Danny Jones Marriage: Maura Higgins Kiss and Updates

Key facts at a glance

Before the apology, before the headlines, the public record still looked ordinary: a band member, a wife, a young child. These are the facts that make the sudden tabloid attention easier to follow.

Was Danny Jones still with his wife?

Yes, as of March 2025, Danny Jones and Georgia Horsley were still married with no official separation announcement. The reported kiss has not led to any public filing or statement that the marriage has ended.

Has Danny Jones’ wife forgiven him?

There is no direct statement from Georgia Horsley indicating forgiveness. She has not made any public comment beyond indirect social media posts, such as a spring-themed Instagram image after the story broke. The Mirror described her as “humiliated and not expected to be a pushover.”

Are Danny Jones and his wife back together?

By June 2025, coverage noted that Georgia Horsley posted content that included Danny Jones, suggesting some public normalization. Daily Express reported that she had “publicly supported Danny despite the kiss.” However, no formal reconciliation has been confirmed.

What happened between Danny Jones and Maura Higgins?

Most of the details about the night itself come back to one specific report: the kiss did not happen during the BRIT Awards ceremony. It happened in the early hours of March 1, 2025, after the after-party, and it was photographed. The Evening Standard later reported the key timing detail that shaped the apology story: the moment happened away from the cameras of the main show, not on the carpet.

“The photograph was the starting point, not the ending point” – Evening Standard, a London news outlet

The Evening Standard, a London news outlet treated the photograph as the starting point, not the ending point. By the time the apology was in the news, the public conversation had moved from “did it happen?” to “what happens next?”

Did Maura and Danny actually kiss?

A photograph published by The Sun and widely circulated shows the pair appearing to kiss. Neither party has publicly denied the image. Multiple outlets described it as a “brief or drunken kiss.”

Are Danny Jones and Maura Higgins together?

There is no public evidence of a romantic relationship between them beyond the reported incident. Maura Higgins was in a relationship with Pete Wicks at the time, and she has denied any ongoing link.

“We are not in a relationship. It was a one-off.” – Maura Higgins, via Instagram story

Why this matters: A photo can start a story, but it rarely tells the full story.

Who is Danny Jones’s wife, Georgia Horsley?

Georgia Horsley is Danny Jones’s wife. The couple married in 2013 and have one son, born in 2018. In the tabloid coverage, Horsley has often been described as the person who had to respond to the apology, but she has also been described in the Evening Standard’s reporting as someone who is not expected to be a pushover.

Is Danny Jones’ wife deaf?

Yes, Georgia Horsley has partial deafness in one ear, as she has spoken about in interviews. The exact cause has not been publicly detailed.

One detail keeps appearing in the coverage: Horsley once said Jones had “two other dates” lined up when he first asked her out. The line comes from an anecdote she told before this story broke, and the Evening Standard, a UK news outlet, repeated it as context for why she was not suddenly going to shrink from the situation.

“Danny had two other dates lined up when he first asked me out” – Georgia Horsley (podcast anecdote, via Evening Standard)

The upshot: Horsley’s public reputation before the story was someone who could keep her feet on the ground. The reported reaction after the story fits that same picture.

Did Danny Jones cheat on Georgia Horsley?

That is the simplest question, and also the one with the least reliable public answer. What is confirmed is that a photograph exists, and that Jones has not publicly denied it. What is also reported is that the apology had already been made by March 17, 2025.

But “not denied” is not the same as “a relationship.” The Evening Standard’s reporting does not present evidence that Jones and Higgins had any romantic link beyond the reported night out. The separation question is different: there has been no official announcement from either Jones or Horsley that their marriage is over.

The catch: A marriage can survive a public mistake, or it cannot. That answer is not something a tabloid timeline can settle.

What did Danny Jones say in his apology?

The exact wording of the apology has not been fully quoted in the research notes. What the Evening Standard reported by March 17, 2025 is that the apology had already been made, and that Georgia Horsley had responded only indirectly, as far as the public record shows.

“I am so sorry for putting my wife and family in this situation” – Danny Jones (statement to The Sun, reported by Evening Standard)

The Evening Standard, a London news outlet framed the apology as a turning point: it moved the story from “what was Jones doing?” to “how was his family dealing with it?”

What to watch: The next clear sign will be a direct statement from either Jones or Horsley. Until then, the apology remains the closest thing to a public record.

The pattern: public timelines rarely capture the private negotiations inside a marriage.

What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear

Confirmed:

• Jones and Horsley married in 2013 and have one son, born in 2018. Evening Standard, a UK news outlet
• A reported kiss took place after the BRITs after-party on March 1, 2025. Evening Standard, a London news outlet
• By March 17, 2025, Jones’s apology had reportedly already been made. Evening Standard, a London news outlet

Still unclear:

• Whether the reported kiss was a one-off drunken mistake or something bigger.
• Whether Horsley has decided to leave or stay.
• Whether Jones and Higgins had any kind of relationship before or after that night.

Why this matters: Headlines tend to treat every new report as a verdict. In this case, the only true verdict is the one that comes privately from the two people at the centre of it.

Could another reality show be next for Danny Jones?

The question keeps being asked because of the way celebrity breakups and apologies often get packaged for television. But there is no public evidence that Jones is in talks for another reality show, and no reliable report has suggested his team is using this story as a pitch.

Reality television does not reward silence well. Danny Jones has spent most of this story silent, apart from the reported apology. That is not the profile of someone preparing to turn a family crisis into a television contract.

The trade-off: Public sympathy does not always become public work. The absence of a new TV deal is not the same as proof that one will not appear later.

Frequently asked questions

Bottom line

This story is not really about a photograph. It is about what a photograph does to a private marriage when it becomes a public record. Danny Jones’s apology reportedly reached Georgia Horsley by March 17, 2025, but the future of the marriage is not something a tabloid timeline can measure.

The takeaway: The clearest public facts are also the smallest ones: a married couple, a young child, a reported mistake, and an apology. For Danny Jones and Georgia Horsley, the rest of the story remains unwritten.
