From “Love Island” to Parents, Look Back at Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s Romance

Netflix premiered “At Home With the Furys” in August, a reality show following boxing champion, and Tommy’s brother, Tyson Fury and his growing family. Hague and Fury featured in the series and, in one exchange, give a little insight into their parenting views.

The Furys come from a Traveller upbringing, where it is tradition for kids to be taken out of school at 11 and learn life skills from their parents. “With Tommy obviously being a Traveller, he has had conversations with me about our child not going to school which is absolutely non-optional,” Hague says in episode 2. “I’ve been raised completely differently to that, it would never be a question that our children or child would not go to school, but hopefully it won’t cause too many rifts.”

In the weeks after Bambi’s birth, Hague admitted Fury was absent a lot of time while training for his boxing match with Jake Paul. On 26 Feb., he defeated the YouTuber and dedicated his win to his family. “I want to dedicate this fight to my new baby girl Bambi at home and my missus. I love you and I can’t wait to see you,” he said after the fight ended. The 23-year-old added, “This fight is for you, Bambi, I love you.”

The couple surprised followers by posting an emotional video on Instagram on 25 Sept. reminiscing over their final date in the “Love Island” villa. The video then cut to a scene of Fury kissing Hague’s blossoming bump. They captioned the post: “I can’t wait for the adventures that we haven’t even dreamed of yet.”

A week later, on 5 October, they revealed they were expecting a baby girl. Via video of Fury popping a balloon to reveal pink confetti, the couple were met with excitement in the comments from friends, family, and celebrities.

Months later, the couple bought a new home after months of house-hunting. They set about decorating and, we have to say, it’s impressive. With an oval office, walk-in wardrobe, and neutral aesthetic, the house is pristine.

While the couple were in London, their Manchester apartment was broken into. On her YouTube channel, Hague opened up about the ordeal and the violation. “It was without a doubt the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, to us, I’d probably say. It was just awful, horrendous, terrible. So, we have been dealing with a lot,” she said.

Despite the country being put into lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Fury ensured his girlfriend got to celebrate her big birthday in the sweetest way. While it got off to a rocky start when Fury set the fire alarm off in their apartment building while trying to cook pizza, Hague was finally met with a ceiling full of balloons, a four-tier cake, and a horde of presents including a Cartier ring, reportedly worth £4000, and a puppy.

Just weeks after leaving the show and getting used to their newfound notoriety, the couple moved in together in Manchester. Fury told Cosmopolitan at the time: “Since day one, me and Molly have been real with each other. We’ve always been really honest with each other. I think that’s why we work really well inside the villa and outside the villa. Inside the villa, off-camera – we’ve never had an argument. We’ve never had an argument, and we’ve never said a cross word. So everything has just fallen into place at the right time. Me and Molly have always been really real together.”

Hague also bagged a lucrative brand deal with PrettyLittleThing, which marked the start of her partnership with the fashion retailer. She went on to become Creative Director, before stepping down in 2023. Fury focused on his boxing career, getting stuck into training.

Fury, an up-and-coming boxer and brother of boxing world champion Tyson, entered the villa on day two of the show as a bombshell alongside Curtis Pritchard. Hague entered a few days later as the first female bombshell where she got to choose Islanders to join her in the hot tub for a date. And yes, Fury was among the potential suitors.

They soon coupled up and had a relatively stress-free journey. Their strength was rocked a little when Maura Higgins entered the villa and took a liking to Fury, but he remained loyal (and Hague and Higgins have since become firm friends). During the tumultuous Casa Amor week, Hague was worried he might find a new connection, but both returned to each other (Fury even brough Hague’s beloved toy elephant, Elly Belly).

They made things official in the villa when Fury asked Hague to be his girlfriend on the terrace and the two were tipped to win the series. However, the couple were runners-up to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea (who split just weeks after winning the series). Despite not getting the crown, Hague and Fury were the series’ standout couple.
