Let the games begin: Tommy Fury, back then known simply as "Tyson Fury's brother" entered the Love Island villa in 2019 as a day one bombshell, and initially caused trouble as he stole Lucie Donlan from Joe Garrett, leaving him vulnerable to dumping. The pairing didn't last long because…

When Tommy met Molly: Molly-Mae entered the series on day four, and chose Fury to go on a date with her in a hot tub. From that point on, they never looked back, and remained with each other for the rest of the series.

Ellie Belly's big Q: Fury sought the help of Molly-Mae's beloved elephant Ellie Belly to officially ask her to be his girlfriend. It was the same toy he slept with on the day beds during Casa Amor, a twist that introduces new girls, rather than sleep in a bed with someone else.

The real winners: Despite being firm favourites, Molly-Mae and Fury didn't win the series – they placed second, with Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea pipping them to the post. However, Gill and O'Shea didn't last and split in September 2019, just five weeks after the show ended.

Newfound fame: The duo returned to the UK national icons, and quickly monetised the attention. After public appearances, Tommy turned to boxing, and Molly-Mae signed to work with PrettyLittleThing, becoming a full-time blogger and influencer. They were millionaires within a year.

Move in day: In Sept 2019, just a month after leaving the villa, Molly-Mae confirmed to The Sun Fury had already moved into her Manchester flat. They later rented out a string of properties together. She met his brother Tyson shortly afterwards, who gave his seal of approval.

Splitting image: After Love Island, the pair were dogged with split rumours as busy schedules kept them apart. In Aug 2021, Molly-Mae shut it down and said: "Of course we're OK! Just because we don't post a selfie together on stories for a few weeks doesn't mean things are bad."

Becoming targets: In October 2021 Molly-Mae and Tommy were left terrified when burglars ransacked their Manchester apartment, stealing £800,000 in designer goods while they were out. They immediately moved into a new home with more security, and bought a £3.5m mansion in March 2022.

A Molly Mae-by: On 25 September 2022, Molly-Mae and Fury shared a video online confirming they were expecting their first child. From that point on, the couple shared every bit of prep from the pregnancy — including nursery plans, bump pics, scans and baby shower.

A premature announcement: On 27 Jan 2023, Fury's boxing opponent Jake Paul announced Molly-Mae had given birth in a jab on Twitter ahead of their 26 February bout. He wrote: "Tommy has no excuses now - Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue." The couple didn't respond.

Welcome baby Bambi: On 30 January, 2023, the pair flooded Instagram with pics of their new baby. They also confirmed their little girl was born a week prior (23 January), after disappearing from social media to spend time with their daughter.

A day later, they revealed her name was Bambi.

Engagement news: In 2023, Tommy got down on one knee to propose to Molly-Mae. In a video shared on Instagram, the influencer is holding their baby when the boxer popped the question on the edge of a scenic cliff. The professional fighter and Hague then embraced and smiled at each other.
