We have not independently verified these images.
And when Molly-Mae, 25, was asked about it, she neither confirmed nor denied it, instead replying: “It’s completely new territory for me.
“Tommy and I, our relationship has always been in the public eye but dealing with this breakup, with millions of eyes on it, it’s hard, it’s complicated.”
Getty ImagesMolly-Mae and Tommy were arguably the most high-profile couple to emerge from Love Island.
The couple, who were runners-up in the 2019 series of the reality TV show and got engaged in 2023, share a daughter, Bambi. But they split last August.
Molly-Mae said the reason she hasn’t commented on their breakup on social media is because they’re both still navigating it on their own.
He also dismissed speculations that the split was a publicity stunt.
“I think that for me, over all, has been the most frustrating part,” he said.
“I wish it was a publicity stunt, because it would have been so easy. Because it was incredibly difficult to go through all that with the turmoil of the breakup.
“I see comments, people saying it’s just ‘to launch her brand or a publicity stunt’, it’s so painful to read because it’s real life,” she added.
“Tommy and I have a child together, and it’s very, very real and it’s a really hard thing that we’ve both been through in the last six months.”
Shyam AttingMolly-Mae is now starring in a new TV series that explores her life behind the vlog camera.
Molly-Mae: Behind It All is a fly-on-the-wall reality show meets documentary series, with cameras following her around as she raises Bambi, pursues her various business ventures.
She said her main reservation in taking part was the idea of being filmed in her home.
“I didn’t know how I was going to feel,” she said.
Handing over control of the film and editing to others was also a “challenge”, she admits, when she is so used to making her own videos on platforms like YouTube.
“There were parts where I thought, OK, I’ll take it out,” she said.
“But it’s really like, you know, if I get frustrated with Bambi sometimes, it’s real, it’s honest, and it’s raw, and I hope other moms appreciate that. And see that we’re not trying to sugarcoat things here.”
She said that she addresses the break-up in the series.
“It’s very honest what we share with the breakup,” he said.
But she added that it’s “so much more than a break-up documentary” – also focusing on parts of her life she hadn’t looked at before, including motherhood and body confidence.
Despite being a supporter, she admits to feeling “nervous” about how the series ends, but says she has a “thick skin” to help with any negativity.
As for what’s next, Molly-Mae says she hasn’t set any “big goals” for this year, instead wanting to focus on being a mum and running her business.
“2024, a lot of it was about getting through that year, get it done,” he said.
“And 2025, I just want to let go of a lot of things that happened last year, and focus on the positive.”
Molly-Mae: Behind It All episodes 1-3 will launch on Prime Video on January 17, with the next three episodes expected in the spring.
