August 2024: Molly-Mae and Tommy announce shock split
After five years together, Molly-Mae shocked her fans on 14th August 2024 by announcing the news that she'd split from Tommy. Sharing a statement to her Instagram Story, Molly seemingly hinted it was her who ended the relationship. Although Tommy shared his own statement shortly after, the pair are yet to confirm the reason for their split.
How old is he?
Tommy was born on the 7th May 1999, making him 24-years-old.
For his 24th birthday, Molly organised a surprise party for her man - inviting all of Tommy's pals to surprise him at a bowling alley! In a vlog uploaded to Molly-Mae's channel, Tommy thanked his girlfriend for an incredible night, branding her the 'best Mrs. in the world'!
Where is Tommy from?
Tommy is from Manchester, same as his brother Tyson, who is listed as being from the borough of Wythenshawe on his Wikipedia page.
What is he doing now?
As well as now being a proud father to his and Molly-Mae's daughter, Tommy has been focusing his efforts back on his true love of boxing. Training alongside his brother Tyson, Tommy took part in an organised fight against Genadij Krajevskij on Friday 13th November 2022, winning by knockout.
Tommy also spent a lot of time preparing to take on the highly-anticipated organised fight with YouTube phenomenon Jake Paul, which he took home the win for. During the weeks where his daughter Bambi arrived into the world, he continued at training camp in anticipation of the fight.
Tommy on Loose Men
The award-winning Loose Women spin-off - Loose Men - returned on 18th May 2023 to mark Mental Health Awareness Week. Tommy made his Loose Men debut as he joined the panel, led by Vernon Kay, alongside The Chase’s Paul Sinha and Greatest Hits Radio presenter, actor/musician Martin Kemp.
The boys discussed a range of 'taboo' topics that affect men right now, including modern masculinity, grooming and intimacy in a relationship. While opening up about his relationship with Molly-Mae, where he highlighted the importance of "communication", he had previously teased a proposal was incoming, before the shock split!
He confessed: "My actual plan was to propose a lot sooner but obviously being a boxer, when you’re in a training camp, you’ve got to completely shut yourself off and focus on the fight. So I can’t be going here, there and everywhere proposing."
After previously hinting that he would propose soon, and Molly even revealing that they have tried on engagement rings, he delighted fans by confirming: "I‘m going to do it soon guys, I really am but it just takes a bit of time!"
Later on in the show, he added: "I’m one hundred percent ready for marriage but as I said, it’s just finding the time!"
Just two months later, Tommy popped the question to Molly-Mae.
Did he win his fight with Jake Paul?
The highly-anticipated fight took place in Saudi Arabia on Sunday 26th February 2023. Fans had waited a long time for the fight to take place, after years of cancellations and postponements.
After eight rounds, Tommy was crowned the winner by split decision. Despite one judge scoring the match 75-74 to Jake, the other two scored it 76-73 to Tommy.
The fight divided opinions, however it was ultimately decided that Tommy was the 'busier' fighter, landing more accurate punches and demonstrating his boxing fundamentals.
After winning the match, Tommy gushed: "For the past two years this is all that has consumed my life. Broke rib, denied access, and everybody thought I was running scared but tonight I made my own legacy. I am Tommy Fury!"
An emotional Tommy continued: "I want to dedicated this fight to my new baby girl, Bambi, at home, my Mrs., I love you, I can't wait to see you, this fight was for you! This belt is for you Bambi, I love you!"

Tommy Fury's boohooMAN edit
After Molly-Mae launched a collection with PrettyLittleThing, Tommy also turned his hand to fashion with the launch of his brand new boohooMAN edit.
Asked if he ever thought he'd have his own edit, Tommy told heatworld: "Seeing as I wear boxers that are one week old and sniff them before I put them on, definitely not; but I'm now considered a fashion man. It's an absolute privilege to be working with boohooMAN and be part of the family."
So what's his favourite piece from the collection, then? "It's got to be the shiny red coat," he said. "With a nice white tee underneath, you can't go wrong for the winter months. It's practical and fashionable, we're killing two birds with one stone."
Is he still friends with Curtis Pritchard?
Before entering the Love Island villa, Tommy was quick to reveal he'd like to find a bromance on the show, something to rival that of 2018 Islanders Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes. He said: "I’ll mingle with people and find out about everyone because at the end of the day I’ll be living with these people for a long time so it’ll be nice to see if I have a bromance in there, along with a relationship. It’s nice to be a bit standout- ish."
Well, it looks like he found just that... In the form of ballroom dancer Curtis Pritchard!
The lads immediately hit it off, entering the villa on Day 2 together! After the show, they continued to be the best of friends and often hung out. They even landed their own spin-off show following Love Island, titled The Boxer and the Ballroom Dancer, which saw the boys switching careers on ITV2.
As of 2023, however, we haven't seen much of the pair together.
Who has Tommy Fury dated?
Tommy was in a two-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Millie Roberts before Love Island, but she claimed that he split up with her so that he could go on the show, even alleging to The Mirror that he'd tried to 'bribe' her with some of the money he'd be earning to go on.
She told the publication: "He swore he wasn’t interested, then a few days later was suggesting he did it and gave me half the money. I said if he thought I was going to watch my man on national TV kissing and doing God knows what with other women then he was crazy."
Who is Tommy's celebrity crush?
It's our girl, Ariana Grande! He exclaimed: "That girl is fire!"
