Molly-Mae Hague has announced that she is pregnant with her first child.
The former Love Island star, is over the moon to be expecting a baby with her long-term partner, Tommy Fury, who she fell head over heels with when they both appeared on the 2019 series of the ITV2 dating show and began their journey to becoming parents-to-be together.
The expectant mum, 23, took to Instagram today to share her happy news with a stunning video announcing her and Tommy's happy news - with friends, fans and celebrity pals rushing to congratulate the PrettyLittleThing Creative Director and the boxer on their joyous news.
The couple both shared the news on their respective Instagram pages, with a video of Molly-Mae saying "I can’t wait for the adventures that we haven’t even dreamed of yet" from her finale speech during their time on the reality show that first introduced them to each other.
The video then panned to the happy couple holding Molly-Mae’s baby bump and embracing one another. The couple's celebrity pals were quick to congratulate the pair, with fellow Love Island star Georgia Steel commenting: "Wow sooooo beautiful."
Lottie Tomlinson, who recently gave birth to her first child, also left a message of congratulations for the parents-to-be, writing: "Omg congratulations beautiful."
Molly-Mae previously addressed her concerns about becoming a mother amid her endometriosis diagnosis.
The mum-to-be has documented her battle with the diagnosis on her Instagram and YouTube channel for well over a year now after doctors told her that women suffering with the long-term condition can sometimes struggle to conceive.
Despite admitting that she and Tommy always had dreams of having a large family, Molly-Mae previously insisted that if they were blessed with even one child amid her diagnosis, she would be eternally grateful.
Professional boxer Tommy, also 23, previously admitted that he would love nothing more than to have four children with the woman of his dreams, Molly-Mae.
"I want four kids but it’s Molly’s body and she’s the one who has to go through it - but I’ll be there with her every step of the way,” Tommy told The Sun.
“I’m a big family man and come from a big family too and it’s something we talk about a lot. I don’t think it’s in the far too distant future.
“We’re so young but we’ve been living together for three years now - we shared a bed the night we met and then every day after that for months so it’s like we’ve been together six years."
Tommy insisted that because the pair don't drink and they aren't into partying, having children and settling down won't change much.
The boxer joked that he wasn't allowed to talk about baby names though, just incase someone 'stole' their idea.
And back in 2020, Molly-Mae said that by the time she was 26 she wanted to be married and have children.
She also said that she wasn't using contraception, but that it wasn't in a move to fall pregnant.
"I went on the pill a few weeks ago for the first time. I found it so hard to find a good time each day to take the pill. I started taking it and no, it's not for me.
"I felt headache-y, I felt tired, I felt emotional like I was crying for no reason. Tommy was literally like, 'What is wrong with you?' and the only thing that had changed was that I was on this pill. It was not for me. I'm living life on the edge guys!"
In October 2021, Molly admitted that she felt she was ready to walk down the aisle and dropped a not-so-subtle hint for Tommy to get ring shopping.
"I’d like a ring soon, please … at some point. I am still the perfect girlfriend, me and Tommy that’s like a whole other thing, we hardly knew each other back then," the blonde beauty declared on the Behind Closed Doors podcast.
"We were just getting started and now we’ve been together two and a bit years and it's been the best two and a bit years of my life with everything with my work, with my relationship. I’m just so lucky."
In her debut memoir released earlier this year, Becoming Molly-Mae, the Instagram influencer explained how she and Tommy wanted "to have a baby soon", but at the time, were happy with their family of cuddly toys.
"We share goals for the future, too; we both want kids relatively soon and that is really because when you're with someone and it feels so right, the next stage you see is having kids with them," the star wrote.
She added: "Still, there's no rush! For the time being, we're happy with the children we do have... all 17 of them! We call them our children, but really, they're our collection of cuddly toys; stuffed giraffes, turtles and more."
Just a few months after the bestselling book was released, Molly-Mae and Tommy took to their Instagram pages respectively to announce that their collection of cuddly toys would soon be joined by their first ever baby!
"congratulations this is amazing," mum-of-four Stacey Solomon commented on the couple's pregnancy reveal video, with Molly-Mae's close pal and fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins adding: "AND THERE WE GO IM CRYING AGAIN!!!!!!LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH."
Paris Fury - who is married to Tommy's brother Tyson Fury - sweetly commented: "Awww I’ve watched this 20 times and just keep watching."
Amy Hart - who appeared on Love Island alongside both Molly-Mae and Tommy - left a sweet comment revealing her delight at being pregnant at the same time as her former housemate.
The fellow mum-to-be wrote: "Can’t wait to be texting each other at 2am [laughing emojis] so much love for you all! Xxxx."
