The pair, who are both 25 and found fame on Love Island in 2019, seemed to be living a dream with their whirlwind romance. They had recently purchased a lavish home in Cheshire, celebrated the arrival of their daughter Bambi, and got engaged amidst a romantic setting of roses, making them look like the ultimate power couple.
Tragically, their love story has taken an unexpected turn, with Molly-Mae opening up about her sorrow to her fans, confessing: "I never imagined our story would end, especially this way."
While she kept the details of their split private, Molly-Mae expressed her eternal gratitude for their daughter, reports the Mirror .
On Instagram, she shared her distress on Wednesday, saying: "Never in a million years did I ever think I'd 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 to cherish their bond as parents, stating: "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."
"I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. You have all been 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. Molly-Mae x."
The breakup occurred just hours after Molly-Mae shared about her dreamy vacation and posted pictures of her lodge room on Instagram Stories. She seems to have since removed these posts.
Tommy has expressed his heartbreak over the end of their relationship and followed up with a separate Instagram story less than an hour later. He stated: "I am heartbroken to share that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship."
"The past five years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi and 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."
In his most recent post featuring Molly-Mae and his daughter on his Instagram, Tommy is seen grinning while holding Bambi in his arms. He captioned the photo from July 8: "My everything in a photo."
Another one commented with crying emojis: "Guys who came here from Molly's story." While another asked: "Tommy be honest did u cheat."
Before Tommy popped the question, Molly-Mae had been suspicious of his fidelity. She divulged in a YouTube video last year how Tommy was acting suspiciously with his phone, leading her to believe he might be seeing another woman.
On their way to the proposal site, he refused to let her glimpse a picture on his phone.
The last photo Molly-Mae posted of the two of them before getting engaged was taken at her sister Zoes wedding. Back then, she shared a sweet caption: "A weekend of love. Also celebrating half a decade of me and you."
To which Tommy lovingly responded, "Forever and ever, amen."
Having become a mother, Molly-Mae has openly discussed the challenges she's been facing. Just earlier this month, she confessed feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenting solo while trying to maintain balance in her life.
Opening up to her followers, she admitted: "I, to be honest with you, have been not feeling... like, I mean this week has just been a lot of emotions."
Despite touching on the challenges, Molly-Mae praised Tommy for being a great father when he's around, saying: "When he's home from doing work and stuff, he's so incredible and so helpful. I can't say any different, like, he's such an incredible dad, but I have been this week, like, just really... mum life has been mum lifeing."
She continued to discuss her recent struggles, stating that it's okay to feel this way and explaining that motherhood comes with its fair share of challenges as well as joyous moments. "I feel like we're going through a little bit of a challenging phase," she elaborated.
"Not only with Bambi, but also just with me and trying to juggle a lot."
In May, Molly-Mae had to quash rumors of a split after speculation mounted that the couple had parted ways. She was noticeably absent from Tommy's brother Tyson's boxing match while the rest of the family rallied in support.
Later, Molly-Mae confirmed that she had been attending her sister's hen party.
Shortly after the birth of her daughter Bambi, Molly-Mae broke down in tears in front of fans, confessing that she was "struggling" with her new role as a mother. "I'm trying to be transparent and real about the last two months of my life but I'm also really scared to do that," she confessed, sitting down in a quiet room to address her followers.
Molly-Mae revealed that she had attempted to film a 30-40 minute video to answer all their questions and update them on her first few weeks of motherhood, but found herself at a loss for words.
"I feel like what I'm saying isn't making sense and I just feel like my brain is jumble and just not my brain anymore. I just don't feel myself," she tearfully admitted, visibly upset.
The YouTube sensation opened up to her followers, expressing a deep desire to return to creating content but feeling overwhelmed by the thought of catching up on two months' worth of life updates. Tearfully, she confessed: "I'm so bunged up because I'm so run down and I can't get myself better because, obviously, mum life. This is not the video I had in mind today, but I felt as though I have to post something."
Tommy pulled off a dreamy proposal for Molly-Mae atop a scenic hill, cradling their baby Bambi. Overcome with emotion, Molly-Mae shared footage of the tear-jerking moment, which showed Tommy passing Bambi to her before getting down on one knee amidst a sea of white roses to propose.
When she first posted the video, Molly-Mae added the caption: "Forever. 23/07/23."
Following their breakup news, fans have flooded the comments section of the video, with one fan posting crying emojis and writing: "I acc can't believe it."
Another shared: "no I'm actually gonna cry" while another lamented: "not 'forever'."
