We Finally Know Why Tommy Fury & Molly-Mae Hague Split Up!

Reality television personality Tommy Fury has disclosed the reasons behind the dissolution of his engagement to Molly-Mae Hague, asserting that it was not related to infidelity.

In a recent interview, the former Love Island contestant attributed the breakup, which occurred last year, to his struggle with alcohol dependency following a boxing injury. He firmly denied any allegations of cheating on the mother of his child, dismissing the rumors and online conjecture as "complete and utter nonsense."

Tommy and Molly-Mae first crossed paths in the Love Island villa in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Bambi Fury, in January 2023. Tommy proposed a few months later, but in August of the same year, fans were taken aback when Molly-Mae announced the end of their engagement.

Nevertheless, the couple was recently seen sharing a kiss at a glamorous New Year's Eve celebration, suggesting a potential reconciliation, coinciding with the launch of Molly-Mae's new series on Amazon Prime. Amidst speculation that their breakup was a publicity stunt, Tommy has clarified the reasons for their separation last year.

"The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore," Tommy tells Men's Health Magazine. "It kills me to say it, [but] it’s true, I couldn’t. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink, and it is what it is. People go through different things in life and we all have our crosses to bear. I’ve got mine to bear."

Tommy subsequently elaborates to the publication on how his struggles with alcohol commenced following the injury to the ligaments in his hand in 2019, which ultimately resulted in reconstructive surgery at the beginning of the previous year. He confesses that his "mental health was in a dire state" post-surgery, and he experienced a sense of loss regarding his identity when he was unable to box or engage in training.

"I’ve only lived for training and my family, and that was all snatched away from me. So what I did for fun is I started to drink quite a lot. I found that's what made me feel better," the dad-of-one recalls. "I wanted the endorphins that I’d get when I’d finish a good session, when I’d finish sparring, when I’d finish fighting."

He acknowledges that his relationship with Molly-Mae began to deteriorate due to his excessive drinking episodes, which included partying with the controversial American singer Chris Brown in August. Despite experiencing a challenging period, he asserts that he never betrayed Molly-Mae and continued to nurture his close bond with their young daughter.

"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," Tommy says. "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."

Molly-Mae has openly acknowledged that her relationship with alcohol is not the most positive, which is why she seldom consumes it. In her memoir published in 2022, titled Becoming Molly-Mae, she recounts her mother's struggles with alcohol following a divorce. At the age of 14, Molly-Mae experienced the separation of her parents, Stephen Hague and Debbie Gordon, which left her feeling "heartbroken" and as though her "greatest fear had come true."

The time following her parents' separation was exceptionally challenging, she confesses in her memoir, Becoming Molly-Mae. She elaborates on how her mother began to "playing catch-up in terms of what she missed out on" engaging with dating platforms and embracing social outings. In that first year after the divorce, Mum really struggled. For a very short while just after the divorce, she turned to alcohol to cope with the pain of the breakdown of their marriage," Molly-Mae shares.

"Which sort of explains why I am the way I am with alcohol - I pretty much avoid it. I associate these difficult times after my parents' divorce with alcohol being involved and my mum drinking too much - understandably, because her marriage had broken down." The Instagram influencer admits that she felt a responsibility to look after her mother for a certain period, characterizing that time as a "kind of role reversal."

Molly-Mae, aged 25, has subtly indicated that recent developments in her relationship with Tommy, also 25, have been documented for her upcoming film. The Love Island alum was spotted sharing a kiss with her former fiancé on New Year's Eve and has affirmed in a recent YouTube vlog that cameras continue to capture the authenticity of her life for the project titled Molly-Mae: Behind It All. She further implied that the Amazon filming team hurried to her residence to document events following a "crisis."

In her vlog, Molly-Mae revealed: "The documentary is six episodes, and the first three drop on the 17th of this month with Amazon Prime. And then we're currently in the process of filming the secondary lot of three which will drop a couple of months later. So yeah, still filming. I had a nice break, I actually filmed for the first time again - was it last night or the night before? When a little bit of a - not a crisis broke out, but, you know, another day in the office."

The reality television figure subtly remarked, "It's very light with the filming, it's very reactive and real-time, and if cameras need to come around at 10 o'clock at night to film some realness, then that's what we've got to do! " Although Molly-Mae has suggested that her reunion with Tommy may be included in the documentary and emphasized its authenticity, some fans expressed their frustration upon discovering details about their New Year's Eve kiss.

The timing of the couple's reunion has generated considerable debate among fans, with some claiming that they never genuinely parted ways and that the entire situation was merely a publicity tactic. On Twitter (X), one fan remarked: "Well she fooled everyone. Funny how they are back together now his book is out, her clothing brand and now documentary is done. Played everyone like a fool all for more money."

Another user added: "Using the 'breakup' as PR for Maebe, Tommy's book and documentary. But snogging Tommy on NYE? Convenient! ! ! " "IT WAS ALL A PR STUNT. Well played; So the breakup WAS fake? ? " fumed a third, while a fourth alleged: "They didn't even really split, money money money."

Insiders maintain that the reunion between Molly-Mae and Tommy was genuine, with Molly-Mae nurturing aspirations that it could lead to a lasting future together. "She's never stopped loving Tommy. Everyone in Molly's circle were convinced that they had split for good and they are wary of her getting back with him because of how much he hurt her. Molly insists they're taking things slowly and still get on because of Bambi, but the truth is she has never stopped loving him and it is still her dream to marry him and have more kids."

Insiders have disclosed that Molly-Mae Hague is maintaining a composed demeanor regarding the possibility of reigniting a romantic relationship, asserting: "She's not stupid and she would only let Tommy back into her life in a romantic way if she felt she could fully trust him - and he still has a long way to go to build up that trust again. But he has said he'll do anything to win her back and will happily follow her rules in a bid to win her back and move home."

Tommy Fury’s candid revelation about his struggles with alcohol and the impact it had on his relationship with Molly-Mae Hague demonstrates his commitment to personal growth. By acknowledging his past mistakes and seeking help, Tommy has shown immense strength and self-awareness.
