Professional boxer and reality TV star Tommy Fury proposed to his long-term girlfriend, Molly-Mae Hague, after four years together, creating an epic Love Island-worthy proposal. The couple, both 24, mutually shared a video via their Instagram accounts capturing the special moment with their adorable six-month-old daughter, Bambi, present. Hague proudly flaunted her stunning oval-cut diamond engagement ring. Adding to the excitement, Molly-Mae shared a clip from their time on Season 5 of the U.K. reality show, playfully predicting her future as "Molly Fury." Fans were delighted by the news of their engagement and impressed by Fury's ring choice.
The duo first crossed paths and fell in love during Season 5 of the popular dating game show Love Island in 2019. Despite not winning the competition, their love story flourished, leading to an enduring relationship. In September 2022, Hague shared the news of her pregnancy, revealing that she and Fury were expecting their first child together. They welcomed their baby girl, Bambi, in January of this year.
Molly-Mae Hague is an English social media influencer who gained further recognition as the runner-up on the fifth series of the U.K. reality dating show, Love Island. Presently, she represents PrettyLittleThing, a UK-based fast-fashion retailer, as a brand ambassador.
Tommy Fury, an English professional boxer and reality television personality, gained fame in 2019 when he also participated in the ITV2 reality show, temporarily stepping away from his boxing career. Alongside his partner, Molly-Mae Hague, the couple emerged as runners-up in the series. Notably, Tommy Fury is also known as the younger half-brother of the heavyweight world champion of boxing, Tyson Fury.
Impeccably dressed in a black tuxedo, the professional boxer orchestrated a picturesque cliffside proposal in Ibiza. A mesmerizing display of hundreds of roses decorated the scene, and to make it even more spectacular, he surprised Molly-Mae with her favorite singer, RuthAnne, an Irish singer-songwriter, to serenade them. Molly-Mae later revealed the clever trick Tommy used to keep the proposal a secret—arranging a fake event to throw her off the scent of their actual destination. In a heartwarming engagement video, Molly-Mae was dressed in an elegant ivory jumpsuit, emotionally approaching Tommy, who lovingly cradled their six-month-old daughter, Bambi. With the ground covered in roses and petals, Tommy handed Bambi to Molly-Mae, who was overcome with tears of joy. As she watched, Tommy dropped to one knee and presented her with a sparkling diamond engagement ring, sealing the moment with a heartfelt proposal.
Watch the proposal below:
Molly-Mae Hague’s enormous oval-cut diamond ring, set on a thin yellow gold band coated in tiny pavé diamonds, is estimated by the Natural Diamond Council's expert Grant Mobley to be a 10-carat diamond, ranging between $750,000 and a whopping $1 million. However, esteemed English jewelry designer Jessica Flinn suggests the actual size of the stone is probably closer to 6 carats, explaining that oval-cut diamonds always appear larger than other diamond cuts of similar carat weight. She elaborated further, explaining that the ring's slim band and minimalist setting also make the diamond appear more sizable. Set on a yellow gold band, which is currently growing in popularity, this combination creates a stunning contrast, making the diamond pop. Flinn estimates the price of the ring at around $642,000. Meanwhile, Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, believes the ring setting maximizes its brilliance and fire, estimating the diamond weight to be at least 8 carats, valued at a minimum of a quarter of a million dollars, possibly closer to $350,000. Oval-cut diamond engagement rings have been trending in recent years and have been spotted on the hands of numerous celebrities, including Kourtney Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively, and Olympic gold medal winner Simone Biles.
