Tommy Fury left fans shocked yesterday (15 Jan) by finally revealing the reason why he and Molly-Mae called it quits on their relationship.
What the boxer, 25, might not have realised, however, is that his ex-beau would also be addressing their split for the first time that very same day.
Speaking to press in a bombshell interview ahead of her new Prime Video documentary's release, not only did Molly-Mae address that hotly-debated New Year's Eve kiss, but she made a heartbreaking admission about the possibility of a reunion.

For those in need of a refresher, the Love Island duo released an unexpected statement back in August revealing they'd officially parted ways - just 12 months after getting engaged.
After meeting on the ITV2 dating show in 2019, Molly-Mae and Tommy had previously moved into a plush Cheshire mansion together, and welcomed their first child, Bambi, who's now two years old.
The 25-year-old mother-of-one shared an emotional statement on Instagram at the time, admitting: "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."
In the six months since, rumours have been rife regarding what could have prompted the split, with the majority of theories pointing fingers at Tommy, accusing him of having been unfaithful.
The sportsman has vehemently denied these claims, however, insisting in a chat with MensHealth yesterday it was due to his own problems with alcohol that the couple split up.
The same day, however, Molly-Mae also spoke about the split - including the theory that it was a farce used to promote her fashion line, new documentary, and Tommy's return to boxing.
This speculation was further fuelled by a photo leaked by The Sun on New Year's Day, which supposedly saw the exes kissing at a party the evening prior.
"I do talk about [those rumours] in the opening scene, [of Behind It All]," she began.
"I think that, for me, above everything, has been the most frustrating part because – I literally say in the documentary – I wish it was a publicity stunt, because it would be a lot easier. Going through all this, the turmoil of a break-up, has been hard."
She went on to admit: "And I think, to have those comments – and I do see those comments, people saying this has obviously just been done launch my brand, or a publicity stunt – that is very painful to me because it’s real life.
"Tommy and I have a baby together, and it’s very, very real. It’s a really hard thing that we’ve gone through these last six months.
"But yeah, I wish it was a publicity stunt, but it isn’t.
"I think this documentary will clear up any question of that – you see a real side to it. It’s a bit like you’re a fly on the wall, and like I say, I think people will be surprised by how honest we’ve been."
Despite fans initially being unsure it was Tommy and Molly-Mae in the controversial kissing snap - which subsequently set tongues wagging about the possibility of a reunion - Molly-Mae also discussed the incident with press.
Asked explicitly whether the lip-locking moment with Tommy was the first of many, she nervously admitted: "Yeah, I think it’s just – we are navigating a really complicated time in both of our lives in the public eye. And I think, this is a whole new territory for me.
"Tommy and mine’s relationship has been in the public eye always, but to deal with this break-up with millions of eyes watching, it’s hard and it is complicated."
And after seemingly confirming the pair did enjoy a smooch when the clock struck midnight, Molly-Mae added: "The reason why I don’t comment on it or speak about it on my YouTube is because, simply, we’re both navigating it ourselves.
"We’re both figuring it out as adults and as parents. We’re doing the best we can.
"But I really do feel like the documentary is going to answer a lot of questions, and we’re going to touch on that situation – you’ll see a snippet.
"The last thing I want is any confusion."
Molly-Mae: Behind It All eps 1-3 launch exclusively on Prime Video on 17th January. The latter three episodes will drop in Spring 2025.
