"Molly-Mae x"
Tommy has now released his own statement on the split, posted to his social media.
He wrote: "I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.
"The past 5 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."
He continued: "Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time."
Molly Mae admits she’s struggling to solo parent without Tommy Fury and work during ‘challenging’ period
The pair became Love Island legends when they fell for each other on series four, back in 2019.
They got engaged while on holiday in Ibiza in July 2023 - with Molly-Mae saying at the time: "My perfect fiancé… forever wouldn’t be long enough to call you mine."
Tommy popped the question six months after Molly-Mae gave birth to their daughter Bambi.
The influencer often called Tommy her "world" - insisting they were soulmates.
Three weeks ago Molly-Mae posted footage from her engagement as Tommy got down on one knee while she held Bambi.
Molly was gushing that it had been a year since their engagement, and wrote: "One year ago today I was tricked into going on a fake brand trip on which the love of my life would ask me to marry him."
The couple were already planning to have more children together, with Tommy admitting he wanted to have a total of ten kids.
However, in a new vlog posted last week, Molly admitted she'd been feeling guilt as she struggled to find balance in her life while Tommy was away.

Meanwhile after leaving Love Island, Tommy has been concentrating on his boxing career.
The pair are often on separate ventures around the world, sometimes spending weeks apart.
'Molly and Tommy appeared to be picture perfect, their break-up was completely unexpected'
BY Ellie Henman, Bizarre Editor
GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months, the pair had faced rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women - all while Molly-Mae was at home holding their baby.
Her statement smacks of something that has yet to come to light.
Although she’s written it with a clever PR eye watching over it, Molly’s devastation spills out in every word.
As I type, my WhatsApp groups are flashing up with texts about how this seemingly rock solid couple have crumbled into nothing.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed – after he pulled an elaborate stunt which ended up with him getting down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, complete with Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and, later, the arrival of their daughter Bambi, appeared to outsiders to be picture perfect.
Molly has built her brand around her wholesome family life with Tommy.
Cosy photographs are carefully curated for her Instagram grid, with her 7.9million followers poring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I, along with a number of my friends, follow on social media for her girl next door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but there is something shocking about the ending of what, on the surface, appeared to be such a happy relationship.
Earlier this year, at Soccer Aid, Tommy was cagey when asked about their upcoming wedding plans by one of my colleagues.
It wasn’t altogether too strange, as most blokes aren’t overly keen to chat about their missus when they're with their mates playing football.
But it was a definite gear change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, as he was always so gushing about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a number of Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths, will now be combing the internet and social media for clues.
And given the number of calls coming into our desk, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae ended things with Tommy will come to light in the next few hours.
As a genuine fan and follower, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Break ups suck at the best of times. But when you’re in the public eye, and you choose to announce your split so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – they are a hell of a lot harder.
