Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague have revealed the strict parenting rule they stick to when it comes to raising their daughter, Bambi.
The couple, who first met and fell for each other on Love Island back in 2019, welcomed their first child, Bambi, in January 2023 before expanding their family once again earlier this month with the arrival of their son, Midas.
They announced the birth of their second child a few weeks back (3 July) with a joint Instagram post showing the family of four for the first time, simply writing: "....and then there were 4," alongside a white heart emoji.

A few days later, the pair confirmed they'd welcomed a baby boy in a sweet video of Bambi meeting her little brother for the first time.
Tommy later revealed his son's name, Midas, while making his return to the boxing ring.
Now, Tommy has opened up about one parenting rule he and Molly-Mae, 27, are determined to stick to, and it centres around screen time.
Speaking about raising three-year-old Bambi, the 27-year-old boxer explained that technology is kept to an absolute minimum.
"Speaking for myself and my own children, the only time Bambi sees a screen is during a long flight or a long car journey, when I might put something on for her. Other than that, she’s outside in the garden, playing in the sunshine, jumping in puddles and going to the park," Tommy said in a BBC Q&A alongside his 61-year-old father, John Fury.
Tommy went on to explain that he wants his daughter to enjoy the same kind of childhood he had growing up, away from constant screens and devices.
He continued: "I try to keep things as normal as possible. I really want Bambi to have a childhood like I did, and my childhood didn’t consist of screens, apps and things like that. I really don’t want that for my children."
The family update comes as Tommy prepares for his latest BBC project alongside John, a video podcast titled What The Fury?!
"What The Fury?! is their 10-part video podcast series - where they sit down face to face to clash over the biggest themes and craziest phenomena of modern life," the BBC notes.
"Every episode, they take on one subject that has faced major changes in the past few decades, including: kids, masculinity, AI, money, homes, food, relationships, gadgets, holidays and entertainment."
The pair first cross paths on the fifth season of Love Island back in 2019. Tommy enters the villa on the first day as a bombshell, however, his head is soon turned when fellow bombshell Molly-Mae rocks up just days later.
After being ‘coupled up’ for a month, Tommy uses Molly-Mae's teddy, Ellie Belly, to ask her to be his girlfriend.
Their relationship continues to progress while on the show, and they ultimately finish as runners-up.
Molly-Mae and Tommy move into a Manchester apartment together.
The couple buy their first home together. Molly-Mae shares the milestone on Instagram, writing: "It finally happened … Our NEW CHAPTER!!!"
Tommy also comments: "Our next chapter."
In a heartwarming video, featuring a clip from their time together on Love Island, Molly-Mae and Tommy announce that they’re expecting their first child.
She captions the post: "I can’t wait for the adventures that we haven’t even dreamed of yet."
The couple welcome a baby girl, called Bambi, and share an adorable family snap announcing the arrival on Instagram.
"I can’t believe we get to keep you forever. Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me," Molly-Mae wrote at the time. "It doesn’t seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment. There is no feeling like holding you in my arms little one, my heart literally explodes. Thank you for entering this world sagely for us and blessing us with the gift of being your parents. We promise to love and care for you unconditionally forever."
Tommy proposes to Molly-Mae while on holiday in Ibiza. A black and white video captures the moment he gets down on one knee, with baby Bambi also there for the occasion.
Sharing the engagement news online, the couple caption the post: "Forever. 23/07/23."
Molly-Mae shocks fans by announcing that she had split from Tommy after five years together. In her statement, she writes: "Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this.
"After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way."
Tommy also shares a statement, which reads: "I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.
"The past five years have led us to having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will forever be thankful to Molly for making me a dad. Bambi is our priority."
Tommy hits out at cheating rumours, telling MailOnline: "All the allegations that were made of me recently are completely false. The truth will come out in time and when it does I think a lot of people might regret their actions and unkind words."
The pair are seen kissing at a New Year’s party, sparking speculation they could be back together.
"We are figuring it out as adults, as parents," Molly-Mae tells reporters. "We're doing the best we can."
Tommy opens up on the reason for the split, revealing to Men’s Health: "We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink."
He adds: "Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing."
Molly-Mae and Tommy jet off to Dubai for a family trip with Bambi.
In a YouTube video, Molly says: "We had a really, really amazing time. The best holiday ever for all of us. Right now we're just keeping it private. As private as we can. But also it's not really private at all."
After months of speculation, Molly-Mae finally confirms that she and Tommy are back together during her Amazon Prime Video docuseries, Behind It All. She says the relationship was ‘worth saving’.
Despite being back with Tommy, Molly-Mae reveals in an episode of Behind It All that she hasn't put her ring back on yet.
