To the casual observer, they look like a couple in love: they are both dressed for a wedding, they both have broad smiles on their faces, and he has his arm lovingly around her waist as he holds their baby daughter.
But it would be the last photo of Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury before the couple confirmed on Wednesday that their five-year relationship is over.
They appeared together – and presented a united front – at Molly-Mae’s sister Zoe’s wedding in July.
The couple, who came second on the ITV2 reality dating show in 2019, have decided to call off their engagement after five years.
Molly-Mae, 25, announced her split from Tommy, also 25, in an emotional statement on her Instagram account, telling her 7.9 million followers she is now focusing on their 19-month-old daughter Bambi.

She wrote: ‘I never thought I would ever have to write this.
After five years of being together, I never thought our story would end like this, and certainly not in this way.
‘I am extremely sad to announce that Tommy and I have ended our relationship.
‘I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me, now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.
“I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the past five years. You have all been part of our journey and I feel it is right to share this with all of you.”
Molly-Mae takes a break from social media and work as she tries to adjust to life without Tommy.
She added: “As I try to navigate the coming days and weeks, I kindly ask that you respect my privacy during this difficult time. I will return when it feels right.”
The shocking news comes just two months after Molly-Mae told her Instagram fans that she and the boxer – the younger brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury – were planning to tie the knot in 2025 and that they were closer than ever since becoming parents to Bambi.
She said, “I think Bambi has brought us closer together. When we fight, it’s never really about her! Parenting together, especially lately, has been amazing.”
The couple got engaged in July 2023 when Tommy made a surprise proposal during a trip to Ibiza and gave Molly-Mae a ring worth £600,000.
