Maura Higgins fangirls over a very bemused Kevin Costner after running into him at the Super Bowl

Maura Higgins is on a mission to crack America with a surprise appearance at the Golden Globes already ticked off her list.

And now the Love Island star, 35, is rubbing shoulders with Hollywood legends at the USA's biggest sporting event.

Maura was invited to the star-studded Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday.

Whilst the crowd, which included Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton, were wowed by Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga's team up during the half time show, Maura only had eyes for once A-lister.

Posting on Instagram Stories from her seat, Maura admitted she 'gasped' when Hollywood actor Kevin Costner, 71, appeared on the stadium jumbotron.

But the best was yet to come as another video posted by the Irish reality star later in the night showed her unexpected run-in with her crush.

As she headed down an escalator Kevin was headed up with Maura gushing in her video caption 'the luck of this happening to me'.

Maura didn't miss her moment, yelling as the bemused-looking actor passed her 'Kevin I love you!'

Maura enjoyed Super Bowl weekend as a guest of Primark, the official partner of the NFL.

The Love Island favourite has been in and out of the states this month, most notably for her surprise appearance at the Golden Globes.

It's all thanks to her appearance on The Traitors US where Maura has proven to be a huge hit with viewers thanks to her round table put-downs and her ultra glam ensembles.  

Ever the Love Islander, Maura has even sparked romance rumours with her Traitors  co-star Rob Rauch, 27.

Fans have picked up on apparent chemistry between Maura and fellow player Rob, hoping they get together. 

While appearing on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live last month, the Irish star broke her silence on this speculation as she was quizzed about their relationship. 

It saw Andy ask her: 'The internet wants you and Rob to get together, and?'

To which Maura responded: 'I saw, there's a lot of videos on TikTok at the moment.'

Continuing, Andy followed up with: 'And what do you think?'  Maura coyly replied: 'I mean, you’ll have to watch the show to see if that happened.' 

In the game, Maura is playing as a Faithful while Rob is secretly one of the Traitors.

The pair knew each other through Love Island US, where Rob appeared as a contestant in 2023 and 2024. 

Meanwhile, Maura began hosting the spin-off show Aftersun from 2024 onwards.
