The couple, who met on the popular dating series, shocked fans when they announced Wednesday that they were ending their relationship after five years together.
It’s only been a few days since Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury shocked Love Island fans with the news they were calling off their engagement and speculation as to the cause for their split has already begun swirling.
Totally unverified cheating speculation has been endless on social media since the news dropped — and now, Tommy is stepping into the ring to shut down the gossip.
In a statement via his rep, the 25-year-old told The Mirror he’s “distraught” by allegations of his infidelity, as he says that couldn’t be “further from the truth.”

“Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this. After five years of being together I never imaged our story would end, especially not in this way,” Molly shared in her Aug. 14 Instagram Story announcement to fans. “I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.”
She continued, “I will forever be grateful for the most important thing now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”

Tommy and Molly met on season 5 of the popular dating competition series, Love Island U.K., where they finished in second place. They would go on to date, move in together, and welcome their daughter in January 2023, with Tommy proposing six months later in July.
The breakup news comes on the heels of Molly re-posting a video to celebrate the one year anniversary of the couple’s engagement, in which Tommy surprised Molly and their daughter Bambi, with a proposal.
The post, now, has served as a sit for fans to share their shock over the breakup, with many lending their support to the former Pretty Little Thing creative director in the comments.
