Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae split - what really went on with those 'cheating' claims?

Tommy Fury recently admitted he had a 'horrible' year afterreceiving backlash on social media over his split fromMolly-Mae Hague. The duo were the UK's 'it couple' after meeting on Love Island in 2019, where they both fell head over heels for each other and became a fan-favourite of the show.

They became one of the strongest couples formed on the dating programme and shared glimpses into their growing romance with eager fans. The two soon moved in together and welcomed daughter, Bambi, now two. When Tommy got down on one knee to propose during a surprise trip to Ibiza in the summer of 2023, fans were over the moon that their favourite couple were finally taking the next step in their relationship.

However, things weren't as they seemed behind closed doors. By the next summer, Molly-Mae shocked the entire showbiz world when she took to her Instagram Stories and announced the couple had split up after five years together. It comes afterTyson Fury's huge net worth is revealed as Morecambe face going out of business.

Split statements

"Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this," Molly-Mae wrote last summer. "After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not in 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 went on to thanks fans for their support over the years, adding: "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."

Tommy soon shared a statement of his own, telling fans: "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.

"Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time." However, internet sleuths couldn't help but wonder what the true reason was behind their shock breakup.

Cheating rumours

Fans questioned the wording in Molly-Mae's statement, questioning why she didn't expect their relationship would end "in this way". Sleuths soon started their deep dive into their split. It wasn't long before rumours swirled that Tommy cheated on the Maebe founder, a claim which Tommy was quick to shut down in multiple statements and interviews.

In an interview withMen's Health UK earlier this year, Tommy said the cheating rumours were 'complete and utter bulls***'. He said: "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."

The TV personality said "cheating was never a thing" as he insisted: "There's been so much s--- in the papers every single day for the past six months, but if it's not come from my mouth or Molly's mouth, it's complete and utter bulls***".

Rumours of him being seen with other women started a few months after the couple got engaged. In November 2023, fans wondered whether they split after videos of him speaking to women in clubs and partying in Dubai with Chris Brown started circulating on TikTok.

Molly-Mae didn't comment on the videos but was seen without her engagement ring.

Danish girl claims

There were also whispers concerning Tommy and a blonde Danish girl he supposedly met while on holiday with friends in North Macedonia. Tommy was said to be "horrified" by the claims, which he insisted were false.

A source told The Sun: "Molly was told he had cheated on with a Danish woman he’d met while he was away in Macedonia. "She didn’t want to believe it was true. When she confronted him and asked if he had cheated on her, Tommy didn’t deny it. It told Molly-Mae all she needed to know, and she ended it. He has moved out of the house and she is absolutely reeling from it all.”

However, the Danish woman in question later came forward with her side of the story, denying that she and Tommy kissed during an early hours drinking session at INclusive, a nightclub in the historic Macedonian city of Ohrid.

Jewellery assistant Milla Corfixen, whose family originates from Macedonia, revealed that Tommy had been a 'proper gentleman' during their hangout together.

In a follow-up interview with The Sun, she explained: "I am the girl but nothing happened. We just had fun. I'm Danish but I am from here also. I don't know what he's been doing but someone else must have kissed him. I have a boyfriend back home."

She shared her desire to talk to Molly-Mae directly about the gossip and continued: "We did not do anything. I would never have done anything with a married man, as he's basically married, with a little child."

Shock TikToker claims

One TikToker by the name of Kay Keogh joined the rumour train and claimed she'd received flirty messages, including fire emojis, from Tommy after meeting him on a night out in Manchester.

She shared a screenshot of the message allegedly sent from his account and told her followers: "I was thinking about whether I should make this video or not, but I am going to. So, me and my friends were out inManchester and we actually met him [Tommy] one night. Basically, we were on a night out with a group of guys and I didn't really put two and two together of who he really was.

"One of the guys asked for myInstagram, which I gave to him. We were all together, but basically after looking at my phone and seeing his name pop up, that's when I realised who he was. Obviously, after I saw his name pop up I was thinking 'What the hell'. Then I obviously realised who he was, but I literally have DMs and I don't know whether I should put them out or not."

The clip cut to screenshotted messages which allegedly showed the boxer sending a flame emoji, to which Kay responded: "??". Kay also claimed Tommy replied: "Are you in Manchester?"

Not long after, Kayadmitted that she had been catfished, as she'd received a message from another account stating they were behind the fake account. She explained that she'd fallen for the messages after attending an event with someone with striking similarities to theLove Island star.

Tommy shuts down cheating rumours

Tommy has denied the cheating claims multiple times, but ahead of the publication of his memoir, he toldMail Online he had hopes of reconciliation as he set the record start.

He said: "Absolutely not. I think if you were going to cheat on someone you should just sit down and say, ‘I don’t love you any more,’ clearly because you want to go and pursue other people.

"When you get to that stage, you should just call it a day. If you want to go out there and have affairs with women then you definitely shouldn’t be with your partner. Definitely not. And have I ever reached that point? No.”

Emphasising that he has never been tempted to stray, Tommy, who vows he'll 'love Molly-Mae until his final breath', went on to praise his ex as the ‘perfect woman’ and ‘perfect mother’. He also expressed his belief that things ‘will work themselves out’, stressing that he ‘100 per cent’ wants his family to be back together once more.

Reconciliation

In December 2024, fans were sent into a frenzy when a video seemingly showing Tommy and Molly-Mae kissing on New Year's Eve went viral. Molly-Mae later discussed the video and told theBBC: "This is a whole new territory for me. Tommy and I.

"Our relationship has always been in the public eye, but to deal with this breakup, with millions of eyes watching, it is hard, it is complicated."

In Spring this year, it was reported the boxer moved back into their Cheshire mansion after pictures showed removal vans spotted at the house he was living in.

Molly-Mae soon confirmed the two reunited for a sunny holiday to Dubai with Bambi, telling fans: "We're just figuring things out. We had a really really amazing time, probably the best holiday ever for all of us."

Tommy details relationship breakdown

Ahead of therelease of his new documentary, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, Tommy sat down for several interviews to discuss his struggles in 2024.

“I had enough drink to last me a lifetime in 2024,” he confessed. "Suddenly, one day, you find that all you can do is sit down and then a few of them (drinks), it takes the pain away. You forget where you are, you forget what's going on. And sometimes you want that feeling all the time, and that's where obviously it starts."

Tommy admitted: “Now, when I look at that person from back then, I don't even recognise that guy. It's just not me. Back then, I didn't really care about anything. It was like theworld going by, wasn't bothered, and that's just not me.”

The boxer hasn't cut drink out of his life, but said he is now barely touching alcohol. “Going forward, if it's a wedding or something like that, I might have a couple of drinks. Four or five times a week is something nobody should be doing," he said.

It was her upping and leaving that really got Tommy into shape. Tommy recalled: “I woke up one morning and everything was gone, Molly and the baby had gone. That was the moment I thought, ‘wow, what's going on?’ And that was the moment where I just started to try and change things around.”

The opening episode of the new programme also showed his dad andboxing trainer, John, admitting that he urged Molly to leave Tommy, believing it was necessary to sober him up.

“I mean, I probably would've walked away from me too,” Tommy said. “It was a tough moment in my life, but everything happens for a reason.

“I'm not happy that I went through that, but I'm grateful for the lessons that I've learned, and I don't think I would've known half of what I know about myself if I never went through that.”
