The Summer House star was quick to shoot down the rumors. “F— no,” Miller recently told Glamour. “I’m way too private.”
But it seemed Higgins’ heart was open to the idea. The Irish beauty reacted to an Instagram post by Deuxmoi, sourcing the friend of an ABC exec, that “they are looking into getting Maura Higgins to be the new Bachelorette and do a live shooting of it.” Higgins — who, like Miller, also appeared on The Traitors (but in different seasons) — commented with the eyes emoji, which typically signifies intrigue.

Miller has been in the news lately in the wake of the bombshell revelation that her good friend, Amanda Batula, and ex-boyfriend, West Wilson, have been in a secret relationship behind the backs of the Summer House cast.
Describing the betrayal as “a major mindf—,” Miller opened up in a Glamour cover story about Batula, who split from her husband Kyle Cooke in January.

“I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long,” confessed Miller. “I think that’s the craziest part.”
The Summer House star follows in the footsteps of fellow Bravoleb Ariana Madix, who joined Dancing With the Stars in 2023 after it was revealed her boyfriend of 10 years, Tom Sandoval, had been carrying on an affair with her friend Raquel Leviss, a.k.a. “Scandoval.” Madix went on to take third place in season 32.
