The influencer addressed criticism levelled at Tommy by some fans who accused him of being an absent dad.

In hurtful comments, they claimed that Molly's sister Zoe, 28, is more of a father figure due to her regular appearance in the videos.
Ex Love Island star Molly, 26, explained: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week.
"But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family.
"I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to."
Molly and Tommy only recently confirmed they were an item again after splitting last August.
Their relationship story featured in Molly's recent Amazon documentary where she talked about their New Year's Eve kiss, which began feverish speculation that they were back together.
They are now working hard to put past cheating allegations and Tommy's alcohol-fuelled partying problems behind them.
A source told us: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them.
'Tommy has been very dedicated so far — if he's on a train, he will FaceTime the moment he gets off.
'It's the same with any flights that he takes or hotels he's staying in.
Molly-Mae sobs as she admits Bambi's 'terrible twos' are breaking her & says 'I don't care who tells me I'm out of touch with reality'
'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere.
'And then she likes him to also show her where he is.
'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.'
Elsewhere in Molly's latest vlog, she broke down in tears after facing a backlash for complaining about having no fun, despite going on a string of luxury holidays to Dubai, Disneyland Paris and Budapest.
She also moaned about a £86,000 motorhome holiday with Tommy to the Isle of Man.
As she sat in her car with Bambi in the back, Molly-Mae 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.'
However, things seemed to get too much for the mother-of-one and she soon sobbed.
The millionaire, who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, desperately hid her eyes with a pair of sunglasses and shook her head as she added: 'I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed.'
The content creator who boasts 1.9million subscribers on YouTube and has a jaw-dropping £6million fortune, also opened up on feeling "suffocated," as she explained: "The morning was not good.

"I think the reason I had a meltdown was because I was trying to hold it in.
"It seems like a lot of onions flying around. I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore.
"In the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot.
'We're debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it.
"I can't hide anything, if I'm feeling down about something, you're gonna know about it."
Molly-Mae's glow-down from 'glamour model' to 'yummy mummy'
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: 'I believe Molly-Mae Hague 's new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
'It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.'
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: 'Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
'She's becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.'
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae's chic new look could be 'highly lucrative' for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: 'Molly-Mae Hague's transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
'This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
'It's possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
'Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
'By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
'Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.'
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: 'She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.'
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae's transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: 'Molly-Mae's transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
'The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
'By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
'This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.'
Nick agreed and claimed: 'Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she's also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that's not flashy but totally on trend.
'Gone are the 'look at me' posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.'

Hollywood star issues sweet message as Welsh festival begins
Hollywood star issues sweet message as Welsh festival begins It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor Rob McElhenney was seen in a short clip practising his Welsh words and phrases Well-known Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney has welcomed the National Eisteddfod 2025 - all in Welsh. The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor, who is also the co-owner of Wrexham AFC alongside fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, was seen in a short clip practising his Welsh words and phrases as the cultural festival kickstarts this weekend. The American actor was aided by Maxine Hughes, a Welsh journalist from Conwy who now lives in Washington D.C. The journalist has been helping both McElhenney and Reynolds with learning Welsh since they took over the north Wales club in 2020. At the start of the short clip, Maxine begins: "Ok, let's do: 'Croeso i'r Eisteddfod yn Wrecsam', which I know you can do this because we've done the 'croeso' many times before". Rob then repeats 'Croeso i'r Eisteddfod yn Wrecsam' in near perfect Welsh, but as Maxine points out the 'y' in the word 'yn', which means 'in' in Welsh, has a distinctive sound. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . After a few attempts, Rob is able to pronounce the phrase as if he was from Wales. "You actually sounded like a proper Welsh person there because you called it 'Steddfod, which is what we call it. That was excellent." The two then go over 'Mae'r Eisteddfod yn dod i Wrecsam', which means that the 'Eisteddfod is coming to Wrexham'. By his second attempt, the comedian and actor has perfect pronunciation of the phrase and seemingly knows it as his smile beams. The sweet clip comes as the National Eisteddfod begins in the Welsh city on Saturday, August 2. The week-long cultural festival will take place at Is-y-Coed in Wrexham, the first time it has been held in the city since 2011. Journalist Maxine Hughes has helped the two actors - Ryan Reynolds (left) and Rob McElhenney (right) with learning Welsh over the years (Image: FX Networks/Youtube) In recent weeks, the farmland has been transformed into a small town with the 1,500 seat pavilion, an array of performance spaces and stalls and the Gorsedd circle. The National Eisteddfod is the largest cultural festival in Europe, held in a different part of Wales every year and aims to "promote, preserve and protect the heritage and culture of Wales". Article continues below And after successfully helping out Rob McElhenney with his Welsh phrases, Maxine Hughes will be heading back to her homeland for the special festival. She will address the audience as the leader of Wales and the World during the special event of Cymanfa Ganu (Singing Assembly) at the Eisteddfod on Sunday night, August 3. She will also take part in leading other sessions on the Maes (festival ground) during the week.

The Dance With Me Tonight singer got festival-goers on their feet within minutes of taking to the stage with a string of hits. 15 15 15 15 15 Last Friday, former X Factor star Olly, 41 headlined at the stunning grounds of Bolesworth Castle, performing his chart-topping singles.

There was a whole dedicated section to keep the kids busy, with a full fun fair, rides, a silent disco and even a Bluey, Peppa Pig and Bing meet and greet. The little ones were also able to enjoy some downtime in front of the a big screen playing children's films throughout the day. If you fancy taking some time out, many headed to the Retreat zone which ran from the morning to mid afternoon, offering Thai massage workshops, south baths and yoga which will leave you feeling zen. The weather did pick up and those who wanted to get an dose of Ibiza headed to O beach, a premium pop up space with everything synonymous with O Beach including iconic round pool beds. There was even hot tubs and a dance floor with dancers putting on a immersive shows throughout the day. The quality of food vendors at the festival made the experience even better knowing we could grab some delicious food and drink without having to leave the venue. We tucked into some piping hot jacket potatoes, freshly made pizzas, and mac and cheese with loaded fries and chicken.

Party-goers who wanted to get up on stage themselves headed to the Wonky Lizard for a bit of Barrioke, while you could rave from morning to night with electric dance music in the Agora tent. And those who wanted to throw things back to the 90s, boogied on down to the Rewind stage, where So Solid Crew, Ultrabeat, Sonique, East 17, Phats and Small and Soul Town performed some bangers. But my favourite had to be the Ranch stage. If you're a Taylor Swift fan and love your country music, this is the perfect little spot where you can don your cowboy boots and straw hat while chilling out on haystacks and sipping on a cold beverage. Singers Emilia Quinn, Fanny Lumsden and Shellyann were exceptional as they belted out smooth tunes and well known tracks. While the Whiskey Brothers performed some incredible covers and finished with an impressive medley - even dropping hits from Eminem and 50 cent into their round-up.

Tilda Swinton looks chic in smart high-slung trousers as they join Alfie Cain at Hibernian's Easter Road stadium for powerful Edinburgh Fringe play on mental health in football
Tilda Swinton attended a performance of Dropped at Hibernian FC's Easter Road stadium on Saturday night as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Oscar-winning actress, 64, arrived with five guests and sat front row at the Behind the Goals venue in the North Stand, where the one-man show is being staged throughout the week. Written and performed by former Chelsea academy player Alfie Cain, Dropped explores the mental health impact on young footballers who fail to secure professional contracts. Only 1% of academy players go pro, while thousands are released each year with limited support. Known for their roles in Michael Clayton and The Chronicles of Narnia, Tilda appeared fully engaged during the emotional 60-minute performance, which left some fans in tears. An insider at the venue said they 'appeared relaxed and engaged' throughout the performance. Tilda showed off their quirky sense of style for the outing, opting for a pair of cropped brown trousers, which they paired with a Charles Jeffrey Loverboy patchwork detail shirt, which retails for over £600. Their trademark blonde pixie cut was swept back and the look was finished with some black sandals. It is the first time a professional football club has hosted a play as part of the Fringe. Alfie said: 'At this time of year around 4,000 trainees will be dropped across the UK. Many of them have spent nine years or more working towards one goal, only to be told in a brief conversation that their dream is over.' The play also highlights serious issues within the academy system, including cases of abuse and the long-term impact on mental health. It references the 2020 death of 18-year-old Manchester City trainee Jeremy Wisten, who took his own life after being released. A spokesperson for the club said: 'Hosting Dropped is a statement of our commitment to player welfare beyond the pitch. We aim to prepare our young athletes for life, not just football.' Alfie added that performing the show at Easter Road was 'a dream come true,' saying: 'When I was a kid, I dreamed of playing at Easter Road. Now, I get to perform there instead.' Dropped runs from 2–9 August at Hibernian FC's Easter Road Stadium. Tickets available via It comes after the young cousin of Tilda Swinton made a return to the small screen last month in the third season of the US drama And Just Like That - the spin-off of Sex in the City. Alexa Swinton bagged the role as the daughter of Charlotte York, played by Kristin Davis, and joined the HBO Max show And Just Like That... as a 12-year-old in 2021. New York-born Alexa has Canadian, Scottish and Russian-Jewish heritage and is a distant cousin of Scots actress Tilda. In the original Sex and the City series, Charlotte York had two daughters, Lily and Rose, with Alexa cast as the latter when the spin-off first hit the screens four years ago. In the latest instalment, her role has evolved into playing the part of a non-binary teen, Rock. On Friday The Daily Mail reported that And Just Like end after three seasons, following years of fan backlash. The show - which saw Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis reprise their SATC roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York - will wrap up the two part finale, showrunner Michael Patrick King confirmed. Sex and The City enthusiasts had long
