The Maebe founder previously admitted she was “traumatized” by having to spend the first month of motherhood alone, telling fans she didn’t sleep for a week after giving birth and was “overwhelmed.”

Although the couple decided to get back together in May after calling off their engagement in August 2024, their family is also said to be upset that “nothing has changed”.

Insiders said sister Zoe in particular was less than impressed with Tommy’s decision, having previously moved in with Molly to help after Bambi’s birth and has never hidden her disapproval of the boxer.

“It’s a real shame that Tommy has once again been busy for the first few weeks and of course this has caught the eye of Zoe, who has never been his biggest fan,” a source told The Sun.

‘In many ways it seems like nothing has changed and she’s back to the way she was before, but Molly knows she can do this alone.

‘His family would like him to have a traditional relationship and for Tommy to take paternity leave like other fathers, but they know that won’t happen. Everybody really hopes that it doesn’t all fall apart and that they have an easier journey than last time.’

According to the publication, fans also voiced criticism towards Tommy for scheduling his fight so close to Molly-Mae’s due date.

One fan wrote: ‘This is truly crazy… He knows how much he impressed Molly the first time but he’s doing it again? But at the same time, it will be so stressful throughout the entire process? Why would you want this for both baby and mother?

While another added: ‘Has it been made clear how difficult newborn life with Bambi was because she wasn’t there and he’s doing it again?”

A third echoed: ‘So he’s doing it again like in Bambi,’ while a fourth lamented: ‘This is so awful. I really feel sorry for him. Nothing changes’.

However, she has previously told how she felt her ‘life was over’ after giving birth to Bambi and had ‘really bad’ periods in the first few weeks.

She also described how Tommy became ‘really ill’ in his absence, being completely dependent on his family’s support.

Speaking in her YouTube vlog, Molly said: ‘For the first four weeks of Bambi’s life I really did this on my own and was home alone with him.

‘I pushed a lot of people away, I don’t know why. It sounds dramatic and intense, but I think I’ve been a bit traumatized from the first few weeks.

‘Traumatised is a really strong word, but I am a bit like that. ‘I shudder when I look back on the first few weeks he came home, I had no idea what I was doing.’

“For the first two weeks — and this is total TMI — I experienced severe constipation,” she continued. ‘The constipation I experienced in the first two weeks was actually harder than my pains. I know it sounds crazy.’

He recalled an episode where he squatted in the shower and ‘screamed for Zoe to call an ambulance’.

Addressing his decision to fight the day after Molly gave birth, Tommy insisted: ‘I have a job but obviously I love my family too.’
