According to OK! Magazine, Giovanni was spotted posing for pictures with fans outside of the hotel. Meanwhile, Maura shared a photo of a sea view from the hotel to her Instagram story. What’s more, Giovanni and Maura recently started following each other on Instagram. One fellow guest took to Instagram writing:

Ooh and finally finally you just never know who you'll spot at a place like @polurrianonthelizard!! I spotted two Love Islanders and a rather well known dancer.

It’s not clear who the second Love Islander might have been—nor if Giovanni and Maura were definitely there together.

Fans were shocked when Love Island 2019 stars Maura Higgins and Chris Taylorannounced their split at the start of May. They had been together for just under a year. Previously, Maura famously dated fellow Islander Curtis Pritchard and was linked to her Dancing On Ice partner Alexander Demetriou, although both denied they were ever romantically involved.
