As Tommy Fury releases his new memoir Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life As A Fury, the Mirror looks at how ex Molly-Mae Hague reportedly left the boxer ‘humiliated’ after opening up about their sex life
Tommy Fury asked about Molly-Mae cheating rumours
Tommy Fury’s autobiography is now on shelves – and fans will naturally be wondering if it will be as candid as the one penned by his famous ex, Molly-Mae Hague.
Boxer Tommy and Molly-Mae, both 25, dramatically parted ways in August, in what proved to be a shocking turn of events for those who’d followed their love story right from the 2019 series of Love Island. In his eagerly anticipated new book, Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life As A Fury, Tommy has spoken candidly about the sad demise of their once glittering relationship, with a chapter dedicated to the split that rocked Instagram.
Opening up in one heartbreaking section, Tommy admitted he hit ‘rock bottom’ after he and Molly-Mae called it quits. He shared: “The reality of separating from someone I love, and the grief that comes with that, stole my appetite and my sleep, and piled on the stress and anxiety in the time since it happened. I have been at rock bottom personally.”
During their eventful time together, which produced daughter Bambi and a social media empire, Molly-Mae documented many intimate details about their life, including in her own bestselling autobiography. Now, as Tommy reportedly maintains hope of mending their broken engagement, critics have argued that Molly-Mae may have ‘humiliated’ him with one particularly no-holds-barred confession…
In her bestselling 2022 memoir Becoming Molly-Mae, the millionaire influencer got candid about her and Tommy’s bedroom antics, and later admitted they stopped having sex for a long period of time after the birth of Bambi.
Molly told how crippling pain caused by endometriosis meant that intimacy was the last thing on her mind. Stevenage-born Molly wrote: “Before I was with Tommy, I wasn’t really having sex, so I didn’t really think there were any problems other than my period pains. I was suffering horrendous pain – literally feeling like I’d been stabbed in the stomach – just awful. And it was causing me so many issues. Big TMI! But my sex life just became non-existent: it was just not part of our relationship.”
As per the NHS website, endometriosis is a long-term condition whereby tissue similar to the lining of a woman’s womb grows in other areas of the body, including the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Symptoms include unusually heavy and/or painful periods, as well as pain during and after sex.
This wasn’t the only time when Molly levelled with fans about her and Tommy’s intimacy issues. In a frank YouTube video made with sister Zoe, Molly confessed that her ‘sex drive was through the roof’ during her pregnancy, while Tommy wasn’t quite as keen.
Molly admitted: “Some men are really into it [sex when their pregnant partner] or some partners will be… Tommy found it quite uncomfortable the thought that Bambi was in there and I was here. It was just a bit weird.” She added: “I remember when I was pregnant and I wanted to have sex all the time and Tommy didn’t I was like, ‘’Oh do you not find me attractive?’ But I always say to Tommy if I’m not feeling it, ‘’It’s nothing to do with you it’s a me problem’.”
In another more recent vlog, filmed around a year after she gave birth to daughter Bambi, Molly revealed: “Tommy and I, since having Bambi, so coming up to a year now. Tommy and I haven’t had any proper time together, we have date nights and go to the cinema but I don’t really feel like that counts as proper time as a couple – like adult intimate nice quality time together.”
Although some have praised Molly for speaking out on topics many non-famous couples can relate to all too well, others have sympathised with Tommy for having such a private matter aired so publicly. This includes Mail Online columnist Amanda Platell, who has previously penned a piece on the ‘humiliation’ of Tommy.
Blasting Molly’s calls for privacy ‘a bit rich’, Amanda wrote: “When she revealed to millions that they had no sex life, I did feel a shred of sympathy for Tommy. What man wants the world to hear that he has become as celibate as a Trappist monk. It was humiliating.
“The trouble is that to attract and retain those millions of followers who make you so much money – £6million and counting in Molly’s case – you need to keep revealing more and more.”
The Love Island couple, widely regarded as Gen Z’s Charles and Diana, prompted an outpouring of emotion after it was confirmed they’d parted ways, and forensic analysis of Molly’s shock Instagram statement quickly ensued. Showing clear devastation, the tanning entrepreneur wrote: “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.”
Naturally, talk soon turned to why exactly the relationship had imploded just one year after Molly accepted Tommy’s swoon-worthy proposal during a romantic trip to Ibiza. Noting the telling wording of ‘especially this way’, a number of fans found themselves wondering how such a seemingly perfect relationship could have nosedived so sharply in a relatively short period of time.
Tommy has since been forced to deny allegations of cheating, including claims that he was seen smooching a blonde Danish woman in a Macedonia nightclub, with a spokesperson telling the Mirror : “Tommy is horrified by the false allegations of cheating being circulated by the media and he’s consulting his lawyers.”
Now he’s vowed to set the record straight in his book, telling readers: “The truth will come out in time and when it does, I think a lot of people might regret their actions and unkind words. The whole world will I reckon. What the public think is going on isn’t what is going on. It’s not something I envisaged happening, but it didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a thing that was there previously to all of this happening, but the only people who know what is going on in our relationship is me and Molly.”
The Mirror has reached out to the representatives of Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague for comment.
