Who Is Pete Wicks Dating? A Closer Look at His Secret Romance with Samantha Kenny

Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks has shocked fans by revealing he’s “in love” again, just six months after ending his relationship with Maura Higgins.

Pete, 36, shared the news during the latest episode of his Staying Relevant podcast with close friend Sam Thompson. The confession came while Pete was taking part in a playful lie detector test.

The Lie Detector Moment

Sam asked Pete if he was in love with someone right now. Pete said “no,” but the polygraph examiner, Mark, declared he was lying. The machine’s reading proved otherwise.

Sam reacted with excitement, shouting, “I knew it!” Pete, looking uncomfortable, accused Sam of catching him off guard. He admitted that Sam already knew who the woman was, but claimed she had not replied to his last message.

Mystery Woman Sparks Curiosity

Neither Pete nor Sam revealed the name of the woman. The secrecy has only fueled speculation among fans. Sam teased listeners, saying, “Find her! Find her!” while Pete laughed nervously.

Past Rumours with Samantha Kenny

Back in March, Pete was seen hugging Love Island contestant Samantha Kenny outside a London restaurant. Both insisted they were only friends, and Samantha later said she was dating someone else.

The Maura Higgins Break-Up

Pete’s romance with Irish TV star Maura ended in February. Maura accused Pete of cheating, which led to a public fallout. The pair had seemed strong just months earlier, with Maura speaking warmly about Pete during her time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

Their relationship lasted only two months before things turned sour. After the split, Pete reportedly “moved on and couldn’t care less” about Maura.

Drama After the Split

In recent months, Maura has also made headlines after being spotted kissing McFly’s Danny Jones at the BRIT Awards. Danny later apologised to his family on social media. Pete has since made subtle digs at his ex, keeping the tension alive.
