Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury reveal son’s name at boxing match
Former Love Island contestants Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have announced the name of their second child.
Boxer Fury, 27, revealed that their baby son, who was born earlier this month, is called Midas when he entered the ring ahead of his fight with Eddie Hall in Manchester on Saturday night (13 June).
Fury’s shorts had the word “Midas” emblazoned on them, and the former reality star later wore an England shirt with the name and the number two written on the back.
“This was for my new baby son, Midas,” Fury told the crowd after beating Hall in his comeback fight. “Welcome to the world!”
The couple, who met on Love Island in 2019 and finished in second place, announced the birth of baby number two on 3 June, sharing a black and white photo on Instagram that showed the couple and their first child, three-year-old Bambi, greeting the newborn.
“… And then there were 4,” the caption read.
The name Midas is a reference to Greek and Roman mythology, in which King Midas wishes that everything he touches might turn to gold.
When he is given this gift, however, he soon learns that his dreams of unlimited wealth have a major downside, as everything from the food he eats to the people he loves turns into cold metal.
Influencer Hague, 27, previously hinted that their second child’s name was “definitely not as different as Bambi”, although she noted that she had only ever heard of one child with the same name.
“ I had this complex about people saying it wrong, and I’ve spelled it out, and then a few of my friends have said it completely wrong,” she explained in a YouTube video.
“It’s definitely not as different as Bambi, I wouldn’t say, but I have only ever heard one other child be called it and it’s not someone in the public eye,” she added. “It’s literally just someone I am connected to through a friend, someone they know, their child is called it.”
“But I just think it sounds so good with the surname Fury that is another reason why I love it so much,” she said.
Hague and Fury got engaged in 2023, but then split up the following year, before confirming that they had reconciled in 2025.
