Tommy Fury has revealed a new extravagant purchase as he hopes to make changes to how his daughter, Bambi, sees his and Molly-Mae Hague’s wealth. The boxer shares two-year-old Bambi with his former fiancée. The pair welcomed their first child into the world in 2023, almost four years after they met and fell in love on ITV2 dating show Love Island. They also got engaged in the same year, but shocked fans last summer when they announced they’d split after five years together. Tommy and Molly-Mae, both 26, have both since been rekindling their romance, with Molly-Mae confirming in the second part of her Amazon Prime docuseries in May that they were back together. Now, Tommy has been heard discussing being a dad, and how he doesn’t want his daughter to grow-up getting used to the lifestyle her mum and dad have built. “Having a daughter, Bambi, is everything in my life. She’s what I work for. She’s what I fight for.,” Tommy told Eddie Hall on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Beast . “I don’t even buy anything for myself anymore. It’s all going away.” Despite only being a toddler, Tommy’s daughter already enjoys a lavish life, with the likes of trips aboard on private jets. “Today’s world is tough because you don’t wanna spoil your children, but then it’s hard to not, in a way,” the dad-of-one shared. “I’ve just bought – and it’s coming in two weeks – a massive RV type thing. I just said to myself, ‘She can’t take business class flights every time, that ain’t the real world.’ “I didn’t go on a plane until I was 17! It was a Flybe flight and the propeller nearly broke. But Bambi’s got more air miles than me now, and she’s two and a half.” Tommy added: “I want her to know the meaning of normal, which is, you know, a nice camping holiday, driving to the lake. Not staying in five star hotels, not going business class flights, not doing that sometimes – and that’s okay. “Yeah, so I think she’s getting to an age now where she’s understanding more, and that as a father I introduce them sort of holidays, it’s very important.” It comes after Molly-Mae made a ‘scary’ admission about her experience of motherhood after opening up about her recent challenges with her daughter. She gave insight into how she’s coping being a mother as she implored her followers to ask her some questions in an Instagram Q&A session. One of her millions of followers asked: “How are you finding motherhood?” to which the mum-of-one didn’t hold back with a candid response. “How long have you got?” she joked. “One topic I can really, really talk about.” She continued to type out her answer, writing: “I find how I feel about ‘motherhood’ a real complex subject, also because it changes so regularly. Some weeks I absolutely adore being a mum and genuinely don’t even want to put Bambi to bed because I know I’ll miss her so much…. “Other weeks I’m counting down the minutes until bedtime comes. My confidence has been all over the place with Bambi recently to be quite honest. I had my first day with her completely alone yesterday for about a week (since Zoe [her sister] and Danny [her brother-in-law] moved in, we’ve rarely been alone which has been so lovely)… “But I was genuinely so anxious because I just didn’t know how I was going to handle the tantrums and defiance alone. That’s kind of scary to admit – I was anxious to take care of my own daughter? It’s just the truth.” Molly-Mae continued to share how she tries not get “stressed” and to “b calm” but that even when she is, Bambi “still isn’t happy”. She went on: “Bambi is my world and I love HER more than anything in this whole universe, but being a MUM sometimes, I don’t love it all the time, especially at the moment whilst we are navigating a lot of huge feelings.” She shared: “I know that his is so, so normal, and every time I speak candidly about how I do struggle with motherhood, the amount of messages I get from other mums thanking me honestly makes me want to cry…” Molly-Mae also mentioned the thought of being a mum again after someone told her that you “forget” the difficult times. “I know there’s just not a world in which i would have another baby right now… or maybe there is one day. I just don’t know.” She rounded off the post my saying she was going to be heading into a life coaching session which she said made her “so excited” to be able to talk about everything and “get it all off my plate”.
