Traitors star Maura Higgins celebrates US fame with tights that say ‘Mom, I am a rich man’ at viewing party – after revealing plans to crack America

Maura Higgins showed off her growing popularity in the US with a bold fashion choice on Thursday, wearing tights printed with the phrase ‘Mom, I am a rich man‘.

The 35-year-old reality star quickly became popular with American viewers after appearing on the show, The Traitors US.

After announcing her ambition to succeed in the United States, Maura celebrated with her fellow cast members and posed for photos at a viewing party in West Hollywood.

Maura looked incredibly stylish in her glamorous outfit, complete with high black YSL heels and a dramatic faux fur coat.

The Irish celebrity first became well-known on the UK version of Love Island in 2019, and has since appeared in several reality shows in the United States.

Fans are already loving her current role on The Traitors US, praising the glamorous star for her performance.

After only one episode, Maura has promised to stir up trouble and strategically eliminate her fellow contestants.

Alan Cumming, the host of the Peacock show, announced that Candiace Dillard Bassett, Lisa Rinna, and Rob Rausch were the Traitors in season four.

Similar to the UK edition of the show, episode three will expose one of the hidden Traitors. Maura has expressed a desire to be the Traitor and is secretly hoping her wish comes true.

People on X (formerly Twitter) are enthusiastically praising Irish influencer Maura Higgins, with many calling her stunning and expressing their admiration.

Someone told Maura Higgins to change her expression, and suddenly it felt like she was on a reality TV show, specifically ‘The Traitors US’.

It’s not surprising Maura Higgins is hitting it off with the Real Housewives! Everyone’s now hoping for a UK version of The Real Housewives franchise. #TheTraitorsUS

I’ll be disappointed if Natalie Anderson and Maura Higgins don’t both win the $250,000 prize on The Traitors US! I’m rooting for them to succeed together. #TheTraitorsUS

Before the show aired, Maura hinted that she was starting the game with a cape, playfully suggesting she wanted to be a Traitor and secretly eliminate the other players, one by one.

If anyone tries to attack me publicly, so be it. It feels like a betrayal, honestly. I always say what I think, and I definitely prefer to be upfront and honest rather than secretive.

Laughing, she concluded by asking: ‘That sounded really devious, didn’t it?’

Maura turned heads in short black hotpants when she attended a viewing party for her show with her fellow cast members in West Hollywood.

In June 2025, news broke that Maura would be joining the US version of The Traitors, hoping to become popular with American audiences.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m hearing fantastic things about Maura! She’s really becoming a big name in the US, and her role on ‘The Traitors’ is just one piece of that exciting growth. Everything points to a seriously bright future for her – it seems like she’s destined for big things stateside!

Maura Higgins became famous on the fifth season of Love Island, alongside Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, and she made her first appearance on American TV in 2023.

She rejoined the Love Island franchise, taking on the role of social media presenter for both Love Island USA and Love Island Games.

Only a year after that, Maura landed the job of hosting Love Island USA: Aftersun and quickly became popular with audiences.
