By Ellen Madden

Molly-Mae Hague was born on the twenty-sixth of May, 1999, in Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. Molly-Mae is a well-known self-made influencer and businesswoman who found fame online and on TV. Despite this, Molly-Mae grew up living a normal life. She enjoyed activities such as Irish dancing, beauty pageants, having sleepovers with friends, and spending time with her sister, and step-parents.

In 2019, Molly-Mae went on Love Island in the fifth series as a business move but found love with Tommy Fury and finished in second place. She launched a self-tanning brand called Filter by Molly-Mae in 2019 after Love Island, which is inclusive to different skin colours, and is a remarkably successful business.

Love Island also helped launch her business career. As she signed a five-hundred-thousand-pound contract to become a PrettyLittleThing ambassador. In August 2021, Molly-Mae was promoted to Creative Director until June 2023, when she stepped down to spend more time with her family.

Becoming Molly-Mae was published on the first of October 2022 by Ebury Spotlight. This autobiography is available in paperback, hardcover, audiobook, and Kindle editions. Molly-Mae describes owning her body image, manifesting what she wants from life, overcoming self-doubt, dealing with heartbreaks, childhood, and finding fame. She shares her biggest life moments, life lessons learnt, and relationships with various people. Throughout the memoir, Molly-Mae highlights how she became happier, living life without any shame, more fulfilled, and finding beauty in her daily life.

Tommy Fury is the father of her daughter Bambi, born on the twenty-third of January 2023. In August 2024, Molly-Mae broke it off with her fiancé due to his drinking problem, which she talks about in her documentary Molly-Mae: Behind it All, released in January 2025 on Amazon Prime Video. A month after the breakup, in September 2024, Molly-Mae launched a clothing brand called Maebe in hopes of making premium fashion more affordable.

Molly-Mae also has a very aesthetically pleasing YouTube channel where she vlogs her life and shares it to her YouTube ‘family’. She has been doing this for years and has almost 2 million subscribers.
