New mum Molly-Mae Hague is clearly basking in seeing her boyfriend Tommy Fury as a dad after giving birth to the couple's first child. The former Love Island stars, who met on the ITV2 dating show in 2019, sent fans wild earlier this week when they announced the arrival of their baby girl.
Molly-Mae and Tommy, 23, confirmed that their daughter, who they have since announced they have named Bambi, had arrived as she turned a week old after making her entrance into the world on January 23.
The new parents shared the date her daughter was born with a smiling picture of the doting parents holding their bundle of joy while still in the hospital. The sweet black and white snap was simply captioned "23/01/23," and was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages.
Molly-Mae then returned to social media 24 hours later, on Tuesday (January 31), to confirm her daughter's much-anticipated name. The influencer shared a photo of her daughter lying in her cot in her stunning white nursery, and her name was written in lights above the newborn.
"Bambi" she wrote alongside a white love heart for her precious bundle of joy with Manchester boxer Tommy Fury. Fans flocked to say they loved the Disney-inspired name. It comes after fans previously speculated that Molly-Mae was going to call her first child Cloud or Halo.
Despite it only being a couple of days since the big announcement, Molly-Mae and Tommy haven't been able to resist sharing a glimpse into their new lives as mum and dad with their millions of social media followers.
Alongside a first set of pictures, Molly-Mae penned: "One week old today. I can't believe we get to keep you forever. Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me." She added alongside the image of herself and her partner snuggling their baby girl at home.: "It doesn't seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment.
But on Tuesday evening, Tommy took to Instagram to heap praise on his girlfriend alongside an intimate hospital snap. The images showed Molly-Mae in her hosptal gown as she sat on the bed while staring lovingly at their baby girl in a hospital crib next to her. "The best mummy in the entire world," the boxer gushed.
"Watching how you care for Bambi makes me love you more than I knew I could. You're everything I could have ever dreamed of for a mum and role model for our perfect girl. Thank you for making my dreams come true babe, I love you." He then shared a snap of himself holding his daughter in the hospital, writing; "Best day of my life."
He then jokingly added: "She was in the towel, I promise," as little Bambi disappeared among the white cover. And as he shared more precious moments of his little girl napping on his chest, Molly-Mae couldn't help but coo as she shared the post to her own Instagram Story: "Heart. Shattered."
Captioning his post, Tommy wrote: "Daddy’s little girl. Forever." And it appears Bambi might not be an only child for too long as Molly-Mae replied: "This pic makes me want 100."
It comes after Molly-Mae's mum and sister both paid tribute to their new niece and granddaughter. "My beautiful Niece," Zoe penned alongside photos of her looking in awe at Bambi as well as snaps of her partner, Danny, sharing a nap with the newborn at home. "Already having the most magical time with you, I love you so much."
Molly's mum Debbie also shared a sweet snap of her with their daughter on Instagram. Planting a kiss on her grandchild's head, she captioned the post: "Beyond happy and proud to welcome this beautiful bundle of joy ……. can’t wait for her first sleepover at grandma’s." She then joked: "@mollymae @tommyfury don’t expect me to give her back."
