Molly-Mae reveals ‘mental’ issue with Bambi means she has to be watched at all times

Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague revealed that her daughter Bambi – shared with ex Tommy Fury – was going through a difficult ‘era’

Molly-Mae Hague, 25, opened up about her idyllic weekend in a new YouTube vlog, but admitted that some “mental” behaviour from daughter Bambi was on her mind.

Molly-Mae shares Bambi – who’ll turn two later this month – with her ex Tommy Fury, 25. Molly-Mae and Tommy met on Love Island in 2019, and went on to move in together and welcome Bambi, in January 2023. However, the ITV stars announced their split in August 2024 – before seeming to rekindle things over the festive season.

Molly-Mae revealed that she spent her weekend with Bambi, alongside close pal Tayla Blue and the latter’s family. “Jack, Tayla, and Storie just left, they’ve been here all weekend. We had a really gorgeous weekend with the girls… although, Bambi was in her H-I-T-T-I-N-G era. She was in her hitting era again,” she sadly shared.

“And she was… the two people she does it with – it’s so weird – she does it with Storie, and she does it with my mum. And she doesn’t do it with anybody else, and why, we aren’t sure. But I’m not going to focus on it too much because we’re being positive.”

Molly-Mae added: “Anyway we had a lovely weekend, besides Bambi needing to be watched at literally every single entire moment because the minute we took our eye off her for a second, prime opportunity for her to just go and just [mimes hitting].

“It’s mental. I don’t know why, I don’t know. It was getting better, and then this weekend has made me realise, actually, we’re definitely not out of that era yet.”

Molly-Mae first opened up about Bambi beginning to hit people back in December, admitting that she was upset by the new behaviour. At that point, however, Bambi’s actions were targeted towards Molly-Mae herself.

“But, she has started this new – I don’t know if it’s like a terrible twos thing because she’s turning two in Jan. But she’s been a little bit hitty and smacky, and she keeps doing this thing like if I’m in front of her, she like goes for my face and grabs my face really hard. Yesterday she fully left a nail mark in my face from where she was grabbing me,” she said.

Molly-Mae described: “She keeps grabbing onto my neck, and squeezing so hard and digging her nails in, and she knows she’s doing it to hurt. Which is just so bizarre, because you just end up thinking to yourself ‘where have you learned that behaviour?’ Is that something that I’ve caused, to make you act like that?”

Despite the daunting development, Molly-Mae recently revealed how proud she was of her little one during a rare mention of Tommy.

Discussing co-parenting with the boxer and how they’ve navigated their split, Molly-Mae confessed: “I’m really proud of the job Tommy and I have done so far with raising [Bambi]. We’ve really protected her, and she’s so young I feel like she’s not felt this happening.”

The influencer also revealed to Grazia how she felt about her experience with the postpartum stage. Molly-Mae shared: “I used to sit and think ‘This isn’t how I imagined it would look’. And I was confused as to why I felt like it looked one way for other people, but then one way for me. I didn’t feel like I was enjoying it really, but as the months passed, I feel like I have really found my feet now. I love motherhood so much.”
