 2019 into 2021, per the timeline in the 2024–25 coverage.
Did Curtis leave Amy for Maura?
The 2019 series had Curtis initially coupled with Amy Hart, and his later coupling with Maura was framed by tabloids and fan discussion as a dramatic mid-series switch. The specific “cheating” allegation is contested: what is documented is that Curtis left his original coupling and formed a public relationship with Maura that outlasted the villa (BreakingNews.ie). The word “cheating” is a label applied after the fact, not a ratified verdict.
Did Curtis and Maura sleep together?
Public coverage has not produced a verified statement from either party on this specific question. The reliable record is the relationship timeline itself: they were an official couple in the villa and remained one for years after, which is why the aftermath carried so much weight.
Do Maura and Curtis still talk?
No recent reporting in the research notes confirms ongoing contact. What’s clear is that the 2019 relationship ended in 2021, and Curtis later appeared on Celebrity Ex in the City, where the split and the accusations from his earlier partner were revisited on camera. The current dynamic appears to be “exes who don’t feature in each other’s public lives.”
Audiences wanted a clean villain in the 2019 story — someone who “left Amy for Maura.” The documented timeline is messier: Curtis and Maura stayed together for two years after leaving the villa. The moral narrative never matched the longevity of the actual relationship.
Who did Maura Higgins get with after Curtis?
This is where the record gets thinner. Research notes for this article contain no verified, sourced confirmation of Maura’s later relationships with Pete Wicks or Rob, and no confirmation of a specific “kiss” story. Those narratives exist in tabloid coverage, but they were not part of the verified facts provided here.
- Confirmed: Maura and Curtis were coupled on Love Island 2019 (Cosmopolitan UK)
- Confirmed: Their public relationship ended around 2021
- Unclear: The status of any later relationships involving Pete Wicks or the “Rob” rumour
This is the one question where the tabloid rumour mill outruns the evidence. If you see a definitive answer online, check whether it names a source — most of these stories are built on anonymous “friends” rather than on-record statements.
Why this matters: Maura’s post-Curtis love life became its own entertainment genre, but the verified record is far smaller than the headline count suggests. Separating the two is the only way to read the story without repeating its rumours.
Are Tommy Fury and Curtis Pritchard still friends?
The short answer, based on the content plan’s research notes: no public evidence shows them as close now. Curtis and Tommy were part of the 2019 Love Island era, but early 2025 coverage pointed to a rift between Curtis and Tommy’s inner circle, with social media behavior — specifically following patterns around series mates — read as a feud signal (The Mirror reports on this).
The context: Tommy’s life took a very different trajectory — boxing, a family with Molly-Mae Hague, and mainstream fame — while Curtis returned to the villa for All Stars and then pivoted to boxing himself. The contrast makes the friendship gap feel natural, but the “feud” framing is mostly inference from social media activity rather than from any public statement by either man.
Tommy Fury is one of the only 2019 cast members whose life moved in a completely different direction — family, boxing titles, global press. Curtis’s life stayed inside reality TV’s orbit. The “feud” is less a fight than a fork in the road.
The implication: distance, not drama, may be the real story. Two people who shared a villa in 2019 now lead lives with almost no overlap.
Is Maura Higgins a millionaire?
The verified research notes do not include a confirmed net worth for Maura Higgins. The honest answer is that her exact financial status is not publicly documented in the sources available to this article. What is documented is the public arc: Love Island 2019, a two-year relationship with Curtis, and a career in influencing and presenting that has kept her in the public eye.
Curtis’s own earnings are similarly unverified. The content plan lists his occupation as TV personality, dancer, and influencer, and he has said he is focusing on boxing as of mid-2025 (Hello Rayo). Neither figure has a public accounting.
What can be said: Maura’s longevity in the influencing economy and her post-Love Island visibility give her the earning base of a established UK reality-TV personality. Whether that crosses into “millionaire” territory is exactly the kind of claim that needs a named source — and none of the verified sources in this article provides one.
If a net worth figure appears without a citation, treat it as entertainment, not information. The difference matters: Maura’s and Curtis’s financial stories are both unwritten rather than secret.
Relationship timeline
Five dates, one trajectory: from villa romance to public split in under a year.
| Date or period | What happened |
|---|---|
| Summer 2019 | Curtis enters the Love Island villa and is coupled with Maura Higgins (Cosmopolitan UK) |
| 2019–2021 | Curtis and Maura maintain a public relationship after the show |
| 2021 | The relationship ends; Curtis later revisits the split on Celebrity Ex in the City |
| January 2025 | Curtis and Ekin-Su’s romance begins in the All Stars villa (Cosmopolitan UK) |
| February 2025 | The couple leaves All Stars in third place as boyfriend and girlfriend (Heart) |
| May 28, 2025 | Breakup announced, about three months after the show ended (Just Jared) |
| Mid-June 2025 | Curtis tells the Daily Mail he is single and focusing on boxing (Hello Rayo) |
The pattern across every section of this article is that Curtis’s public life always moves faster than the verified record can keep up. For readers following his relationship status, the reliable answer as of mid-June 2025 is simple: single, training, and no longer part of the Ekin-Su story.
What’s confirmed, what’s not
After sorting through the coverage, the split between fact and speculation is clearer than most reality-TV timelines.
Confirmed facts
- Curtis and Ekin-Su announced their breakup on May 28, 2025 (Just Jared)
- The relationship began in the All Stars villa in January 2025 (Cosmopolitan UK)
- They left the show as a couple and finished in third place (Heart)
- Curtis’s 2019 Love Island coupling with Maura Higgins is documented (Cosmopolitan UK)
What’s unclear
- The exact reasons for the split: “no bad blood” reports (Heart) conflict with “work commitments” reports (The Tab)
- Whether Curtis and Tommy Fury are actually feuding or simply living separate lives
- Both Curtis’s and Maura’s true net worths — no verified public figures exist in the research notes
In his own words
“We have decided to go our separate ways.”
— Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Instagram story, quoted by Cosmopolitan UK
“I am single and focusing on my career in the boxing ring.”
— Curtis Pritchard, speaking to the Daily Mail, reported by Hello Rayo
The gap between those two statements — “separate ways” in May, “single and boxing” in June — is where the public narrative now lives. Curtis’s answer is unusually direct for a reality-TV breakup: no “we’ll always have love,” no carefully ambiguous Instagram caption. He stated his status and his next move in the same sentence.
Where Curtis goes from here
Curtis’s post-All Stars identity is still being written. The verified record shows a boxing pivot (Hello Rayo), a public single status, and a history of using reality TV as a launchpad rather than a landing pad. The contrast with Tommy Fury’s path is instructive: both left Love Island with fame, but Tommy converted it into a boxing career with mainstream visibility, while Curtis’s career has remained closer to the entertainment industry that launched him.
The implication: Curtis’s next chapter will be defined by his boxing record, not his couple status — or the headlines will keep writing relationships he has already left behind.
