«Absolutely not», - she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April 2026 at the Hulu Get Real event. «Guys, I’m 35! You know what? I’m so happy. I don’t need a man. I don’t want anyone invading my space. I love coming back to my beautiful, clean home. I don’t have time to clean up after them».
Maura’s response, full of strength and confidence, received praise from women of all ages and went viral online. However, it also sparked interest in her personal life and dating history.
