Molly-Mae Hague has spoken about her split with Tommy Fury in a video, saying: “It is not drama, it is not tea, it is not a publicity stunt”.
The couple, who met during the 2019 series of ITV2 reality show Love Island, announced the break-up in separate social media posts earlier this month.
In January last year, the 25-year-olds had welcomed the birth of their only child, a daughter named Bambi.
“The last two weeks have been very, very real,” the reality TV star and influencer said during the 36-minute video.
“It’s real life, something that we have been going through as privately as we can, but obviously not privately whatsoever because I haven’t really been able to get away from it in the last couple of weeks. And the last thing I want to do is come on here and fuel that more.”
She added: “I don’t really ever plan on talking about the past couple of weeks, it’s not something I feel comfortable with.
“Like I say this is real life. It is not drama, it is not tea it is not a publicity stunt, as much as I wish it was. This is real life and very sad and it’s very deep.”
She said she would not comment further out of respect to Fury, “because it’s just not nice”, adding: “And I feel like everything over the last couple of weeks… it’s been a lot and been blown way out of proportion.
“It’s all gotten a bit carried away with itself. And the last thing I want to do is be fuelling that fire anymore and stirring the pot when it doesn’t need to be stirred.”
Speaking of Fury, Hague said: “He is Bambi’s dad and I will always value him and respect him and obviously always have a lot of love for him. We were together for five years and it is very, very sad.”
She went on to thank fans “from the bottom of my heart for being the best online friends I could have asked for”.
Fury says speculation has been ‘horrendous’
Earlier this week Fury said speculation over the split has been “horrendous”.
“These last few weeks have been heartbreaking,” the professional boxer wrote on Instagram.
“The false allegations about me have been horrendous, thank you to everybody who has stood by me through this.”

Hague also thanked her fans for their support in the wake of the break-up.
She posted a photo of herself leaning on a wooden railing overlooking a body of water on Instagram with the caption: “Thank you for being the best online friends I could’ve ever wished for.”
The influencer announced their split in an Instagram story earlier this month, saying: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this.
“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.
“I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter.
“Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”
