Hague has shared a special bond with Bambi since the day she was born.
In a February 2023 YouTube video, the reality star opened up about the unconditional love she feels toward her daughter, saying, "The minute she was born, I have just connected with her on a whole other level."
She got emotional while talking about "the love" she feels toward Bambi, adding that "there is literally nothing on this planet that I wouldn't do for her."
Fury echoed similar sentiments during an October 2024 appearance on Capital XTRA where he shared that his "only goal in life now" is for Bambi to grow up telling people she had the "best dad."
"That'll mean more to me than any belts in the ring, any fights that I win, any amount of money that you can collect," the boxer said.
Now, Hague is giving her followers a more intimate look into her life with Bambi — and her split from Fury — in the Prime documentary Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which hits the platform on Jan. 17.
From her birth story to the origin of her name, here's everything to know about Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury's daughter Bambi.
She was born on Jan. 23, 2023
Hague and Fury welcomed Bambi on Jan. 23, 2023. They announced the news in a joint Instagram post, and the new mom later revealed in the February 2023 YouTube video that Bambi was born at exactly 7 lbs.
A week after giving birth, the new mom posted on her Instagram Stories thanking Bambi for "entering this world safely" and promising to "love and care" for her unconditionally.
"I can't believe we get to keep you forever," she wrote. "Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me… it doesn't seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment."
Hague first announced her pregnancy in September 2022 when she posted a video to her YouTube channel titled "The next chapter...🤍" that included clips from when she revealed to Fury she was pregnant, early doctor visits and the sex reveal.
Fans in the comments were especially excited for the reality TV star given that she had opened up a few months earlier about having endometriosis, a condition that can make it difficult to get pregnant, per the Mayo Clinic.
Hague called Bambi’s birth a “magical experience”
From announcing her pregnancy to documenting her third trimester, Hague was candid about her pregnancy journey from start to finish.
In the February 2023 video, she shared more details about Bambi's birth, including how she "enjoyed" labor thanks to an epidural.
"I could still feel everything. I had all the sensations, but I was not in any pain," she said, later adding that it was "the most magical experience of my entire life."
"I will never ever, ever get over it," Hague continued.
The former PrettyLittleThing creative director also expressed her gratitude toward the nurse who enabled her to experience a vaginal birth instead of a C-section. Initially concerned about Bambi's movement and heart rate, the doctors were hesitant to proceed with further pushing.
She was about to be wheeled down for the procedure until the doctor did "one last check" that showed she "miraculously" had gone from 3 to 7 centimeters dilated in 20 minutes, allowing her to fulfill her wish of having a vaginal birth.
Hague had Bambi’s name picked out since she was a kid
During an interview on Loose Women in March 2023, Fury opened up about how Bambi got her name — which Hague later revealed on TikTok was inspired by the Walt Disney character of the same name.
The boxer shared that after many conversations in and out of the Villa about having babies, "there was only one name for our little girl and it was Bambi."
"When Molly was young she only ever wanted to call her little daughter one thing and that was Bambi," he said. "So I'm not going to be that guy to say no so, and I love the name anyway."
During the February 2023 vlog, however, Hague opened up about the "hard day" she experienced when she announced her baby's name.
"We had gotten so used to the idea of that being her name," she said. "To us, it wasn't really unusual anymore and I know it is definitely unusual and unique and not going to be to everyone's taste. And when we announced it, in my mind I was like, 'It's just beautiful. That's just her. She's Bambi and that's just this beautiful name and it's amazing.' "
However, Hague's announcement was met with negative comments, leading her to be "brought down to planet Earth very, very quickly" about how "nasty this world can be."
Hague and Fury continue to co-parent their daughter
Although Hague and Fury ended their engagement — which Bambi was part of — they have both spoken about continuing to co-parent their daughter.
In September 2024, one month after their split, Hague gave an update on her vlog channel about co-parenting and shared that things were "going well."
"We went to a soft play this morning and then Tommy picked Bambi up this afternoon, spent the afternoon with her," she said.
Fury opened up further about their commitment to co-parenting during an October 2024 appearance on Capital XTRA, saying that Bambi has an "amazing family around her."
"She's got, what I feel, the best father in me and she's got the best mother in Molly," he said. "She's got an unbelievable family ... Despite everything that's going on, there is nothing affecting that child's childhood."
Fury added that "everything revolves around her" and explained how he factors his life around her schedule, including taking her to swimming, ballet and gymnastics practice.
She made Hague into the “best version” of herself
Since entering motherhood, Hague's life has changed in multiple ways. In March 2023, she shared a glimpse of her daughter's impact on Instagram, writing, "You’ve made me into the best version of myself beautiful girl."
As for Fury, he shared in Hague's February 2023 vlog that becoming a dad was "single-handedly the best thing that has ever happened so far and the best thing that will ever happen in my entire life."
"Work, holidays, whatever, it just doesn't compare to being a father and having your own family," he continued. "It's the best feeling in the world."
She is well traveled
Bambi was going on vacations before she had even turned 1. In April 2023, Hague posted an Instagram video of 2-month-old Bambi on an airplane watching Harry Potter, writing, "POV- you’re going on your first holiday ✈️ (yes I have her watching HP already)."
Since then, Bambi has traveled with her parents across the globe, from Barbados and the Maldives to Greece and Paris.
