Molly-Mae Hague has reflected on having a second child, saying that having already been a mum for two years, she understands that each day is a ‘phase’
Molly-Mae Hague has opened up about thinking her “life was over” after becoming a mum. The star, who found fame on Love Island with her now-fiancé, Tommy Fury, welcomed their first child, daughter Bambi, in January 2023.
And earlier this month, Molly gave birth to their second child, a son, Midas, at London’s swanky Portland Hospital. But while most new mums embrace their new chapter, the 27-year-old has reflected on the “difficult” days she faced with her eldest.
Taking to Instagram in view of her 8.7 million followers, the influencer shared a snap of herself, with little Midas nestled into her neck as she lay in bed. Captioning her post, Molly-Mae penned: “The best part for me about doing this second time round is knowing wholeheartedly that every hard day, stage and chapter with your child is honestly just a phase. No difficult day with your baby lasts forever and no tricky chapter stays the same.
“The comfort I’ve taken in that this time around has made me feel so different.” She added: “With Bambi I used to sit staring out of the window while breastfeeding thinking my life was over (as dramatic as it sounds). I thought I’d never sleep again, never get a moment to myself and never really be able to cope. I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel because I hadn’t reached it yet.
“But this time I know it’s there. I know there will still be challenging moments but I also know how quickly it all goes. I’ll blink and I won’t have a tiny newborn anymore and if anything, that’s the part that makes me sad.
“The peace I’ve felt this second time round, simply from knowing it’s all going to be okay, has honestly changed everything.” Earlier this weekend, Molly made her first major public outing as Tommy battled against Eddie Hall at the AO Arena in Manchester, which he won.
“What a weekend,” she told her fans as she shared a snap of the professional boxer with her son’s name on the back of his jacket. However, despite her glamorous appearance on the night, Molly later shared the reality of her outing.
Sharing a picture of herself breastfeeding Midas, she said: “Don’t get it twisted. I pulled myself together for a few hours to support Tommy but this is the reality of most my evenings currently.
“Taking deep breaths, covered in vomit, whilst being used as a human cow and trying to look after my other little sassy human too!” And while Molly is juggling the challenges of having two small children, she acknowledges that while she knows she will sleep again soon, her children won’t be little forever.
“This time, I really feel it when they say ‘You’ll sleep again, but they’ll never be this little again’,” she penned on social media. Speaking prior to his fight, Tommy joked that he had been asked about their son’s name more than anything.
He went on to say of family life: “I’ve had a smile on my on my face all week. Everything’s gone smoothly; Molly’s happy, everyone’s happy. So it’s just about getting on to fight night, getting that done, and enjoying the summer with the family.
“That’s what’s on my calendar for the foreseeable. It’s been the best week that you could ever ask for. A beautiful baby boy.”
