Molly-Mae and Tommy relationship timeline

Meeting on Love Island–June 2019

Molly and Tommy's love journey began way back in 2019 when the pair took part in series five of the hit ITV show, Love Island. The then 20-year-old Molly entered the show as a bombshell and quickly took Tommy's breath away.

However the couple didn't have the smoothest journey on Love Island, as tensions between the pair began to rise when Molly's now-bestie Maura Higgins entered the villa. She quickly caught Tommy's attention, however as his connection with Molly grew, he soon called things off with Maura.

The relationship between Molly and Tommy continued to progress as the series continued, with the couple making it all the way to the final and coming in second place.

Following this exciting announcement, Molly set up the Instagram account @mollymaison to document their new home journey.

Molly was careful with what she showed her followers, revealing: "I know a lot of you won’t have been expecting me to do a home account as I have become a lot more private about what I post of our home life…

"However having a home account is something that I’ve always dreamed of doing. I’ve decided that I don’t want to let the past control my future, the way I live my life and what I share with you guys."

Split rumours–June 2022

Despite recently buying a home together, fans were left confused when Tommy had moved into a new flat during the summer of 2022.

A few weeks after Bambi was born, Molly revealed her child's unusual name and explained why she doesn't have a middle name.

The mother-of-one stated: "Bambi doesn't have a middle name. Her name's literally just Bambi Fury which is so weird because I was so certain she would have a middle name.

"I was adamant, but we couldn't just decide on one. And we kept coming up with random middle names, like for a while she was going to be Bambi Winter."

Molly-Mae and Tommy get engaged–July 2023

A few months after the birth of their daughter, Tommy surprised Molly with a stunning engagement she didn't see coming.

Molly was then greeted by Tommy and Bambi who were waiting for her on the cliff's edge, with the father-of-one then asking his girlfriend to marry him.
