Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague (Season 5)
Status: Broken up.
Tommy and Molly-Mae are perhaps one of Love Island U.K.‘s most popular success stories—until they weren’t. Tommy, an original islander, and Molly-Mae met when Molly-Mae entered the villa on day 4 as a bombshell, stealing Tommy’s attention from his previous partner, Lucie Donlan. After a brief love triangle with fellow islander Maura Higgins, the couple made their relationship official with a teddy bear and a love note from Tommy asking Molly-Mae to be his girlfriend at the end of the season.
The couple finished Love Island U.K. Season 5 in second place before starting their lives in the real world together in Manchester, England. The pair purchased their first home together in March 2022 before welcoming their first child, a daughter named Bambi, in January 2023 and getting engaged in July 2023.
Hague opened up about their wedding plans in a video on her YouTube channel 2024. “We’re currently in the talks of looking for a church to get married at, because we definitely do want to get married in the UK in a traditional Catholic Church,” she said.
Then, in August 2024, Molly-Mae broke off their engagement amid rumors Tommy was cheating on her. “This is real life and it’s very sad and it’s very deep and it just doesn’t feel right for me to come on here and talk about it,” she said. “I think it’s important to deal with it privately, also out of respect to Tommy as well because it’s just not nice. I feel like everything over the last couple of weeks has really been a lot.”
Tommy refuted the cheating rumors in a Men’s Health profile. He told the publication, “All I’ve been seeing for the past six months is ‘Cheater!’, ‘He slept with me!’, ‘He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!’ Complete and utter bollocks. We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. It kills me to say it, but I couldn’t. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.”
He continued, “Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing. You need to get a grip of it. If you’re in the same spot as me, where you just think that it’s going to cure all your problems, it doesn’t. You wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try and feel happy again. That’s the cycle of it.”
