28/11/2023 - 11:20 AM

If you've been fans of "Love Island" [1], it's likely you've followed Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury's relationship. Since meeting on series five of the reality show in 2019, the influencer and professional boxer are one of the show's most successful love stories. When the villa doors close, not all couples go the distance, but Hague and Fury are one of the most famous "Love Island" couples still together [2].

In the four years since first setting eyes on each other, they have moved in together, supported each other's careers, become parents to baby Bambi [3], and got engaged in Ibiza [4]. With thousands of followers across social media and on Hague's YouTube channel [5], where she regularly updates fans on life as a mum, they have become a couple we are invested in.

While there's no confirmed news of when they're likely to tie the knot, we have no doubt the big day will be just as lavish as some of the other milestone moments they've shared together. Keep reading for the complete relationship timeline for Hague and Fury.

November 2023: Molly-Mae Posts Photos Without Her Engagement Ring

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Hague had posted on her Instagram stories and grid with her engagement ring noticeably missing. While there could be a number of reasons for the lack of bling (ever tried fake tanning while wearing expensive jewellery? No, us neither), concerns has been mounting about the couple as this coincided with Tommy's trip to Dubai. While in the Middle East, he was seen partying with Chris Brown [6] and some women.

Now, we don't mean to alarm you, but having a night out does not mean there are issues in a relationship. Without any comment from the two, gossip is likely to continue to swirl, but we are not suggesting you be too quick to judge.

The Fury's come from a Traveller upbringing, where it is tradition for kids to be taken out of school at 11 and learn life skills from their parents. "With Tommy obviously being a Traveller, he has had conversations with me about our child not going to school, which is absolutely non-optional," Hague says in episode two. "I've been raised completely differently to that; it would never be a question that our children or child would not go to school, but hopefully it won't cause too many rifts."

"I've never known a surprise to be pulled off like this," she said on her YouTube channel. Fury had flown Hague's favourite singer, RuthAnne, to the White Isle to sing "The Vow [9]" as Fury got down on one knee with of view of the sea behind him.

While the couple were in London, their Manchester apartment was broken into. On her YouTube channel, Hague opened up about the ordeal and the violation.

June 2020: Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury’s Dog Dies

Sadly, Hague's puppy passed away just six days after she received the Pomeranian. The dog, named Mr Chai, was ill, and the couple got the call from the vet shortly after who told them of the sad news. They took to Hague's YouTube channel to talk through their grief and talk through the process after being berated for buying the dog from Russia.

"While we understand everyone's opinions about him being shipped over from Russia, you need to understand that this is not what made that baby dog pass away. That's not what made him die," Hague said. "He was going to die regardless. If we had the time again, we would have got a dog from the UK or got a rescue dog from the UK."

September 2019: Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury Move In Together

Just weeks after leaving the show and getting used to their newfound notoriety, the couple moved in together in Manchester. Fury told Cosmopolitan [15] at the time: "Since day one, me and Molly have been real with each other. We've always been really honest with each other. I think that's why we work really well inside the villa and outside the villa. Inside the villa, off-camera - we've never had an argument. We've never had an argument, and we've never said a cross word. So everything has just fallen into place at the right time. Me and Molly have always been really real together."

Hague also bagged a lucrative brand deal [16] with PrettyLittleThing, which marked the start of her partnership with the fashion retailer. She went on to become creative director, before stepping down in 2023. Fury focused on his boxing career, getting stuck into training.

July 2019: Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury Meet on "Love Island"

Fury, an up-and-coming boxer and brother of boxing world champion Tyson, entered the villa on day two of the show as a bombshell alongside Curtis Pritchard. Hague entered a few days later as the first female bombshell, where she got to choose Islanders to join her in the hot tub for a date. And yes, Fury was among the potential suitors.

They soon coupled up and had a relatively stress-free journey. Their strength was rocked a little when Maura Higgins entered the villa and took a liking to Fury, but he remained loyal (and Hague and Higgins have since become firm friends). During the tumultuous Casa Amor week, Hague was worried he might find a new connection, but both returned to each other. (Fury even brought Hague's beloved toy elephant, Elly Belly.)

They made things official in the villa when Fury asked Hague to be his girlfriend on the terrace and the two were tipped to win the series. However, the couple were runners-up to Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea (who split just weeks after winning the series). Despite not getting the crown, Hague and Fury were the series' standout couple.
