Pete Wicks, 37, finally opened up about his feelings for Maura Higgins in an emotional interview on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast.
Pete, who described Maura as “super smart” and “incredibly witty”, finally opened up about their whirlwind romance after they started dating last August (pictured together in May 2024).
“They were together since they were children, but she found it very, very difficult and my mother struggled with depression and alcoholism and it was too much for her. She tried to take her life one night and I found her. That was hard.
‘I felt responsible, I didn’t feel enough. I didn’t feel like being there was enough for her to want to be there and I felt responsible for the circumstances of how it happened, I could have stopped it.
‘I knew, despite being so young, that she was drinking and not in a good place, I was very upset the night it happened.
‘She told me she was going to be okay and I went to my room and I could hear her crying and I stayed in that room and if I hadn’t stayed (in my room) then maybe I could have stopped it. “It was a difficult moment.”
He added: “I never felt unloved, but I never felt like I was enough.” It’s not that I didn’t feel loved by my mom or dad, I just felt like I was in the way. “They had their own problems at the time and I felt like an afterthought.”
