Why did Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Fury split?

Molly Mae announced that her and Tommy Fury had broken up in a statement to her Instagram stories on Wednesday 14 August.

The 25-year-old seemingly explained that something 'unexpected' happened which caused the break up due to her charged statement.

It reads: “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.”

She continued by mentioning her daughter Bambi: “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.”

Molly Mae then said she would be taking some time off to process the break up, and thanked her millions of followers for their support.

Tommy's statement was slightly different, and claimed the split was a mutual decision between him and Molly: “I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship."

Tommy Fury is the younger brother of boxer Tyson Fury, who is one of the world's most prominent boxers.

The shock announcement has come less than a month after Molly Mae shared a sweet reel of the pair's one-year engagement anniversary, where Tommy tricked her to go on a fake brand trip in order to propose.
