AS Tommy Fury went down on one knee to pop the question to Molly-Mae Hague, he knew his family would be cheering him on.
Paris Fury, the wife of Tommy’s older brother Tyson, was among the first to offer the happy couple her best wishes, writing: “Congratulations to yous, such lovely news and your ring is beautiful.”

That will be music to the ears of 24-year-old Molly-Mae, who has been welcomed into the Fury fold since meeting Tommy, 24, on Love Island four years ago.
She’s become particularly close to mum-of-six Paris since the birth of the couple’s first child, Bambi, in January.
The stunning blondes have a lot in common, from their fashion sense and unusual baby names to a jetset lifestyle with their fighter partners.
Paris – who is pregnant with her seventh child – has previously likened Molly-Mae and Tommy’s romance to her own relationship with Tyson, who she met when she was just 16.
“I do look at them and think, ‘Aww, you are like what we were like when we were young.’ I think they will get married,” she told Fabulous in April 2021.
She also dubbed Molly-Mae the “next leading lady” – referencing the Fury women’s tendency to rule the roost.
The two women will be looking forward to getting together to discuss wedding plans – and if Tommy’s extravagant proposal is anything to go by, the nuptials will follow in the Fury tradition of spectacular celebrations.
Here we look at how Molly Mae has become part of the family – and is already dubbed “Mrs Fury” by her sister-in-law.

Lavish proposal
In a stunning clifftop proposal, as singer RuthAnne sang her romantic ballad The Vow, Tommy handed baby Bambi to Molly-Mae – who was dressed in a white jumpsuit – before getting down on one knee.
The beautifully staged moment – which resulted in copious tears from Molly – came after Tommy whisked her off to Ibiza at the weekend.
The romantic boxer had organised for thousands of pink and white roses – a popular Fury colour scheme – to be arranged around the site, and scattered rose petals on the floor.
The lavish gesture had echoes of past Fury celebrations, including the Christening of Tyson and Paris’ youngest, Athena, last July.
The spectacular party room hired for the event was filled with hundreds of pink and white roses and giant bouquets were used as table decorations.
There were also hundreds of pink and white balloons, a pink chocolate fountain and the baby’s name in giant light-up letters.

Wedding plans
Molly-Mae will be sharing her wedding plans with sister-in-law Paris and perhaps getting some hints on how to throw a successful Fury bash.
Tyson and Paris wed in 2008 in a relatively low key winter wedding at the Chains Catholic Church in Doncaster, England.
The deeply religious couple, who didn’t have sex before the big day, invited 300 guests to the traditional Traveller wedding.
In contrast, Molly-Mae had been planning a huge Disney-themed wedding, with a pal telling Heat: “Molly wants to book a castle somewhere in the UK, where they’d have a banquet from a Michelin-star chef, performances from famous musicians and a spectacular fireworks display.
“They also want it to be about their fairytale love story, with Bambi playing a big part of the ceremony.
“They’re huge fans of Disney, so Molly will be wearing a princess gown and arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. She wants the full Cinderella experience.”
But after taking on the bridesmaid role at best pal Francesca Britton’s Barbados wedding last month, it seems she’s keen to scale back.
“She no longer wants the extravagant great British wedding that she and Tommy previously imagined,” a source told OK!
“Seeing Fran’s wedding has put her off the idea of a Disney-themed wedding, too. She’s still expecting to spend seven figures on her big day, but since having Bambi, she’s realised she wants a low-key ceremony surrounded by only her closest loved ones.”
“She definitely has her heart set on getting married abroad, but she now wants it to be very intimate with just Tommy, Bambi and their parents and siblings.”
Molly also said she found a “dream” wedding venue during a PrettyLittleThing shoot in Nice, France.

Family plan
Tommy has made no secret of his desire to have a large family – just like his brother – and says him and Molly-Mae are on the same page.
He told The Sun in May: “I want four kids but it’s Molly’s body and she’s the one who has to go through it… I’m a big family man and come from a big family too and it’s something we talk about a lot.”
When it comes to naming their baby, Molly-Mae and Tommy took a leaf out of the older Furys’ book, coming up with a moniker that could never be described as run of the mill.

Tyson and Paris share six children – Venezuela, 12, Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, four, Valencia, three, and baby Athena, who was born prematurely last August.
When baby Bambi arrived in January, proud aunt Paris posted a beautiful picture of the trio with the message: “The biggest congratulations to this beautiful family.”
In March, Tyson announced the couple were expecting a seventh child – with Molly-Mae quick to congratulate them.

Gal pals
Shortly after meeting Tommy, Molly-Mae was thrown in the deep end, meeting the entire Fury family on a trip to Las Vegas, where Tyson was facing Otto Wallin in the ring.
Afterwards she trilled: “Tyson was lovely and Paris was lovely. The whole situation was really nice and I think it was the perfect situation to meet Tyson because he was boxing and training very hard so I just watched it and took it all in.
“I am looking forward to meeting them again properly soon, hopefully in a more chilled scenario. The family is amazing.”
A few months later in February 2020, Paris and Molly-Mae were pictured hanging out together in Vegas.

To show how welcome she is in the close knit clan, Paris included her in a snap with her three other sister-in-laws, calling the five blondes “Mrs Furys” in one of her Instagram snaps along with her other three sisters-in-law.
Molly-Mae and Tommy also celebrated with the Furys after Tyson won his World Heavyweight Title fight against Dillian White in April last year.
The morning after, Paris shared a picture of the family in a restaurant captioned: “Family celebration.”
In December, Paris sent a sweet message to Molly-Mae after missing her baby shower, writing: “You looked so beautiful today, and wish I could of made it back from London in time but anyways it looked a dream.”

Northern homes
Despite hailing from the south, Molly-Mae was happy to move closer to Tommy’s family in the north.
The former Love Islanders share a pad in Manchester, where both brothers were born.
Tyson and Paris live an hour away in Morecambe, in a £4million mansion, meaning the family can easily get together for family events.

Jetsetters
Since finding fame Molly-Mae has become a high-flyer, jetting off around the world with her man.
Motherhood hasn’t slowed her down either, with trips to the Caribbean, Nice, Paris, Dubai and Greece in recent months.
Nice is a popular hangout for Paris and Tyson, who recently posted a picture outside their favourite luxury hotel on the French Riviera.
And Paris is often pictured with a private jet, as she flies off to another glam destination.

Fashion queens
Both women are naturally stylish with a love of designer clothes, but they are equally at home with budget brands like PLT, Zara and Primark.
They are often found in all-white or beige outfits, whether a chic suit or figure-hugging frock.
While they love to get glammed up for parties, they often share snaps of casual comfy tracksuits or crop tops and jeans.

Reality show
The two couples have now collaborated on a new Netflix reality show, At Home With The Furys.
While the programme follows Tyson as he exits the ring and tries to embrace retirement, it will also feature Tommy and Molly-Mae as well as dad John.
The filming of the show may well mean they are spending more time in each other’s company.
All good news for Molly-Mae – the latest matriarch in the Fury family.
