Following rife speculation their break-up was a publicity stunt, fans are now convinced Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury are back together after their shock split last year.
Molly-Mae blindsided fans back in August when she announced that she and Tommy, both 25, had parted ways five years after meeting on the ITV2 show.
But eagle-eyed followers recently noticed the pair may have spent Valentine’s Day together after boxer Tommy shared a photo of himself and their two-year-old daughter Bambi holding hands as they walked through a car park – with a car the same model as Molly-Mae’s spotted in the background.
Adding fuel to the rumours, Tommy cryptically captioned the post, ‘Life’s been looking up.’
And an insider tells Closer that as well as thrilling fans with speculation around a reunion, they may also be heading towards giving their daughter a baby brother or sister.
Our source says, ‘Molly-Mae and Tommy have set tongues wagging with rumours they’re back together and even trying for a second child. She's made no secret that she wants a big family and baby number two was always going to be on the cards.’
And it seems their rumoured romantic family get-together may even have inspired their next child’s name for when the time comes.
‘Valentine is a strong contender for a name,’ the source adds. ‘Bambi and Valentine definitely has a nice ring to it.’
Upon the pair’s split, Molly-Mae posted on social media, ‘I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy's relationship has come to an end. I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.’
And the influencer has been open about wanting to have more children with Tommy since their split, emotionally speaking about adding to their brood during her Amazon Prime Video series, Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
Speaking to her sister Zoe in the documentary, she said, ‘All I want in this life is to be with him, and to have another baby with him, and to grow old as a family. And to live in a nice house together and have a nice life together. That’s all I want.’
And just this month, Molly-Mae admitted in a YouTube video that having a second baby is ‘always’ on her mind.
She told fans, ‘The happiness levels have been spiking recently. There's been a crazy amount of ups and downs over the last year but currently I am feeling really, really happy and the glimmers of my true, old self are coming back.’
Answering a fan’s question about having more children, she admitted, ‘I'm not really in a position right now to sit here and talk about baby number two and more babies after the last year that my relationship has gone through.
‘But if you take the relationship and me and Tommy out of it for a second, I think a lot about baby number two and thoughts and feelings in regard to it.’
Getting emotional, she continued, ‘It's another thing that's on my mind all the time, circulating and how I am meant to feel about it. I think about how much it terrifies me, the thought of Bambi growing up without a sister. I feel that way because my sister made my life growing up.’
And our source claims time apart from Tommy has made her ready for them to start a new chapter as a family.
‘Molly believes that things happen for a reason and a new baby will heal them,’ the source says. ‘She loves Tommy and as far as she’s concerned, that's reason enough to be together. They complete each other, more now than ever as they are determined to get this right. A cloud has lifted from over Molly, she knows Tommy is her life and the children they will have together will make them the perfect family.’
Despite sister Zoe warning her about what a future with Tommy – who has been open about having an alcohol problem – could look like in the documentary, the insider adds that Molly is ignoring outside voices.
‘She doesn't need people's advice on her relationship, she’s told people when she wants it, she will ask for it. Molly asked her family and friends to give her space, telling them she knows what she’s doing.’
Tommy discussed how his alcohol issues impacted his relationship with Molly-Mae earlier this year, saying, ‘We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol, and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore.
‘It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.’
But our source claims both Tommy and Molly are taking their reunion ‘more seriously than anyone expected.’
They add, ‘Getting back together is not a knee jerk reaction. It's what is right for them and their daughter.’
