Love Island's Maura and Curtis branded 'fake' as they're not pictured together in weeks

Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard have just announced they're officially a couple after he popped the question months after Love Island ended.

But they've now been branded "fake" by their followers because of their strange Instagram updates — or lack thereof.

Both have only shared pictures of themselves from award ceremonies or on magazine covers, but don't seem to have spent any time together away from the cameras.

They posed for pictures on the red carpet of the Mirror's Animal Hero Awards on September 30.

And last week they put on a loved-up display at Specsavers' Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards.

They were all smiles on the front cover of OK! magazine to announce they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

But it looks like the last time they enjoyed some time alone away from the red carpet or on photoshoots was four weeks ago.

The couple enjoyed dinner togeteher and Curits posted about how "proud" he was of his stunning girlfriend.

And their lack of quality time hasn't been missed by fans, who have questioned whether they're really still together.

One said their romance was "fake" while another called it a "pseudo relationship".

A third posted: "Are these two really a couple or just amazing business people?"

Commenting on their magazine cover, another wrote: "Well that’s fake. All for money."

"This relationship is fixed so some people can make a money." another agreed.

Mirror Online has contacted reps for Curtis and Maura for comment.
