Just months after the couple got back together following Love Island Tommy's booze battle, tension is said to be brewing over Molly-Mae's public struggles with parenting their daughter Bambi.
The two-year-old's temper tantrum this week led reality star Molly to film herself breaking down in tears in despair.
The 26-year-old cried 'I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed' as she opened up about the "huge problems" she faces as a mum of one.
But the heartfelt moment seems to have bothered her Irish Traveller in-laws who are more used to the no-nonsense attitude of Paris Fury - the wife of Tommy's boxing legend brother Tyson - who has seven children.
A source told The Sun: "Within the Travelling community, having a big family with lots of children is the norm.
"Tommy's relatives have been hopeful that he and Molly will have more children after getting back on track.
"They care about her so much and are concerned, but also worried about how publicly she's venting about motherhood.
"The family are used to Paris's attitude of being able to work, run the house and bring up her seven kids with Tyson without complaint.
"Molly voicing how difficult she's finding it is surprising. They've been reaching out to support her through this tough time.
"Of course it's natural for Molly to share the good, the bad and the ugly with her fans - no matter what anyone says.
Molly-Mae admits real reason she's not filming with Tommy Fury after breaking down in tears on camera
"She is determined to open up fully to her followers, whatever the backlash, and encourage the family to see it from her perspective."
Molly-Mae has previously said she is 'selfish' and is 'not cut out' to deal with the stresses of parenting.
It's in stark contrast to Tommy's sister-in-law Paris who was praised for her resilience in the family's Netflix documentary, At Home with the Furys.
Molly‑Mae herself has described the 35-year-old as "wonder woman", having formed a close bond as Fury WAGs.

Sadly, Paris was left heartbroken in May 2024 when she miscarried her eighth child while six months pregnant, days before Tyson's highly-anticipated fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
She had previously revealed plans to have 10 children with her heavyweight champion husband, admitting: "There are times when it's stressful, but I enjoy it. I like that kind of chaotic life."
Meanwhile Molly's breakdown over her daughter's "terrible twos" followed furious backlash online about being "out of touch".
The businesswoman was accused of 'moaning" after telling fans she's not done one "fun thing" this summer despite jetting off to Dubai, Disneyland Paris and Budapest.
Addressing the upset as she sobbed about motherhood, Molly admitted: 'I'm trying so so hard to stay positive and have a really nice day but I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see… every single thing is a huge problem.
'I can't even get like socks and shoes on'.

She added: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it.'
She sobbed: 'We're at a little local farm near us and Zoe and Bambi have gone in, just to leave me to calm down for a minute.'
Despite her comments seemingly causing upset, Molly has no intention of censoring herself when it comes to what she posts online.
Loving fans have flooded her with messages of support to assure her she's not alone in how she's feeling.
One said: "You are amazing. Truly. Please don't ever feel like a failure. You're doing your absolute best, and it shows. You're not alone — so many of us are just trying to survive each day. And that's enough. You're enough."
Another added: "You are an amazing mum. All children go through these moments. Plus we have more sensitive days where everything can feel 100 times worse. You are not alone!! You are amazing."
Someone else wrote: "Hey Molly, you're doing a great job. Everyone's personality is different and every mum handles their child in different ways.
"Some mums wake up enjoying every minute, including the screaming and shouting and some despise it."
Molly faced immense pressure to open up about her brief split from Tommy last year after he turned to alcohol to cope while injured from boxing.

The Sun revealed the pair rekindled at a New Year's Eve party at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw's home before Molly spoke out about their troubles weeks later in her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
Our source added: "Molly is always unapologetically herself.
"She's got a thick skin and can deal with what people throw at her. It's more important to Molly that she's authentic about how she's dealing with being a mum.
"She's been through a lot in the past year and is just focused on her family.
"Molly loves Bambi more than anything and who knows what the future will hold about having more kids."
The Sun has reached out to Molly and Tommy's reps.

Dua Lipa, the people's critic
I don't think it's too much of a reach for me to assume that, if you're reading this, your preferred method of consuming literary criticism is in the pages of an esteemed 122-year-old magazine, perhaps alongside the weekend newspaper supplements. That's not to say you don't do other media. Perhaps you were a fan of Radio 4's Open Book before the BBC shuttered it at the end of last year. You might never miss an episode of the much-loved Backlisted podcast. It's likely you get to the Hay or Cheltenham festivals when you can. But the foremost champion of books right now, you might be surprised to hear, is a pop star. Dua Lipa's Service95 Book Club, for which the global pop powerhouse interviews acclaimed authors, has been a regular fixture on YouTube since 2023. In that time, Lipa has spoken to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Hernán Díaz, the Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk and the novelist-turned-public intellectual Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Clearly, Lipa has taste. The singer's love of books extends beyond this platform: she often posts pouty Instagram portraits where she holds up a recommended title, and has for several years been associated with the Booker Prize, speaking movingly at its 2022 ceremony about how reading the works of the novelist Ismail Kadare as a teenager helped her connect with her family's Kosovan-Albanian heritage. 'I often wonder if authors realise just how many gifts they give us,' she said then. Now, Service95 Book Club is available in podcast form. It delivers, for all intents and purposes, a classic author interview format: Lipa introduces a writer, and together they discuss the major themes of one of their books. She asks about the origin of the tale, as well as their linguistic and formal choices. Across 40-45 minutes, the episode becomes a thorough exploration of the text in question. Lipa's podcast isn't revolutionary. It doesn't imagine a new critical form altogether in the way BookTok did five or so years ago. But it nonetheless marks a significant shift in the landscape of mainstream literary media. As many publications' literary pages have steadily decreased in number and readership, book coverage on the radio has thinned and decent literary programming on TV remains a fantasy, a new approach has emerged: here is a glamorous, 29-year-old chart-topper taking a break from headlining stadiums around the world to lead the charge for books. The book snobs won't want to hear it, but for the most part Lipa is a satisfying interviewer. She chooses quality texts, not just the obvious latest bestsellers. In recent months her guests have included Max Porter, the author of Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, and Guadalupe Nettel, the Mexican writer whose novel Still Born has found acclaim in English translation. Lipa selects books published by independent presses as well as the 'Big Five', is unafraid of tackling weighty political themes, and isn't confined by the publishing cycle, often choosing titles that appeared years ago. Like any good critic, she thinks deeply about each of the texts she discusses. Her recent episode with Vincent Delecroix, the French author of the International Booker-shortlisted novel Small Boat – a story of 27 migrants who die while crossing the Channel, told from the perspective of an onshore operator who refuses to provide help – is a showcase in close reading and moral clarity. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe Admittedly, not all of the episodes are stellar: Lipa's chat with the American novelist Ocean Vuong gets a little soppy and self-congratulatory, and I have once too often heard her perform a real bugbear of mine: answering her own question in the question, therefore assuming a response rather than leaving it open for the author. But there is no doubt she is championing literary culture among a generation – hell, a population – for whom reading has become passé compared to screen addiction. Last year the National Literacy Trust found that only 35 per cent of children over the age of eight enjoy reading in their spare time, the lowest figure ever recorded, while more recent polling by YouGov has found that 40 per cent of Britons have not read or listened to a book in the past year. Lipa's podcast alone is never going to solve the calamitous demise of reading for pleasure. But even if a sliver of her listenership buy or borrow a book they otherwise wouldn't have, it's unquestionably a worthwhile project – for her, for those readers, and for all of us who love literature.
