In the new issue of Cosmopolitan UK, Molly-Mae Hague opens up about the joy of motherhood, and reflects on having daughter Bambi with Tommy Fury at 23 years old.
As she graces the cover of the December/January issue (you can read the full interview here btw) Molly shares her relationship status with boxer Tommy, the journey of kick-starting fashion brand Maebe, and how she feels about motherhood.
Molly has always been honest with her fans about becoming a mum, and how fulfilling her journey has been. She says she felt ready to have Bambi: she’d travelled, worked, built a career and thought she was stepping into marriage. Yet even she acknowledges things can look different with hindsight.
"I felt like I'd lived so much life by 23, I felt really ready for a new chapter," she explained. "Tommy and I were in an incredible place and to have something that was half him, half me, just felt really special. I've never had any regrets about starting a family young.
"But if I could go back and maybe go again, would I have waited a few more years? Potentially. I would love more days to just sit and do absolutely nothing. They were great for my mental health."
The star also touched on the possibility of having another baby, admitting expanding their family is something constantly on her mind.
"I think about it a lot, and I feel a real pressure around it because I’m desperate to give Bambi a sibling," Hague admits, before citing the power of the sibling bond she shares with her older sister, Zoe. "My life wouldn’t have been the same without my sister. I want that for Bambi.
"But I would never want to do it just for her – I would also want to do it because it is something I want to do. At the same time as being a mum, I also have huge career ambitions and when I fell pregnant with Bambi, my biggest goal was that I didn’t want to lose my identity – I didn’t want to lose myself and my goals and my dreams and my business ambitions because I was becoming a mum."
Elsewhere in the cover interview Molly opens up about why she tends to avoid red carpets, her hopes for her fashion brand Maebe and what she's learnt about herself in the last year.
