Molly-Mae Hague Breaks Silence on the 'Circumstances' Around 'Shock' Split from Tommy Fury: 'I Didn't Want What Happened to Happen'

For the first time, Molly-Mae Hague is shedding light on what preceded her bombshell split from Tommy Fury this past summer.

In a new interview with British Vogue, the 25-year-old Love Island UK alum said that the breakup — which she announced on her Instagram Stories in August — "was a bit of a shock" as she revealed that the "circumstances" were particularly challenging.

"I didn't want what happened to happen," she said, reiterating that she "wanted to get married to Tommy, one hundred percent, and that would never have changed."

They had even picked out a date and planning was in full force at the time of the split, Hague revealed. “I wanted to get married next September and it’s very hard when it’s kind of taken away."

While she insisted she "will always have a lot of love and respect" for the boxer, 25, she said it's "a really deep situation" and it's "really sad."

“No one will ever really know what went down apart from Tommy and I, and that’s how we’d like to keep it, for Bambi’s sake," she said of the actual circumstances that led to the split while referring to the couple's one-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

She does, though, think Fury "will talk about things eventually," as she seemingly hinted to the outlet that the breakup was a result of something on his end.

"I do think that when he’s ready, like, maybe more will be said. But I think that’s for him to do on his terms," she said. "It's not like it's gossip. It's real life."

For now, their focus is on co-parenting, and Hague said they're "both being really mature about it."

Fury has similarly said that Bambi is the couple's main priority and because of her, the details of the split will always be fuzzy to the public.

"Everyone will point the finger when there's a bandwagon to jump on, but at the end of the day, out of respect to Molly and out of respect to myself, and you know, our relationship and to us, I'm gonna let us deal with that in private as much as we can," he said on ITV's This Morning last month.

Fury also admitted that things have been "tough" since the breakup announcement since "there's been a lot of critics," as he briefly addressed the rumors of infidelity on his part that have circulated since August. "I'm gonna leave all that stuff for me and Molly to work through."

A rep for Fury previously told PEOPLE that he was "horrified by the false allegations of cheating being circulated by the media" following the breakup, so much so that the boxer was "consulting his lawyers."
