After teasing fans by both posting holiday snaps from Dubai on Instagram, Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury finally confirmed their reunion last week as they were photographed arriving at Manchester Airport following their sunshine trip with daughter Bambi.
But, following their split last August, we’re told that Molly-Mae has some serious Ts&Cs in place to make sure things work this time around.
‘She’s laid down some pretty strict rules for Tommy if he wants to move back into the family home,’ an insider tells heat.
‘He's not allowed to hide his phone, or leave it face down; passwords are all shared; he's not allowed to go out without her knowing who he’s with, what he’s doing and where he is; he can never put his phone on do not disturb when they're not together; location sharing stays on at all times and she’s asked for full access to his social media. She’s even gone as far as blocking a few of his so-called mates who she doesn’t trust. Molly-Mae’s not taking any prisoners.’
Addressing their getaway in a YouTube video uploaded just days after the pair returned, Molly-Mae called it ‘one of the best holidays that I’ve ever had’. She added, ‘It's obviously not a secret we're just figuring things out. We had a really, really amazing time, probably the best holiday ever for all of us. It's not that I'm hiding [them being back together], I'm not quite ready to talk about it.'
After meeting on the fifth series of Love Island in the summer of 2019, Tommy and Molly-Mae’s relationship moved quickly, with the pair living together by that September. They welcomed their daughter Bambi in January 2023 before getting engaged that July. But, last August, Molly-Mae, 25, shocked fans when she released a statement announcing that she and Tommy, also 25, had split.
It had been rumoured that Tommy had cheated on his fiancée, but earlier this year, the boxer said the real reason for the split was because of his issues with drinking, ‘We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol,’ he admitted. ‘I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be any more.’
Since the split it’s been consistently reported that Tommy was desperate to reunite with Molly-Mae. Last year, he claimed that he would love her ‘until my final breath’, saying that he knew he had to do ‘in order to resolve things’.
Molly-Mae also addressed the split in her Amazon show Molly-Mae: Behind It All, saying, ‘All I want in this life is to be with him, and to have another baby with him, and to grow old as a family… That’s all I want.’ And, as her series returns for part two in spring, naturally fans are expecting to get some answers as to how Tommy managed to win her back.
Our source says, ‘These rules aren’t forever, it just until Molly-Mae knows he is committed. She doesn't want to make him feel like a he’s prisoner, but he offered to do them and he knows if he messes up again, that’ll be it. Molly-Mae thinks there’s a lot trust that needs rebuilding and she’s doing this to future-proof their relationship. Tommy’s fine with it: his priority is Molly-Mae and Bambi, as well as being at home more. He's sworn he’s a changed man and he's showing her that.’
Molly-Mae and Tommy’s confirmation of their reunion comes after intense speculation that the pair were secretly back together following a kiss on NYE. Then, on Valentine’s Day, Tommy shared a photo of himself holding hands with daughter Bambi, with Molly-Mae’s car visible in the background. The Tellingly, the caption read, ‘Life’s been looking up.’
And it seems like the duo have picked up where they left off, with our source revealing they’re even starting to think about wedding planning again. We’re told, ‘They're planning another holiday – they’re looking at Dubai again for their joint birthdays in May. Tommy has also been looking at eternity rings to gift Molly-Mae's, as well as a new dedication tattoo. Dubai is a magical place for them, and is now a contender as a location for their wedding along with Ibiza, where they got engaged.’
