Molly is being supported by her pal, WAG Anouska Santos, following her shock split from Tommy Fury. The Sun can exclusively reveal that Anouska, who dates Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw , has been Molly's rock in recent days. Insiders tell us that Anouska was with Molly at the home she shared with Tommy today, when she posted the statement about their split A friend said: "Anouska is like a rock for Molly and she was there with her today when she pressed post on her split statement " Molly wanted a steady hand by her side and Anouska has been a great support to her.
"She has told Molly that she will always be there to help and has offered to help out with Bambi at the drop of a hat. "Molly is going through hell and friends like Anouska is exactly what she needs." The YouTube star stunned fans by announcing their Love Island romance is over in an emotional statement earlier today.
"Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this," Molly-Mae said, just five weeks after celebrating half a decade together. "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." Molly-Mae added: "I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.
"You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it's right to share this with you all. "Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks, please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time. BY Ellie Henman, Bizarre Editor GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected. In recent months, the pair had faced rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women - all 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 this 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 getting down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, complete with Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and, later, the arrival of 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 poring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life. In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I, along with a number of my friends, follow on social media for 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 now be combing the internet and social media for clues. 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 follower, 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 – they are a hell of a lot harder. "I'll be back when it feels right," she finished, before signing off with her name and a kiss.
Soon afterwards, Tommy shared a statement of his own. "I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship," he posted on instagram. "The past 5 years have led us to having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will forever be thankful to Molly for making me a dad.
"Bambi is our priority." He continued: "Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time." From Love Island to a diamond ring and baby - we look at how Molly and Tommy have got to where they are today.
