Rumors are in the air!
Shockingly, the couple split in less than a month after celebrating the anniversary of their engagement. But, now Tommy’s red flags are resurfacing on the internet. Let’s start with the Youtube video in 2023 where Mae revealed that she feared Tommy was cheating on her because he was being very protective about his phone. “My mind did somersaults, I thought, ‘Why is he shady about his phone who is he talking to?” she said. At that time, Mollie felt like she was in “a sad movie.”
Meanwhile, in 2022, Molly wrote a memoir – Becoming Molly-Mae: Finding Happiness in an Online/Offline World, where she divulged that she had issues with him drinking. She stated that even though he drank “few times a year”, she had “anxiety around alcohol”, and would “lose it at him” as she hates it.
