Newly single has been gushing about his ex in the wake of reports
Molly-Mae, who recently launched her own fashion line to mixed reviews, , five years on from first meeting in the villa. The former couple are now co-parenting their young daughter Bambi but
Speaking on Monday, Tommy revealed how his 21-month-old daughter is the main priority for himself and Molly-Mae as they navigate a new chapter in life. "[Bambi's] got an amazing family around her. She's got, what I feel, you know, the best father in me, and she's got the best mother in Molly," he told Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie on Capital XTRA Breakfast.
Tommy, younger brother of legend , went on to add: "She's got an unbelievable family and despite everything that's going on, there is nothing affecting that child's childhood, and that's the main thing. So, she's going to have a great time." He continued to state that "everything he does in life is for Bambi" and he makes sure he is always around to take her to things like ballet and swimming lessons.
The reality TV star explained: "At the end of the day, nothing comes before my daughter, Bambi. She is everything in my life. She's the best thing that I have in my life, and everything that I do now is for her. Every time I get in the ring, it's for making sure she has a secure future, and she doesn't need to worry. And everything revolves around her.
"So, most importantly, I factor my schedule around her swimming lessons, her ballet, her messy play, her gymnastics, like, whatever she may be doing, I'll be like, "Okay, Bambi has got this at this time, she's going there, I'm taking her". Like, nothing's going to get in the way of that."
The dad-of-one concluded: "I think that's all about being a father and being the best father, because that's all I want to do. My only goal in life now is that, for Bambi to grow up, and all the kids that have and say, 'Do you know what? I had a great dad. He's the best dad in the , and I love him very much.' That means more to me than any belts in the ring, any fight style, win, any amount of money that you can collect. That, from your kids, I feel is the most important thing."
she and made after their baby Bambi's birth, saying it "sends shivers down her spine". The Maebe opened up about her lack of parenting experience prior to welcoming one year old Bambi at the star of 2023, confessing that both she and then-beau Tommy Fury "were having a breakdown" in the initial weeks postpartum.
In her latest YouTube video blog, however, Molly-Mae didn't touch upon her love life, focusing instead on motherhood and narrating a "disaster" episode involving Bambi's nursery. She's seen catching up with elder sister Zoe while fielding questions during a car ride Q&A.
She confessed to her followers that before Bambi came along, her exposure to kids was minimal, saying: "The only child I had held was Bobby, which is Fran's son, that's the only child I'd been around, I really had no idea," and adding, "Those first few weeks of Bambi's life... hell and back. We were having a breakdown."
Molly-Mae also admitted her toddler started displaying some behavioural challenges: "She did start to hit. My best friend Taylor, her child Story is a similar age to Bambi and Bambi did start to hit Story. That came out of nowhere and I thought, 'that's not good'. And I think nursery will help with that."
Adding a slice of shared experience, Bambi's aunt Zoe said: "Amy Hart, when she had her baby, Stanley, they really split it, so he would do the night shift, she would do the day shift, and I do think sleep is the way forward. So if you've got help and got your partner there with you, rather than doing it all together."
Reflecting on the past, Molly confessed with a shudder: "Now I look back, it sends shivers down my spine, I had no idea what I was doing," as she opened up about the early parenting errors she and Tommy made with Bambi, and added, "That's what we did wrong. We did it all together. You have to get your sleep."
