Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s break up rocked the nation and Love Island fans worldwide – but what happened and what have they said?

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury split after five years together and just one year after getting engaged. They’d also just welcomed their baby girl Bambi in January 2023, so news of their breakup has left the nation, particularly Love Island fans, in shock after they became one of the most successful couples following their time on the show.

The reason for their breakup is yet to be revealed, but Molly’s original statement appears to suggest it was a sudden decision, especially as just days prior to their split she posted a throwback on Instagram to the moment they got engaged in Ibiza.

Tommy got down on one knee in July 2023, pulling off the ultimate surprise and hiring her favourite singer to sing ‘The Vow’, the song that played on Love Island during a montage of their journey, as he popped the question while she held their little girl in her arms.

Fast forward to a year on and the couple have broken up, issuing separate statements to announce the end of their relationship and engagement. But what happened? Here’s everything they’ve said about their split so far.

What has Tommy Fury said about his breakup from Molly-Mae?

A few hours after Molly shocked her millions of fans with their breakup announcement, Tommy posted a separate statement to confirm the news.

He wrote: “I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship. The past 5 years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi & I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad. Bambi is our priority.”

He added: “Please respect our privacy, and our families’ privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time.”

The day after Molly posted on Instagram for the first time since the split, Tommy shared his own picture him in the gym tying his laces with the caption: "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."

What else has Molly-Mae said about her breakup from Tommy?

Two weeks after their respective statements both Molly and Tommy spoke out for the first time, Molly went first, thanking her fans for "being the best online friends" and a day later Tommy followed suit taking to his socials to address the break up and accusations of cheating that have been hurled against him.

After two weeks of not posting on her socials, Molly shared a picture of her over looking a lake with the caption, 'Thank you for being the best online friends I could’ve ever wished for' accompanied by a white heart emoji.

A couple of days later she made a return to her YouTube channel, where she said she wouldn't be addressing what had happened publicly for herself and also "out of respect for Tommy".

She said: "He's Bambi's dad, I will always value him, and respect him and obviously have a lot of love for him."

In the video she made it clear that she wants to "move on" and "keep pressing forward" following the split. She said she wasn't "sweeping it under the rug" as she explained that in her off-camera life she was dealing with what had happened with her close friends and family.

Molly also opened up about how the break up had impacted their one-year-old daughter Bambi. "I feel so incredibly close to her at the minute, and she's quite frankly obsessed with me, it's scary," the mum started.

"I literally can't go to the toilet, or leave the room or anything without her crying her eyes out which is not really ideal. I think she is actually having a little bit of attachment issues at the minute.

"I think she can definitely sense that there's changes and [that] things are strange at the minute, I can really feel that she can sense that."

The former Love Island star said that the "hardest part" about the split has been the weekends. Alluding to her and Tommy's co-parenting set up she said: "I'm kind of dreading this weekend because I feel like weekends are crap, like when you're going through a break up, I feel like weekends are literally the worse.

"Because weekends were always something for me [that] I always really to looked forward to, especially with your own family because its family time and it's like memory making time

She went on: "I feel like weekends now are like the hardest time because it's frickin' lonely and just sad."

Molly-Mae’s breakup statement

Molly-Mae’s split statement, posted on 14th August, appeared to hint their decision to breakup was a very recent decision.

She wrote on Stories: “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.”

She added: “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.”

Days prior to their split Molly posted a video on YouTube revealing she felt like she was solo-parenting as Tommy was busy with work.

In the emotional admission she said: “I, to be honest with you, have been not feeling… like, I mean this week has just been a lot of emotions.”

Molly-Mae added that Tommy had been busy recording his audio book: “He’s done it now, and I’m so proud of him because I know that was a really big deal to him, but I have been solo parenting pretty much the entire week. Actually I’ve been solo parenting for like, two weeks now, basically because Tommy’s just been so busy.”

“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 life-ing.”

Molly said she wanted to share her struggles in the hope other people might relate, adding she felt like they were going through a ‘bit of a challenging phase’ as she tried to juggle a lot.
