I think it was a great form of self-reflection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBrooks feels she lost her authentic self in the midst of their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe model was &#8220;acting like a different person&#8221; while she was dating the professional dancer.<\/p>\n<p>\nReflecting on their romance, she said: &#8220;I was acting like a different person when I was in that relationship, which is a bad sign &#8211; you should be totally, fully yourself when you&#8217;re in a good relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But I think when everything went down and seeing me emotional and seeing me go through that and have to relive that made me realise that I need to trust my next partner because I don&#8217;t want to live that again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/star-maura-higgins-want-partnered-gleb-savchenko-1445197.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 May 2026 Maura Higgins doesn&#8217;t want to be partnered with Gleb Savchenko on Dancing With the Stars.
