Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has celebrated her on-off partner Tommy Fury on his 26th birthday with an emotional tribute

Molly-Mae Hague has appeared to have finally officially confirmed that she’s back with her ex-fiancé Tommy Fury as she shared an emotional birthday tribute to him on Wednesday.

Professional boxer and former Love Island star Tommy is celebrating his 26th birthday today – and unlike last year, Molly-Mae, 25, didn’t miss out on marking his special day.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Wednesday evening, Molly-Mae finally put the rumours to bed about her and Tommy’s relationship status as she penned an emotional birthday message.

The social media megastar, who shared two-year-old daughter Bambi with Tommy, shared an adorable photo from the family’s recent trip to Dubai.

After admitting that the getaway to Dubai was ‘the best holiday of her life’, Molly-Mae delighted fans as she shared a snippet into her and Tommy’s time with Bambi in the United Arab Emirates.

Alongside an adorable snap of Tommy embracing Bambi while watching the sunset, she wrote: “Happy Birthday to you. You make our little girls world light up.”

Molly-Mae and Tommy shocked fans when they ended their relationship last summer. However, the pair seemingly reunited at the beginning of 2025 when they were pictured sharing a New Year’s Eve kiss, and have since enjoyed holidays to Dubai, Budapest and UK staycation spot Center Parcs.

While they didn’t disclose the reason for breaking up at the time of their split, both Tommy and Molly-Mae have since revealed it was the boxer’s unsteady relationship with alcohol that caused a downward spiral.

During previously released episodes of Molly-Mae’s documentary, she admitted Tommy’s drinking had taken a toll on her and recalled “begging and pleading” him not to drink during family occasions, including her sister Zoe’s wedding. The Maebe founder also admitted she “couldn’t remember” any moments where his drinking didn’t end in “disaster.”

The pair announced their split through individual Instagram statements back in August. “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this,” Molly-Mae told her 8 million followers at the time.

“After five years together I never thought 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.”

“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 reached out to her followers with a heartfelt message as she added: “I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. 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. Molly-Mae x.”

Tommy then posted on his Instagram as he wrote “I am heartbroken to share that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship. The past 5 years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi and I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad.”

At the time, he concluded his post by saying: “Bambi is our priority. Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time”.

The Love Island series 10 star has finally confirmed her romance with Charlton Athletic footballer as she shared a series of loved up snaps of the pair to social media

Love Island’s Ella Thomas has confirmed her relationship with footballer Lloyd Jones, sharing a series of romantic photos on social media. This comes shortly after her ex, Tyrique Hyde, appeared to subtly criticise the new romance.

After weeks of speculation, the 25 year old reality star finally made her relationship with the Charlton Athletic player official on Instagram.

Lloyd was the first to publicly acknowledge their relationship on May 4, when he posted a sweet photo of Ella supporting him as he accepted his club’s Player of the Season award. Now, Ella has reciprocated by posting a series of loved-up photos from a romantic evening together.

In the pictures, the reality star is seen looking stunning in a black halter neck dress, posing for a selfie with her handsome beau at what seems to be an awards ceremony. This was followed by a mirror selfie in an elevator as they headed to the glamorous event.

Ella simply captioned the photos: ‘Recently,’ accompanied by a black heart emoji.

This comes not long after her ex Tyrique, who she met on Love Island, seemed to take a cryptic swipe at her new relationship. Following Lloyd’s post, Tyrique shared a throwback photo of himself in the Love Island confessional on his own Instagram Stories.

In the photo, he’s seen smiling at the camera, but the subtitle underneath reads: ‘Nah, I’m very sad, trust me. ‘ The timing didn’t go unnoticed by fans, with many believing it was a subtle dig or reaction to Ella’s new relationship.

Ella and Tyrique’s relationship was first tested during the tenth series of the dating show, which saw them experience a rollercoaster of emotions. Despite the drama, they left the villa together, seemingly stronger than ever.

However, shortly after their departure, they announced their split in November 2023, before deciding to give their relationship another shot.

Ella and Tyrique had ended their relationship for good after being together for six months. A source revealed to MailOnline: “Ella and Tyrique have decided it’s time to go their separate ways. They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they’re always arguing.”

The couple came third in their summer series of Love Island, missing out on the top two spots to runners-up Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki and winners Jess Harding and Sammy Root.

Earlier this year, Ella hinted at a return to the Love Island villa for the ITV spin-off All Stars by posting a series of suggestive photos on Instagram. She dropped a significant hint that she might be heading to the glamorous villa in South Africa.

Love Island All Stars brings back previous contestants from various series in an attempt to give them another shot at love. Ella tantalised her fans with the possibility of appearing on the show when she took a trip to Cape Town, where the show is filmed.

Sharing a collection of sunny holiday photos on her Instagram, Ella told her followers: ‘out of office’. However, she did not appear on the 2025 series, which was eventually won by Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman.
