Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury announce they've broken up

Former Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have announced their shock split after five years together.

The couple first laid eyes on each other during the 2019 season of ITV2's reality dating show Love Island, going on to finish the show in second place.

Since leaving the show, the pair moved in together in Manchester and appeared to be going from strength to strength.

In January 2023, the pair announced they had welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Bambi, before later announcing their engagement via a black-and-white video the following July.

Molly-Mae announced the shock news today (14 August) via a statement on her Instagram Stories, which can be read in full below:

"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.

"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."

The break-up news follows reports of their relationship being strained, with the 25-year-old influencer revealing in a recent heartfelt vlog that she felt as though she was 'solo parenting' due to Tommy's busy schedule as a boxer.

"I have been solo parenting pretty much the entire week," Molly said in the candid vlog.

"Actually I've been solo parenting for like, two weeks now, basically because Tommy's just been so busy."

She continued: "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."

Tommy recently announced a shock change of career, revealing that he had written his debut book Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life as a Fury which will be released in October.
