UK influencer Molly-Mae Hague and boxer Tommy Fury announced their shock split after five years together on August 15 2024.
After 9 months apart, and the release of Part II of her docuseries, Molly-Mae has confirmed the relationship is “worth saving” as they relaunch their relationship on Instagram.
The couple were one of UK Love Island’s ultimate success stories. Their five year relationship has seen them welcome a daughter, get engaged and have what seemed like the ultimate fairy tale. But when both shared a statement announcing their sudden split fans were left wondering what had gone so wrong, so quickly.
Taking to Instagram stories last year, Molly-Mae wrote, “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this. After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end. I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.
“I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all.”
Concluding, the influencer asked for privacy while she deals with the breakup.
“Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I’ll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae x”
Tommy later released a similar statement in which he said he was “heartbroken” at the split and thanked Molly-Mae for making him a father.
As Part II of Molly-Mae’s documentary aired on Amazon Prime, the influencer revealed that it is back on with her former fiancé.
Sharing an update on their relationship, she described the relationship as “worth saving”, but that the pair were going to take “things slow.”
“I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I’m willing to ride the wave. And that’s not something that everyone wants to do, but it’s something that I’m willing to do because I want my family.”
Has Tommy Fury spoken out since the split?
Tommy Fury posted an Instagram picture hours after Molly-Mae broke her silence on the split.
Under a picture of him tying his laces he wrote, “These last few weeks have been heartbreaking. The false allegations about me have been horrendous, thank you to everybody who has stood by me through this.”
Now, the boxer has admitted that he still has strong feelings for his ex fiancée. While promoting his new book, Fury told Daily Mail, “It is proper love. Do I still love Molly? 100 per cent. I will love her until my final breath.”
In the interview he also shared that any cheating allegations made against him are “completely false.”
“The truth will come out in time and when it does I think a lot of people might regret their actions and unkind words,” he said.
His upcoming autobiography Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life as a Fury, is set to have a chapter written about their split in order to keep it as relevant as possible. The contents of this chapter has been kept quiet until the book’s release on October 10, however an extract from, another chapter of the book shared with the Mail on Sunday details the moment Molly-Mae accused him of cheating just moments before he proposed.
Fury recalls refusing to let his then girlfriend look at pictures on his phone when they were on the way to his organised surprise proposal, for fear she would see a hint in his photos before they arrived.
“She thought I might be messaging another girl. I was fuming. I couldn’t believe she would think that, but I also reminded myself that I was acting shifty, so it was fair enough. Ten minutes before I was due to propose, we were in the middle of this blazing row,” he wrote.
Let’s take a look back at their story.
How did Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury meet?
Molly-Mae and Tommy met on season 5 of UK Love Island in 2019. Molly-Mae entered the villa as a bombshell and the pair connected.
Their comfortability with each other and iconic moments on the show, including a Casa Amor reunion that would almost bring a tear to the eye captivated viewers and solidified them a place in the Love Island final. They finished the series in second place behind Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea, who split shortly after the show.
Molly-Mae and Tommy, however, were in it for the long haul and moved in together quickly after getting back from the Love Island villa.
Do Molly-Mae and Tommy have kids?
In September 2022 the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together. Due to Molly-Mae’s struggle with endometriosis, she was afraid that she would be unable to have children, admitting in a YouTube video that they had been having unprotected sex “that whole time and it had never happened”.
In January 2023 the couple welcomed their daughter, and named her Bambi. The unusual name caused a stir on social media, but Molly-Mae had been very open that the name was always one she wanted to use.
In an Instagram post in March 2023 the mother-of-one wrote a sweet tribute to her young daughter writing, “You’ve made me the best version of myself beautiful girl.”
On July 9 2024 Tommy posted a picture of their family of three with the caption, “My everything in a photo”. While they were content with their unit, the couple were open about not planning more children just yet.
In a Q&A on her Instagram, she was asked about a potential second baby to which she responded, “Not anytime soon”.
Were Tommy and Molly-Mae married?
In July 2023 Tommy proposed to Molly-Mae after four years together.
In a video posted to Molly-Mae’s Instagram the lavish proposal can be seen, taking place on a cliffside in Ibiza. With Bambi present Molly-Mae looked the bridal part dressed in white as Tommy got down on one knee.
“To my perfect fiancé…forever wouldn’t be long enough to call you mine,” Molly Mae wrote in another post from the special day.
The couple had not yet tied the knot but were planning a 2025 wedding according to a Q&A on Molly-Mae’s Instagram.
What happened with Molly-Mae and Tommy?
Over the years, the couple had been subject to cheating rumours and speculation of a split.
Throughout it all they have remained strong and shown that they were still happily together through social media posts and appearances in YouTube vlogs.
However, in August 2024 the couple announced their shock split with statements on Instagram. The breakup came suddenly after Molly Mae’s recent YouTube vlog, which was posted just one week before the split, in which she explained that she had been “solo parenting” for two weeks as Tommy was working hard on his audio book.
“When he’s home from doing work and stuff, he’s so incredible and so helpful. I can’t say any different, like, he’s such an incredible dad, but I have been this week, like, just really… mum life has been mum lifeing.
“I just feel like, at the minute I’ve been struggling a little bit,” she admitted to subscribers.
Why did Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split?
The reason for their split has not yet been announced, however Molly-Mae’s statement saying that she never imagined their story ending, “especially not in this way” has many speculating that there’s more to the story.
A Danish influencer named Milla Corfixen, has since revealed that she shared a kiss with Tommy Fury while in Macedonia despite first denying anything happened between them.
“I’ve had to delete all my posts due to the hate and nasty comments, as stated in the news story I have gave. I didn’t do anything with Tommy Fury,” she said in an Instagram story.
“I didn’t even know who he was we only shared a kiss nothing else happened. And if I’d have known about Molly-Mae I would never have kissed him back,” she added, including the detail that they did share a kiss.
In the sixth episode of her docuseries, Molly-Mae opened up about Tommy’s relationship with drinking.
“He’s just really different these days. Obviously, he knows it’s the drink. He’s not drank now for what, four months? I don’t think the drinks gone away forever. Do I think that drink could still be a problem for us, potentially? Yeah, but I think the break-up showed Tommy that I’m serious. He’s just really different these days.”
The 25-year-old continued, “But, as always, I always say I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t think it’s gonna be a plain sailing future. I don’t, that’s just me being honest. I think we’re still gonna have bumps.”
Has Molly-Mae spoken out since their split announcement?
Molly-Mae broke her silence on Instagram thanking fans for their support two weeks after announcing her split from Tommy Fury.
Posting a picture of herself looking cosy on a balcony surrounded by nature, she wrote, “Thank you for being the best online friends I could’ve ever wished for.”
The influencer has also returned to YouTube since the breakup. In a video posted on Friday 30th August, Molly-Mae opened up to subscribers about the past few weeks.
“The last two weeks have been very very real and it’s real life and it’s something that we’ve been going through as privately as we can but obviously not privately whatsoever because I haven’t really been able to get away from it,” she said.
She explained that she wanted to move forward and not talk about what happened too much.
“This is real life it is not drama, it is not tea and it is not a publicity stunt…this is real life and it’s very sad and it’s very deep.”
“It’s not something that I want to go into or discuss for myself and also out of respect for Tommy because he’s Bambi’s dad and I will always value him and respect him and obviously always have a lot o love for him,” she later added.
The video then documented her life post breakup, taking time to treat herself to a spa day, enjoying time with her daughter Bambi and admitting that she finds mornings, evenings and weekends “horrendous” at the moment.
Before signing off, she thanked her followers for their support.
“I feel so lucky to be doing it with you guys and to just have a huge online family for support,” she said.
