Tommy Fury's family are reportedly feeling excluded following the birth of his son, Midas Thomas, sparking rumors of a rift with his fiancée, Molly-Mae Hague. Hague, an influencer, welcomed her second child with Fury earlier this month.
Sources suggest that the arrival of the new baby has not eased existing tensions between Hague and members of Fury's family. "Ultimately, Molly comes from a different world to Tommy, and in spite of the best of efforts at times, there have always been difficulties blending their worlds and their wider families," a source told The Sun. These sources claim ongoing grumbling and remarks over family expectations and the amount of time Fury's family spends with the children.
The family reportedly had hoped to be more involved in the children's lives but feel this has not been the case, leading to "some hurt behind the scenes." These sentiments have reportedly been exacerbated by Hague's recent YouTube video where she expressed contentment with having two children and stated she is "99.9 per cent sure her family is now complete." This comment was said to have "gone down really badly" within Fury's family, particularly within the Traveling community where larger families are considered the norm.
However, a source close to Molly-Mae Hague has denied any rift between her and Tommy Fury's family. Hague herself spoke candidly in her YouTube video about her experiences as a mother. She noted a significant difference in her postpartum feelings compared to when she gave birth to her first child, Bambi, three years ago. Hague stated she "really struggled" in the first six months after Bambi's birth and believes she may have experienced postpartum depression.
She described going from zero to one child as a "really, really challenging" adjustment, feeling as though her "old life" had ended and she was "mourning" her previous self. In contrast, she finds the transition to two children easier, having already made the significant adjustment to motherhood with Bambi. Hague acknowledged that life will become more challenging as Midas gets older but expressed she is content with their family of four.
Elsewhere in the video, Hague clarified the inspiration behind their son's name, Midas. While the name is associated with Greek mythology and King Midas, who possessed a "golden touch," Hague revealed the name was inspired by the 2011 film "Real Steel." The movie, starring Hugh Jackman, is set in a future where robots compete in boxing matches. Hague stated that she and Fury had considered the name Midas for a boy for several years. Their son's full name is Midas Thomas Fury.
