However, today, Molly-Mae released a shock statement that informed her fans that their relationship was over.

’ She continued: ‘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. ‘I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.

Molly-Mae x.’ They first met on the 2019 series of Love Island, where they were runners-up to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea , and were the only couple still together from that year. From house moves and health scares to babies, engagements and split rumours , Molly-Mae and Tommy have been through a lot before calling time on their romance.
June 2019 – Love Island kicks off Tommy was an original contestant on the 2019 series of Love Island, but bombshell Molly-Mae entered slightly later, on day four of the competition. Molly-Mae whisked Tommy off to a hot tub date, and they instantly felt a spark. They coupled up together the next day but initially continued to explore other connections.
However, they couldn’t deny their feelings for each other for very long and frequently declared their love for one another. When Tommy came back from Casa Amor alone, it sparked a very emotional reunion between the pair and a moment that has gone down in Love Island history. In another romantic gesture, Tommy asked Molly-Mae to be his girlfriend using her beloved childhood teddy – Ellie Belly.
He placed a note on top of the adorable cuddly toy which read: ‘Dear Mummy...
He wanted me to tell you that you are his everything, and I’m going to leave it with daddy so-‘ Tommy then made things official. Despite their sweet declarations, the public wasn’t entirely convinced with Molly-Mae. She was even given the nickname Money-Mae with accusations she was after the Fury cash fund.
July 2019 – Molly-Mae and Tommy finish runners-up on Love Island Despite their rock-solid foundations and popularity, the duo narrowly missed out on taking the Love Island crown, finishing in second place instead. The crown went to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea (who had arrived in the villa just two weeks before) and they split five weeks later.

May 2020 – Mr Chai’s unfortunate death On her 21st birthday, Tommy gifted Molly-Mae a pomeranian dog called Mr Chai, but just days later their pet sadly passed away following a seizure and various health issues.
Some people criticised Molly-Mae and Tommy for shipping Mr Chai from Russia, instead of adopting an unwanted animal from the UK. They decided to post a video to YouTube following the backlash. ‘People that are saying we bought him for Instagram likes, please stop saying that,’ Molly-Mae said.
‘Our lives are on social media, my full-time job is to show you guys what I’m doing. If I didn’t have Instagram, he wouldn’t be on Instagram. ‘We’re not asking for any kind of sympathy.
What’s happened is awful. I’m asking you to understand that the dog travelling from Russia is not the reason he died.’ Later reflecting on the tragic situation, Molly-Mae told The Sun : ‘If we had our chance again, we wouldn’t have imported from Russia.
