Molly Mae fans convinced they’ve spotted ‘real reason’ for Tommy Fury split after ‘clue’ in statement
From Ellie Henman
GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as one Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months the pair had faced off rumours he had a roving eye, after he was spotted partying with women while Molly-Mae was at home holding their baby.
Her statement smacks of something that has yet to come to light.
Although she’s written it with a clever PR eye watching over it, Molly’s devastation spills out in every word.
As I type, my WhatsApp groups are flashing up with texts about how these seemingly rock solid couple have crumbled into nothing.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed – after he pulled an elaborate stunt which ended up with him down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, alongside Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and later their daughter Bambi, appeared to outsiders to be picture perfect.
Molly has built her brand around her wholesome family life with Tommy.
Cosy photographs are carefully curated for her Instagram grid, with her 7.9million followers pouring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I follow on social media for her content, along with a number of my friends, who like me enjoy her girl next door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but there is something shocking about the ending of what on the surface appeared to be such a happy relationship.
Earlier this year, at Soccer Aid, Tommy was cagey when asked about their upcoming wedding plans by one of my colleagues.
It wasn’t altogether too strange, as most blokes aren’t overly keen to chat about their missus when they’re with their mates playing football, but it was a definite gear change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, as he was always so gushing about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a number of Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths, will be combing the internet and social media for clues now.
And given the number of calls coming into our desk, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae ended things with Tommy will come to light in the next few hours.
As a genuine fan and a follower of hers, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Break ups suck at the best of times. But when you’re in the public eye, and you choose to announce your split so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – it is a hell of a lot harder.
