Maura Higgins<\/strong><\/a> is not interested in pursuing romantic connections at this point in her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been celibate for like a year and a half now, which is great,\u201d Higgins, 35, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> while promoting her partnership with Wingstop. \u201cI feel great. I\u2019m like a new woman, not dating, not even speaking to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Higgins noted that she doesn\u2019t \u201chave the time\u201d for a love life considering she\u2019s heading to the ballroom soon to begin Dancing With the Stars<\/em> season 35<\/a> and will be \u201con a flight every three days\u201d beforehand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually don\u2019t have time for it, even if I wanted it \u2014 which I don\u2019t, by the way,\u201d Higgins quipped with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMaura Higgins has no interest in following in Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s footsteps as the next Bachelorette. \u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d the Traitors breakout star told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, April 22, at Hulu\u2019s Get Real event, responding to fans calling for her to be on the ABC reality dating show. Higgins said, \u201cGuys, I\u2019m 35!\u201d going on [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After Rob Rausch<\/strong> infamously betrayed Higgins in season 4 of The Traitors<\/em> (which Rausch, 27, ultimately won), she shared during press interviews that she had been celibate for a whole year<\/a>. While reflecting on her time in the show\u2019s Scottish castle, Higgins told Us<\/em> that she learned one valuable lesson: \u201cDon\u2019t trust men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a hard one, because I do tend to trust people until they do me wrong,\u201d Higgins explained to Us<\/em>. \u201cA show like Traitors<\/em>, it\u2019s just a game. Yeah, there was that initial shock and all of that, but it\u2019s not real life. But I am a loyalist, and loyalty means a lot to me. With friends and in relationships, if you can\u2019t trust someone, then what really is left?\u201d<\/p>\n

In the wake of Rausch\u2019s onscreen betrayal, the pair hashed out their friendship, and he ultimately gifted Higgins a burgundy-colored Birkin bag<\/a>. For Higgins, \u201call was forgiven\u201d before receiving the luxurious gift from Rausch.<\/p>\n
