Following yesterday’s news that Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury had split, many fans have been left in shock and declaring 'love doesn't exist'.
After all, the pair had become reality TV’s golden couple after meeting on Love Island, making it to the final to finish in second place.
They welcomed their first child – daughter Bambi – in January 2023, before getting engaged in Ibiza in July that year.

But Molly-Mae confirmed yesterday that they had decided to go their separate ways, saying in a statement on Instagram: "Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this,” she began.
“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
"I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy's relationship has come to an end.
"I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”
Thanking all of her followers for the ‘love’ they had shown the couple over the past five years, she added: "You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it's right to share this with you all.
"Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I'll be back when it feels right.”
In Tommy’s own statement, also issued yesterday after’s Molly-Mae's, he said he felt ‘heartbroken’ to share that he and Molly-Mae had decided to end their relationship.
He also echoed something that his ex had said, showing that there’s one thing they’re on the same page with as they navigate their breakup: Bambi, who is their ‘priority’.
"The past 5 years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi and I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad,” Tommy said.
“Bambi is our priority.
"Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time."
Molly-Mae and Tommy announced their engagement in July last year after the boxer popped the all-important question while on holiday.
However, the couple went on to say in separate press interviews that their marriage would likely not be taking place until 2025.
In June, Tommy told Closer: "We're not putting pressure on [getting married].
"We're enjoying being engaged and enjoying that period of our life, so we're in no rush.
"I don't know. You can't plan things like that. It just happens, doesn't it?"
