After welcoming their daughter Bambi later in January 2023, they announced their engagement in August of the same year. However they parted ways a year later following what Fury called the “worst months of my life”. Fury has now candidly addressed the real reasons behind the breakup, amid rumours of infidelity.
“We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. It kills me to say it, but I couldn’t. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.”. He added: “People go through different things in life. I’m 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world. It was talked about on Good MorningBritain and I’ve received so much hate for it.
“The most upsetting thing is that not once did anyone say, ‘Oh, he might be going through something a bit more serious. He might be in a bad spot.’ Not one person said that.”. Directly addressing speculation he had cheated on the influencer, Fury hit out: “Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.
“You need to get a grip of it. If you’re in the same spot as me, where you just think that it’s going to cure all your problems, it doesn’t. You wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try and feel happy again. That’s the cycle of it.”.
