Molly Mae Hague has revealed she relied on "spanx, a giant pad and a lot of prayers" to fit into a skin-tight dress just days after giving birth, as she attended a boxing match to support her partner Tommy Fury.
The former Love Island star was ringside at Manchester's AO Arena on Saturday, cheering on Fury less than two weeks after welcoming their son Midas. She wore a form-fitting white calf-length dress from her own collection for the event, but reassured fans that this is not her typical postpartum look.
On her Instagram story, she wrote: "No gatekeeping with the spanx, also a GIANT pad and a lot of prayers." Sharing a photo of herself breastfeeding, with sick on her shoulder, she added: "Don't get it twisted! I pulled myself together for a few hours to support Tommy but this is the reality of most of my evenings currently. Taking deep breaths, covered in vomit, whilst being used as a human cow and trying to look after my other tiny little sassy human too!"
The couple are already parents to daughter Bambi, three. Hague, 27, continued: "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."
She reflected on her experience with Bambi: "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."
Fury revealed the name of their second child at the fight, where he defeated Eddie Hall. The name Midas was spelled out on the back of his shirt and boxing shorts as he entered the ring, and afterwards Fury dedicated his victory to his son.
Hague and Fury met on the fifth series of ITV's Love Island in 2019 and finished as runners-up.
