The former Love Island star went to the Golden Globes last month, drawing attention for her sleek look on the red carpet.

Maura has since continued to rub elbows with Hollywood’s elite and ran into a couple of big names on Sunday evening.

The Longford woman headed to California for Super Bowl LX, watching the Seattle Seahawks triumph over the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium.

The Super Bowl is always a star-studded affair, with the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Kim Kardashian, Adam Sandler, Jon Bon Jovi and Harry Styles all in attendance on Sunday.

Maura shared her experience of the event on her Instagram story, recording Charlie Puth singing the US national anthem and Bad Bunny’s stunning half-time show.

She also foreshadowed herself running into a Hollywood icon after spotting him on the big screen in the ground.

Maura shared a video of Kevin Costner appearing on the Jumbotron, writing: ‘I GASPED!!!!’.

Just a couple of posts later, Maura shared that she ran into Kevin going the opposite way on an escalator in the stadium.

She declared: ‘Kevin, I love you’, as he passed by, with the actor looking a bit bemused as he turned around.

Maura captioned the video: ‘The luck of this happening to me.’

The 35-year-old seemingly enjoyed her first Super Bowl, especially the ‘incredible atmosphere’ during the half-time show.

Bad Bunny’s performance had an incredible twist, with a couple actually getting legally married on the pitch.

The pair featured heavily during the intricate and energetic show, beginning with a proposal early on. Midway through the set, the pair got married, surrounded by backup dancers.

It also featured surprise performances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin and included famous guests such as Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba and Cardi B.

The show closed with a billboard that read: ‘The only thing more powerful than hate is love’.
