Professional boxer Tommy Fury has described speculation over his break-up with reality TV star and influencer Molly-Mae Hague as “horrendous”.
The couple, who met on ITV dating show Love Island, announced they had split in separate social media messages earlier this month, with fans flocking to support Hague online.
“These last few weeks have been heartbreaking”, 25-year-old Fury wrote on Instagram on Wednesday.
“The false allegations about me have been horrendous, thank you to everybody who has stood by me through this.”
It follows speculation over the reasons the relationship ended.
On Tuesday, Hague posted a photo of herself leaning on a wooden railing, overlooking a body of water, on Instagram with the caption: “Thank you for being the best online friends I could’ve ever wished for.”
Hague and Fury, who were the runners-up of Love Island season five in 2019, became engaged in July 2023 and have a daughter together named Bambi.
On August 14th, Hague announced their split in an Instagram story, saying: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this.
“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.
“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 last five years. You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all.
“Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I’ll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae x.”
Fury posted a separate Instagram story less than an hour later which said was “heartbroken” to share the news, adding that Bambi was their “priority”.
The professional boxer, from Manchester, proposed last year at a mountainous seaside location, which was decorated with hundreds of flowers and petals.
The former couple also starred in the Netflix reality series At Home With The Furys, together with Fury’s half-brother, former heavyweight world boxing champion Tyson Fury.
