Maura Higgins visits Page Six Radio and tells co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real how instrumental Lisa Rinna was in helping Rob Rausch acquire the exact Birkin she wanted. Tune in to Page Six Radio weekdays on SiriusXM Stars Channel 109 from 8 am to 10 am ET and catch the replay at 2 pm ET, or always On-Demand on SiriusXM.

Maura Higgins says she had a feeling Rob Rausch would eventually make good on his extravagant promise — even after he betrayed her in the dramatic finale of “ The Traitors ” Season 4.“He brought it up at the reunion and then I was like, ‘Whatever,’” Higgins recalled.

“Then when we were Eric Nam’s music video, he brought it up to me and he goes, ‘You know I’m definitely getting you the bag.’ And I was kind of like, ‘Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it.’” Her skepticism wasn’t unfounded. Higgins said several of their fellow contestants doubted the reality star would actually follow through.Maura Higgins stopped by SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio to chat about the Birkin bag her “Traitors” co-star Rob Rausch gifted her.‘Traitors’ winner Rob Rausch gifts Maura Higgins burgundy Hermès Birkin on ‘WWHL’ All of Lisa Rinna’s wild book promo tour outfits, from Rob Rausch’s overalls to head-to-toe leather looks “A lot of the other cast members from the castle were kind of like, ‘Oh Maura, you’re believing in this man again,’” she said with a laugh.“And I’m like, ‘I actually am — because we’re not in a game anymore,’” she explained. “So, I’m laughing now. Who’s laughing? Me!” Sure enough, Rausch proved her right this week when he presented Higgins with a stunning burgundy Hermès Birkin live on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” Wednesday night alongside host Andy Cohen.The reality star, pictured here with Page Six Radio hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real, said Rausch told her she was “definitely” getting her desired Birkin.Rausch presented Higgins with a burgundy Hermès Togo Birkin 30 with gold hardware on “Watch Happens Live with Andy Cohen” this week.The coveted handbag — a burgundy Hermès Togo Birkin 30 with gold hardware — is estimated to cost between $16,000 and $22,000. The luxury item didn’t just appear out of thin air, though. Higgins told Page Six Radio that fellow “Traitors” star Lisa Rinna played a key role in helping Rausch secure the coveted accessory. “It’s crazy. I call her my American mom now,” Higgins said of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum. “She’s been really cheering me on and rooting for me, and that means a lot to me.” According to Higgins, she immediately suggested Rausch enlist Rinna’s help, knowing how difficult it can be to purchase a Birkin.Higgins, seen here during a “Traitors” roundtable scene, says co-star Lisa Rinna was instrumental in helping Rausch secure the bag.“You can’t just walk into an Hermès store and buy a Birkin. It’s not easy. You have to have an appointment. Some people are on waitlists for, like, over a year,” she explained. “But obviously, Lisa Rinna — the queen that she is — has a lot of contacts, a lot,” Higgins added. “So, I said to Rob immediately, ‘Speak to Lisa.’” Rinna ultimately helped connect Rausch with Madison Avenue Couture, the luxury reseller where he sourced the bag. “I said to him, ‘Lisa will make that happen.’ And she was like, ‘Of course I will.’ And I just knew she would,” Higgins said.Rausch and Higgins, pictured here at SiriusXM’s NYC headquarters on March 5, each rose to fame as “Love Island” contestants.Higgins told Page Six Radio that her new Birkin is her second after purchasing a cream-colored version just months ago.“The last one I got was, like, a creamy color and I said to all my friends, ‘The next one’s gonna be burgundy,’” she told us. “I think I bought my last one only, like, a couple of months ago.”Stars’ secret to a snatched, red carpet-ready jawline is 20% offStars’ secret to a snatched, red carpet-ready jawline is 20% offBritney Spears arrested for DUI in CaliforniaSavannah Guthrie's 'Today' show future revealed as she visits set amid mom Nancy's disappearanceStaggering list of 911 calls to Britney Spears' LA mansion revealed as she's arrested for DUI Maura Higgins stopped by SiriusXM's Page Six Radio to chat about the Birkin bag her"Traitors" co-star Rob Rausch gifted her.The reality star, pictured here with Page Six Radio hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real, said Rausch told her she was"definitely" getting her desired Birkin.Rausch presented Higgins with a burgundy Hermès Togo Birkin 30 with gold hardware on"Watch Happens Live with Andy Cohen" this week.Getty Images Higgins told Page Six Radio that her new Birkin is her second after purchasing a cream-colored version just months ago.
