Reality TV personality Molly-Mae Hague has revealed she isn’t ready to start wearing her engagement ring again, even though she and Tommy Fury have rekindled their relationship.
The couple, who first met on Love Island in 2019 and later got engaged, shocked fans when they announced their breakup last year. Earlier this year, Hague, 26, confirmed that they were back together — but in her new Prime Video docuseries, she admits their relationship is “not perfect” and that they are still living apart.
The series, which premiered on Saturday, also delves into some of the controversies surrounding Hague, including her much-criticized 2022 podcast comments that led to a wave of online backlash and even “death threats.”
During her appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Hague stated that “everyone has the same 24 hours in a day,” implying that success depends purely on effort. The remarks were met with widespread criticism, with many accusing her of being “tone-deaf” and overlooking her own privilege.
Hague later said she received “hateful comments” and “death threats” as a result but admitted she had come to “accept and realise” that her comments were wrong.
Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury remain one of Love Island’s most famous couples. Their split in August 2024 prompted a storm of speculation, with Fury facing cheating accusations and rumors that he had gotten another woman pregnant.
In his own BBC series, Fury, also 26, denied the “disgusting” allegations but admitted that alcohol had “cost him his family.”
Although Hague doesn’t directly address the cheating rumors in Molly-Mae: Behind It All, she hints that “trust issues” persist. The docuseries follows her as she juggles her career, filming commitments, and life with their two-year-old daughter, Bambi, in Manchester.
“It’s glitz, it’s glamour, it’s fishing poos out the bathtub,” Hague jokes about her everyday life.
Fury appears several times via video call, checking in on their daughter and asking about her potty training.
“Bambi has always been really good for our relationship,” Hague says. “Recently, she’s actually brought us even closer together.” She adds that getting back with Fury “was the right decision.”
However, after a tense phone argument shown in the series, Hague admits there are still unresolved issues.
“There’s just this shadow of the past that always comes back — it sounds really deep — but it haunts us,” she confides.
In conversation with a friend, she reveals that certain triggers still affect her emotionally. “I hear the word ‘alcohol’ and I tense up, I start shaking, I get really anxious,” she says.
Later in the series, Hague tells the camera she’s still not ready to put her engagement ring back on.
“I’m not wearing my ring yet because I just don’t feel ready,” she explains. “I’d like him to make a bit of a gesture — not a proposal again, but maybe a nice dinner or something that marks that moment of, ‘OK, I’ll wear my ring again.’ We’re back together, yes, but it’s not perfect. It’s a new chapter for me and Tommy.”
Addressing the Backlash
Elsewhere in the series, Hague revisits the controversies that have surrounded her online. She describes the abuse she received after her podcast comments as “wild.”
“To get so angry that you send death threats — who has that much hatred inside them?” she asks.
Still, she admits she was “so disappointed” in herself for making those remarks.
Hague also reflects on the criticism she received for a YouTube video in which she claimed she hadn’t done “one social fun thing” all summer — despite having posted pictures from several holidays.
“I completely understand why people had an issue with what I said,” she admits. “When the nation turns against you, those aren’t the best days. I get frustrated with myself when I say something I could’ve worded better. I hate letting people down.”
Behind the Scenes
Like the first season, Molly-Mae: Behind It All offers a behind-the-scenes look at her life — blending elements of a reality series and a documentary. Cameras follow Hague as she raises Bambi and manages her fashion brand, Maebe, while balancing her influencer career.
She’s candid about the challenges of motherhood, admitting that finding a balance between work and parenting is “quite hard to nail.”
TV journalist Lauren Morris praised Hague’s decision to open up about her personal life, calling it a “shrewd move” that also helps spotlight her business ventures.
“It’s brave of her to let people see her real life when she doesn’t have to,” Morris said. “Her critics won’t change their minds, but her fans will love it — and they’re the ones watching.”
The first season of Molly-Mae: Behind It All recently won a National Television Award — an honor Hague says added to the pressure for season two.
Speaking at a Q&A in London, Hague said she was “really nervous” about how audiences will react to the new series.
“There are things I’ve spoken about here that I’ve never talked about before,” she said. “I just want everything I put out there to be something people enjoy — and for it to be perfect.”
