Molly-Mae Hague says she was ‘not prepared’ for parenthood admitting it’s ‘100% harder’ than she imagined

Molly-Mae Hague has admitted that she was “not prepared” for parenthood.

The Love Island star, who welcomed daughter Bambi with boyfriend Tommy Fury in January, said that being a parent had been “100% harder” than she believed it would be.

During an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday, the 23-year-old was asked by a fan: “Is having a baby harder than you imagined?”

Replying alongside a photo of her cuddling her little one, she wrote: “Yes. 100% yes. I’m not going to beat around the bush... I was not prepared.

“She’s completely and utterly worth it all though. Every single hard moment!”

The influencer also revealed that she is “exhausted” since welcoming Bambi when asked by another follower how she was doing.

She responded: “Truthfully....exhausted. I’m getting there though. Thank you for asking.”

Aside from answering questions about her newborn, Hague revealed how she and boyfriend Tommy Fury are “one million times stronger” since becoming parents.

A fan asked: “I hear people say all the time that a baby changes your relationships. Is it true for you?×”

To which, she shared on her Instagram Story: “Yes... it’s made us one million times stronger.

“Having a baby is all about team work, we are still figuring it out together but we are really lucky that becoming parents has only affected our relationship positively.”

The couple welcomed daughter Bambi in January after Hague announcing she was expecting last September.

The couple announced the happy news on Instagram at the time, with a black-and-white photograph showing them on a hospital bed as Fury cradled the newborn in his arms and Hague hugged her partner.

The post was captioned “23/01/23” with a white heart emoji.

Hague and Fury met during the fifth series of ITV’s hit dating show Love Island, finishing as runners-up behind Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea.

The couple have gone on to forge successful careers after their time on the show, with Hague becoming creative director at fashion brand PrettyLittleThing.

Fury, who is world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s half-brother, has continued his professional boxing career.
