As the much-loved couple call it quits, MailOnline takes a look at how their fortune could be split…
Tommy Fury’s statement in full:
Tommy said: ‘I am heartbroken to share that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship.
‘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. Bambi is our priority.
‘Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time.’
Posts shared to Tommy’s Snapchat, hours before the split announcement, hinted that his relationship with Molly-Mae was stronger than ever.
The snaps showed the sportsman doting on his daughter Bambi before heading out for a dessert date with the reality star.
What did Molly-Mae say in her break-up statement?
The star said: ‘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.
‘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.
‘I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. 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. Molly-Mae x.’
The couple were usually so meticulous about what they chose to share with the world – Molly-Mae would sometimes spend up to five hours a time planning photos for their Instagram pages.
But over the last six months the 25-year-old was spotted in public without her massive engagement ring and sharing hastily organised pictures on social media, something her boxer boyfriend has admitted to not seeing the point of.
Meanwhile, Tommy was seen partying with women during work trips abroad and going on holidays without his fiance and their young daughter, Bambi, and Molly-Mae herself admitted they had not been intimate in the 11 months since her birth.

Fans should know that Molly-Mae is anything but predictable and is used to mixing things up – namely her evolving sense of style.
She first entered the villa as a bright-eyed 20-year-old woman from Hertfordshire with bronze skin, bleach-blonde tresses and vibrant colourful outfits.
But half a decade on the blonde beauty has toned down her reality star look and is now opting for ‘less is more’ when it comes to her wardrobe, make-up and hair.
Weeks before Molly-Mae and Tommy got engaged, the star had expressed her fears that he was cheating on her, having noticed he had become protective of his phone.
The clip of Molly-Mae sharing her concerns has resurfaced in the wake of their split.
To casual observers they look like any young couple in love, both dressed for a wedding, both offering broad smiles, his arm lovingly wrapped around her waist while cradling their infant daughter.
But it would be last photo of Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury before their the couple confirmed their five-year relationship is over on Wednesday.
The couple – who met on Love Island and welcomed daughter Bambi last year – have shown signs that not all was perfect and have been dogged by rumours their relationship was on the rocks
The boxer sparked concern between his and Molly-Mae’s fans after he was spotted in a clip being targeted by an attractive brunette – who playfully grabbed his face as he dances directly behind her.
The behaviour didn’t impress Molly, with a source telling The Sun: ‘Molly has made no secret of the fact she doesn’t like it when Tommy parties too hard.
‘This weekend has ended up being a real embarrassment to her. She was mortified when she kept getting tagged in videos while she was just trying to enjoy a festive weekend with Bambi.’
The former creative director of PrettyLittleThing gave her fans on Instagram a close-up of the surprise gift and captioned the photo ‘1 year as a fiancé (sic)’.
