Love Island star and PLT's Creative Director, Molly-Mae Hague, managed to keep her pregnancy a secret long after her baby bump started being obvious, and since going public with her and Tommy Fury's happy news, she has been keeping her millions of followers updated about her baby-growing experience. Along the way, Molly-Mae has discussed why she's not able to feel her baby kick and the more unusual pregnancy side effects that she's noticed, too.
Now, the 23-year-old star's older sister, Zoe Hague, has spoken out about the type of parents she thinks Molly-Mae and Tommy will be, even candidly admitting to OK! magazine that she actually cautioned her younger sibling against becoming a mother at a young age. Given that the average age for a woman to have her first child in the UK is 29, Molly-Mae is six years younger than the 'standard' (but of course there's no 'one size fits all' age for everyone, it's such a personal choice).
Zoe also shared that she's protective over her younger sister, who has wanted to have children with Tommy "from day one", and added that she thinks they'll both be "unreal parents".
"Obviously because of all the trouble she's gone through [with her endometriosis], when the time's right, the time's right. I always used to say to her when growing up, because I'm very protective of her, 'Don't be too young [when you have kids]' and she was like, 'Listen, everyone's on their own journey'," Zoe explained. "Just because it's not the way I would have done it – it is completely different to the way someone else would have done it. I just couldn't be happier for her now."
Sharing how Molly-Mae has been coping with her pregnancy, Zoe added, "She's thriving during pregnancy, like, she’s been so lucky (touch wood) from start to finish she’s not been ill. She's doing really well."
Tommy and Molly-Mae are due to welcome a baby girl next year. They haven't shared publicly when her due date is.
