It was love at first sight for the couple, and when allowed to couple up, they made sure to be together throughout their whole journey until the finale, when they got second place. They continued their relationship outside the villa, showcasing how the show’s format worked for them as they became pregnant with their baby girl, Bambi, and got engaged afterward.

It seemed like the perfect fairytale love for the couple, but on August 14, Molly-Mae took to her Instagram stories to announce the split. Even though the couple had been going strong since leaving the villa, in recent months, there have been ongoing speculations about their relationship as Molly-Mae started showing concern for Tommy, who was constantly seen out partying with his friends and leaving her alone with Bambi.

When viewers met Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, they instantly fell in love with their chemistry. From the early days, it could be seen that the two were meant to be together, and viewers were happy to know that they had continued their relationship so strongly, even after leaving the villa. The couple’s love was so strong they even welcomed a baby girl named Bambi into the world and took their love to other levels by getting engaged and planning a 2025 wedding.

On August 14, Molly-Mae took to her Instagram to announce her split from Tommy, which shocked viewers worldwide. Before the split, there had been rumors of the couple struggling ever since the birth of their baby girl. In November 2023, rumors started swirling about a split since Molly was seen without her engagement ring, and Tommy was spotted in Abu Dhabi partying with Chris Brown at a club. Molly-Mae also sparked concern as she stated in her Instagram stories how she was “going through it” mentally, and viewers were concerned for the new mom and her mental health.

In the separation statement, she said, “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.” Molly-Mae will take a social media break after the split announcement to continue focusing on her daughter. Tommy also released a statement on the split: “I am heartbroken to share that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship. The past five years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi and I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad. Bambi is our priority.”
