Tommy Fury finally reveals 'real reason' for Molly-Mae Hague split as he denies cheating claims

Tommy Fury has finally confirmed why he and Molly-Mae Hague split after he was hounded by cheating claims. The former Love Island stars confirmed they had parted ways last summer.

As fans of the pair know, they met and fell in love on the ITV2 dating show in 2019 before going on to welcome their first child together, Bambi, in January 2023. Tommy later popped the question in a romantic Ibiza proposal and they were planning to the tie the knot.

But after they had just celebrated their anniversary and 12 months since they'd agreed to marry, they announced they were going their separate ways. Molly-Mae announced the break-up on Instagram, with Tommy following shortly after with a separate statement on social media.

While Tommy has given interviews since, while more recently Molly-Mae has opened up and is set to bare all in a new Amazon Prime series, neither has given the exact reason for the split - until now.

Speaking to Men's Health, the boxer confirmed: "We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.

"People go through different things in life. I’m 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world. It was talked about on Good Morning Britain and I’ve received so much hate for it. The most upsetting thing is that not once did anyone say, ‘Oh, he might be going through something a bit more serious. He might be in a bad spot.’ Not one person said that."

He added: "Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing. You need to get a grip of it. If you're in the same spot as me, where you just think that it's going to cure all your problems, it doesn’t. You wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try and feel happy again. That's the cycle of it."

Tommy said that he'd 'got myself out of that now' and wanted to 'do my fights, earn my money, and look after my daughter', promising that he was 'going to get back in the ring real soon' and vowed 'to pick up where I left off'.
