Love Island star Molly Smith turned heads on Wednesday as she stepped out for a pre-Christmas gym session with her footballer fiancé, Tom Clare. The 31-year-old reality TV winner showcased her toned physique in a pair of tiny hotpants, pairing the skintight garment with a faux fur coat to ward off the winter chill.
Couple's Fitness Date in Manchester
Molly, who styled her blonde hair in a ponytail, completed her athletic look with a pair of bright green trainers. Her partner, 26-year-old Tom Clare – a forward for Macclesfield FC – opted for a light grey hoodie, black shorts, and carried a brown gym bag for their outing in Manchester.
The couple, who triumphed together on the 2024 series of Love Island: All Stars, have been inseparable since the show. Both had previously appeared on separate seasons of the hit ITV2 programme before returning for the All Stars edition.
From Villa Victory to Real-Life Engagement
Molly and Tom announced their engagement in September with a romantic series of photos from a trip to Dubai. In the snaps, Tom was seen lifting a delighted Molly into the air. She wore a elegant white silk dress, flashing a sparkling engagement ring surrounded by candles and white flowers.
They captioned the post: 'SHE SAID YES!!!', prompting an outpouring of congratulations from their fellow Islanders. Tom's best pal from the villa, Casey O'Gorman, reshared the post with crying emojis, while Liberty Poole, Paige Thorne, and Luca Bish added their best wishes in the comments.
Their relationship has proven to be one of the most enduring to emerge from the All Stars spin-off. Molly was originally a bombshell entry, which shocked her ex-boyfriend Callum Jones, whom she met on the 2020 winter series. While viewers speculated about a reunion, Molly pursued a connection with Tom instead.
Life After Love Island
Since winning All Stars, Molly has secured several lucrative brand deals. Her portfolio now includes partnerships with:
- Clothing retailer boohoo
- US fitness supplement brand Alani Nu
- Jewellery brand Abbott Lyon
- Global makeup giants L'Oréal Paris and Maybelline
In an interview with the Daily Mail last year, Molly gushed about her relationship with Tom. "You know sometimes when you think, 'Is this too good to be true?'" she said. "I don't like jinxing things but right now I can't fault our relationship."
She also addressed their five-year age difference, noting, "Tom for his age, shows so much maturity and he's actually treated me better than anyone I've been with...". The couple are planning to move in together officially, a step Molly described as the natural next phase.
Meanwhile, runners-up Callum Jones and Eve Gale split just weeks after the show finished, amid cheating allegations which Callum denied, stating they had already separated.
