Molly-Mae and Tommy were arguably the most high-profile couple to have emerged from Love Island.
The pair, who were runners-up on the 2019 series of the reality TV show and got engaged in 2023, share a daughter Bambi. But they split up last August.
Molly-Mae said the reason she hasn’t commented on her break-up on social media is because they are both still navigating it themselves.
She also rejected speculation that the split was a publicity stunt.
“I think that for me, above everything, has been the most frustrating part,” she said.
“I wish it was a publicity stunt, because it would be a lot easier. Because going through all of this, with the turmoil of a breakup, has been incredibly hard.
“I do see the comments, people saying this has obviously just been done ‘to launch her brand or a publicity stunt’, it’s very painful to read because it’s real life,” she added.
“Tommy and I have a baby together, and it’s very, very real and it’s a really hard thing that we’ve both gone through in the last six months.”
