Reality television star Molly-Mae Hague and professional boxer Tommy Fury have announced that they are expecting their second child, marking another milestone in a relationship that has played out in the public eye since their days on ITV2’s Love Island. The news, shared on February 5, 2026, via Instagram, was accompanied by a heartfelt video featuring the couple at home with their three-year-old daughter Bambi. In the clip, Bambi beams and declares, “I’m going to be a big sister,” while wearing a jumper with those very words stitched across the front, as reported by Digital Spy. The post, which included footage taken the previous week, showed Molly-Mae’s visible baby bump, the family sharing kisses, and a sense of joy that resonated with fans and friends alike.
The announcement didn’t come as a complete surprise to Molly-Mae’s dedicated followers, who had been speculating for weeks about a possible pregnancy. According to the Daily Mail, eagle-eyed fans picked up on subtle clues: Molly-Mae sipping peppermint tea instead of coffee, her choice of baggy clothing in recent posts, and even a fleeting glimpse of her baby bump reflected in a kitchen window during a vlog. In January, she posted photos from a Maldives getaway, and fans were quick to question if she might be expecting again based on her appearance. Even her new haircut, shared in a recent Instagram update, drew comments from followers convinced that a new chapter was on the horizon for the young family.
Family celebrations added fuel to the speculation. In November 2025, Tommy’s father John and brother Tyson Fury were seen clinking glasses with him in a Cheshire pub, a moment onlookers described as a clear celebration of “some kind of milestone,” as reported by the Daily Mail. Around the same time, Molly-Mae posted a photo of Bambi smiling at a cake decorated with the words “New Chapter, Same Us,” a cryptic nod to the changes ahead. All these hints culminated in the official reveal, which was met with a flood of congratulatory messages from friends, family, and fellow celebrities.
Among the many who celebrated the news were familiar faces from the Love Island universe and beyond. Paris Fury, Tommy’s sister, commented, “Congratulations and you look amazing. Super mum and running her own empire.” TV presenter Rochelle Humes described it as “gorgeous news,” while other Love Island alumni, including Tom Clare, Molly Smith, Zara McDermott, and Jess Harding, chimed in with their excitement and well-wishes. The overwhelming support underscored how invested the public has become in Molly-Mae and Tommy’s journey, from their reality TV beginnings to their growing family.
Their relationship, which began during the fifth season of Love Island in 2019, has weathered its share of ups and downs. The couple welcomed Bambi in 2023 and got engaged that same year. However, in 2024, they experienced a nine-month split, which both attributed to Tommy’s struggles with drinking. Molly-Mae was candid about the difficulties they faced, stating at the time, “I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.” But by May 2025, the pair had rekindled their relationship, with Molly-Mae sharing that Tommy had been sober for four months and that things were looking much brighter. Their reconciliation was documented in the second season of Molly-Mae’s Prime Video docuseries, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which offered fans a behind-the-scenes look at their journey back to one another.
Molly-Mae has always been open about the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. She has described her first experience with childbirth as “excruciating,” recounting how she spent five to six hours in intense pain before receiving an epidural. “I spent five to six hours rolling around in the bed crying in agony,” she told fans during a Q&A session. The relief brought by the epidural allowed her to enjoy the final stage of labor, but the weeks that followed were anything but easy. She struggled to produce breast milk and admitted to crying daily during the early days of her first pregnancy. “I’m not going to beat around the bush... I was not prepared,” she confessed, adding, “She’s completely and utterly worth it all though. Every single hard moment!”
These honest revelations have endeared her to many, especially mothers who recognize the often-unspoken difficulties of early parenthood. In a vlog on her YouTube channel, Molly-Mae reflected on the “pressure” she felt to give Bambi a sibling, noting her own close bond with her older sister Zoe as a significant influence. “It terrifies me the thought of Bambi growing up without a sister,” she explained. “I wouldn’t be who I am without Zoe and it makes me feel a bit emotional.” Yet, she was clear that her decision to have another child wasn’t just about Bambi. “I would want a second child because it is something I want to do,” she said, emphasizing that she didn’t want to feel pressured by outside expectations.
Despite her excitement about expanding her family, Molly-Mae has admitted to lingering fears about the newborn stage. “If I saw a positive pregnancy test now I would be terrified,” she revealed in a candid moment. “If I was to pop out a baby and it was a two-year-old like Bambi now, give me 100, I can handle it. But I found the newborn stage so unbelievably difficult and daunting and looking back I can’t really say that there was any part of it that I enjoyed.” Her vulnerability has struck a chord with many, highlighting the complexities and anxieties that can accompany motherhood—even for those in the spotlight.
As Molly-Mae and Tommy prepare to welcome their second child, they do so with the support of a devoted fan base and a growing family network. Their story, from reality TV romance to real-life resilience, continues to captivate audiences who have followed every twist and turn. With another baby on the way, the next chapter promises new joys, fresh challenges, and—undoubtedly—a few more surprises along the way.
