Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have broken up after five years together. The formerly engaged couple, who share one child together, were runners-up during season five of Love Island.
On August 14, Hague and Fury each shared their respective statements on Instagram announcing their split. “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,” Hague wrote on her Instagram Story.
The 25-year-old influencer said she was “extremely upset to announce” the split but maintained that their one-year-old daughter, Bambi, will “always be my priority.”
Hague thanked her fans “for the love you have shown us over the last five years,” adding: “You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all.”
Fury, also 25, later made his own statement regarding the split, saying he was “heartbroken” but their daughter Bambi was “our priority.”
The former couple welcomed their daughter in January 2023. Fury proposed to Hague in July last year.
Hague was open about her emotional difficulties during her pregnancy
While pregnant with their daughter Bambi, Hague admitted in a YouTube video that she cried “five times a day” and that it was the “emotionally hardest period” of her entire life.
“I just felt like every single day I was living an outer body experience, my emotions were something I’d never experienced before,” she said.
“I cried maybe five times a day for no reason. Just in tears over everything. Also just the shock for Tommy and I. It’s honestly taken up until now to sink in. Every time we talk about it, it feels like we’re talking about a situation that’s not our own because it was a complete shock, I can’t lie.

Fans were outraged that Fury was working while Hague was heavily pregnant
“People have these dream pregnancies where they’re always with their husbands doing baby shopping and cute things, and me and Tommy literally just communicate through FaceTime,” the influencer said on social media at the time. “Because he’s been away so much, he sometimes forgets. I’m like, ‘You do understand I’m two months away… we’re going to have a child.’”
Fans were instantly upset over Hague’s admission, taking to social media to share their concerns.
“I feel so sorry for Molly-Mae spending her pregnancy alone even though Tommy can easily afford to put his career on hold,” wrote one X/Twitter user.
“Primarily communicating via FaceTime when you’re significant other is pregnant is shameful sorry,” said another.
“I actually feel so sorry for Molly-Mae. Say what you want about her but no woman deserves to do their pregnancy journey alone. It’s a time for love and gentleness – not isolation,” shared another.
