However, she poked fun at the reports as she supported him at his Staying Relevant podcast tour.
Maura donned a personalised T-shirt showing a picture of the kiss and words, ‘We can’t be friends’ written in capital letters across the front of her chest.
She posed with an arm around Pete’s best friend Sam Thompson in the snap, which she captioned ”Hilarious night…. you smashed it @samthompson @stayingrelevantpodcast.’
It’s not the first time Maura and Pete have been romantically linked.
Last year, the pair were filmed getting cosy at Grosvenor House in London.
In the clip, which was recorded in October 2023, Maura and Pete cosied up together in the corner of a room, seemingly taking selfies on Maura’s phone.
They were spotted gazing into each others eyes during what looked like a deep conversation, with Maura flashing a huge smile at the reality star as he waved his arms around during the chat.
Their encounter happened a year before Maura, who split from American stuntman boyfriend Bobby Holland Hanton earlier this year, wrapped her arms around Pete’s neck and kissed him during their recent romantic luncheon together.

A source told The Sun: ‘Maura had been sitting on the terrace with friends for an hour before Pete arrived.
‘After they’d sat there for a while Maura went in for a long kiss with Pete. It wasn’t the kind of kiss you’d give a friend, it was very passionate.
‘Maura and Pete seemed to be really into each other and kept looking into each other’s eyes before kissing again a number of times. They were all over each other. They looked totally in love and weren’t trying to hide it from anyone.’
Maura recently revealed that she is not short of offers and has had American A-listers slide into her DMS and ask her out.
Speaking to Closer, the Love Island USA star said: ‘I’ve had Hollywood men slide into my DMs.
‘But I’m not going to do that, be flown to Hollywood for a first date. They have to come to me!’
Maura also confirmed that she has moved on from her ex Bobby following a 10 month whirlwind romance, but refused to give more details.
She added: ‘I’m dating… The thing with me is I won’t just date someone.
‘I don’t go off just looks, I have to be speaking to somebody for quite some time to sort of get their vibe. It needs to be flirty, getting to know each other, getting a vibe.’
Bobby and Maura were first romantically linked after they were first spotted on a date in London in May.
The couple were then seen enjoying several passionate kisses while on holiday together in Ibiza in June.
