Tommy Fury recently opened up about the argument he and Molly-Mae Hague had just minutes before he proposed. At the time, the reality star accused him of cheating because he was supposedly acting suspiciously.
In an excerpt from his new book Lightning Can Strike Twice, which he shared with the Daily Mail, Tommy reveals what happened when he got engaged to his Love Island sweetheart last year.
But first! A reminder that the boxer planned a surprise proposal in Ibiza in July 2023, where he waited at a viewing point surrounded by flowers while holding his and Molly’s daughter Bambi. But on the way to the big moment, Molly thought Tommy was cheating on her because he was trying to keep her away from his phone in case it ruined the surprise.
“In the car, Molly asked if she could have a look at the pictures we had taken on my phone. I immediately panicked because if she went on to my camera roll, she would see photos I had just been sent of the setting of our proposal,” he pens in the book.
“She thought I might be messaging another girl. I was fuming. I couldn’t believe she would think that, but I also reminded myself that I was acting shifty, so it was fair enough. Ten minutes before I was due to propose, we were in the middle of this blazing row.”
When they arrived at the destination, Tommy apparently jumped out of the car and ran ahead so he could get into position, while his brother had secretly flown out with their daughter so she, too, could be there for the big moment.
“As I legged it, Molly was almost in tears, thinking I had abandoned her. I had the ring in my pocket and Bambi in my arms. Molly come [sic] round the corner, and then she saw us, the flowers and the ocean view. She started to cry tears of joy, I hoped, and I felt very emotional, too. I kissed Molly, handed her Bambi and gave a little speech before going down on one knee and opening the ring box,” he notes.
Molly and Tommy met in the Love Island villa in 2019 and moved in together after the show wrapped. In January 2023, they welcomed their daughter Bambi into the world, while Tommy proposed last July.
Fans were truly shocked by the news of their split in August 2024, when Molly took to her Instagram Story to share that they had broken up. Here’s hoping both Tommy and Molly are doing okay.
