She reminded fans of the incredible surprise Tommy, 25, had set up in Ibiza to pop the question.

Molly, who announced their relationship had ended, shared a video of the boxer getting down on one knee as their favourite song was performed by a singer standing nearby.
The 24-year-old captioned the clip: “One year ago today I was tricked into going on a fake brand trip on which the love of my life would ask me to marry him.”
Tommy pulled out all the stops when he surprised Molly Mae by flying her favourite singer, RuthAnne, to sing her song The Vow in Ibiza for his romantic proposal.
Posting a video of the moment he asked her to be his wife, Molly-Mae wrote on Instagram last year: “Forever. 23/07/23.”
In the video Molly became emotional as she walked into the romantic seaside setting to see Tommy suited and booted holding their baby daughter.
He handed over Bambi before dropping down on one knee and presenting her with a ring as she broke down in tears.
It comes as Tommy and Molly confirmed it was all over in separate statements.
The former couple posted a message to fans at different times, with Molly going first and admitting the break-up had come as a huge shock to her.
She said it had been “extrement upsetting” and said “I never imagined it would end, especially this way.”
Initial reactions from their fans indicate that most believe Tommy, 25, was “at fault” for their relationship crumbling.

One more echoed: “What did Tommy do? I know Molly would go to war for that man!?”

‘Molly and Tommy appeared to be picture perfect, their break-up was completely unexpected’

GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months, the pair had faced rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women – all while Molly-Mae was at home holding their baby.
Her statement smacks of something that has yet to come to light.
Although she’s written it with a clever PR eye watching over it, Molly’s devastation spills out in every word.
As I type, my WhatsApp groups are flashing up with texts about how this seemingly rock solid couple have crumbled into nothing.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed – after he pulled an elaborate stunt which ended up with him getting down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, complete with Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and, later, the arrival of their daughter Bambi, appeared to outsiders to be picture perfect.
Molly has built her brand around her wholesome family life with Tommy.
Cosy photographs are carefully curated for her Instagram grid, with her 7.9million followers poring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I, along with a number of my friends, follow on social media for her girl next door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but there is something shocking about the ending of what, on the surface, appeared to be such a happy relationship.
Earlier this year, at Soccer Aid, Tommy was cagey when asked about their upcoming wedding plans by one of my colleagues.
It wasn’t altogether too strange, as most blokes aren’t overly keen to chat about their missus when they’re with their mates playing football.
But it was a definite gear change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, as he was always so gushing about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a number of Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths, will now be combing the internet and social media for clues.
And given the number of calls coming into our desk, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae ended things with Tommy will come to light in the next few hours.
As a genuine fan and follower, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Break ups suck at the best of times. But when you’re in the public eye, and you choose to announce your split so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – they are a hell of a lot harder.
Meanwhile, Molly admitted she feared Tommy had cheated on her before he popped the question in Ibiza last year.
Molly said she feared the worst after noticing that Tommy was “being shady” with his phone the day of their surprise engagement.
Molly, who got engaged to Tommy in July 2023, said last year: “My mind did somersaults, I thought, ‘Why is he shady about his phone who is he talking to?’
“My mind went to the worst option. I was staring out the window like I was in a sad movie.”
