They've broken up 💔

I used to live in Altrincham. During COVID though so no going out.Also Molly Mae lives in Hale according to Wikipedia but it doesn't matter. Hale, Altrincham , Wilmslow and Knutsford are close enough for me to have been out in all 4 of them when working in one of them.

I didn't think it was them at that time because I thought they lived in London. Obviously I was at a distance and all my colleagues were older men, who wouldn't know anything about Love Island. So I could hardly have asked them. In fact they'd have thought me frivolous.

R.e. WAGS well Molly Mae's industry - lifestyle influencing is very London based. Obviously there's some in Cheshire - think the Real Housewives of Cheshire, and well the WAGS. Wives and girlfriends of footballers. Like Lystra Adams who was also on the aforementioned show. Similar in Ormskirk.

Compared to a poor ex-mining town where there'd be nothing of this sort Cheshire is understandable. However, all those women gained success through their husbands, Molly as popular as she is , has only herself to rely on especially now post breakup.

As much as I love both Manchester and Cheshire I can't deny that London has more opportunity for this sort of thing. It might not have been apparent as COVID happened shortly after her Love Island success so the deals were still rolling in. So location wasn't as important, then she had a baby.

Shell probably end up in London now.

This is a fucking insane post, no offence. It’s not compulsory to live in London if you want to be an influencer. In fact the majority of the beige fiat 500 influencers DON’T live in London. Neither of them are from London.

(I live in London 😂. I’m not an influencer though).

Because it's a free country.

He allegedly got another woman pregnant.

And the other woman has sold her story to a newspaper, which is coming out

Ewwwwwwwwwwww. 😖

Yet she clearly is likeable when she has MILLIONS of followers? I understand that you personally don’t like her, that’s fine, but to say she is in likeable is simply not true.
for what it’s worth, I think she’s beautiful and adore how natural she looks now she’s ditched her fillers. In a world full of unrealistic expectations of how women should look, Molly Mae is refreshing. She may not be everyone’s cup of tea but she’s successful because she is attractive and people like her. Fair play to her!

Fine if you like her pictures or whatever but she photoshops herself beyond recognition on top of the surgery and augmentations. She looks entirely different in real life and completely fabricates loads about her lifestyle and relationships for her audience. She really isn’t any kind of refreshment re unrealistic expectations.

Never understood people's obsession with this woman. She's not particularly beautiful, talented, charismatic or likeable, yet has amassed considerable fame and fortune. Bizarre, really.

I can understand it.

The answer is: she's middle class with a posh accent.

People see her as "resepctable" compared to some of the "rougher" girls that go on love island.

People are always snobs at heart

This is bizarre. I take it you're a love island fan then? Who are the working class contestants who didn't get the praise they deserved because they weren't posh enough?

It's mostly teenage girls that watch this show, I really doubt that her 8 million followers all like her because they're snobs

@berksandbeyond WTF are you being so rude towards me you dont know me it was a Genuine Question no need for you too gob off

Google is free mate. You know FULL well you weren’t asking innocently. You’re Judy trying to make yourself look intellectual

VictoryCity · 14/08/2024 21:16

I think it's a shame because of the child. Who they both appear to adore. MM's parents are also divorced and appear to be able to come-parent amicably so one hopes in time, they will too.

Perhaps a case of just too young? Maybe if they'd met 10 years later things would be different.

She's rude - and dim as well. She once said 'everyone has the same 24 hours!' as if to say 'everyone has the same chance of making it big if you work HARD enough.' Yeah it's OK if you come from an over-privileged well off middle class family like YOU Molly Mae, who had handouts and support from family! 🙄

She was (quite rightly) lambasted for saying this.

Fair enough but her parents are both coppers and she's from a fairly normal town. Hardly Made in Chelsea material.

there are no working class contestants on love island, they are all rich af which is how they afford all the plastic surgery, life in the gym and not working, building up their IG before they go in etc.

you see all their houses on the spin off show and they're all absolutely massive.

the only difference is that some are northern, some are tradies etc to give the illusion of different classes. the tradies still have degrees and rich families. some are rich and smart, some are rich dani dyer style

HappyMe6 · 14/08/2024 21:27

OvertheAtlantic yes agreed their babies name isn’t any better Bambi.but each to their own I suppose.

MelIy · 14/08/2024 21:29

@notanotheronenow so everyone on LI is wealthy... so being middle class has nothing to do with her popularity...

There definitely are "working class" people on love island.

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 21:35

Molly mae was popular for the same reasons that taylor swift is popular with millions.

Molly Mae is a respectable girl from a nice background. With two respectable parents.

Very middle class . Very posh accent.

She I'd also Dare I say it, white and British.

For example I remember another rich girl on that love island series, who didn't become as popular as Molly may because the other girls parents were Iranian. And the girl was of middle Eastern descent.

Molly maes popularity also increased due to her dating a sportsman, tommy

FionnulaTheCooler · 14/08/2024 16:33

Colour me shocked that a relationship that started on Love Island hasn't lasted.

Oh give over. They were together for a long time, She loved him, they have a child. Not any different to any other couple splitting on Mumsnet or anywhere else. She, at least, made a bloody good go of it.

Actually, I watched that season… only one I did and I think people liked her because she was very open and wore her heart on her sleeve. I think she’s lovely.

Because black, Asian and other working class celebrities and musicians don't exist. Anna (?) didn't have the same appeal, she was entertaining because she was loud and shouty, but she didn't have a lasting presence.

90% of contestants face out eventually.

Ovie (black and male) has always been popular. He was nice, handsome and uncontroversial. So was Amber (mixed race), because he personality developed over the show.

MelIy · 14/08/2024 21:54

And Luke T (who's Caribbean) and Sianese were popular. Not everything has to be some kind of virtue signalling. It could just be that people actually like Molly Mae (gasp)

Ovie didn't become half as famous as Molly mae. Amber didn't become half as popular as Molly mae either

Molly mae definitely fits into the stereotype of what appeals to the British masses,

white blonde, middle class, posh accent . Tick.
Fashion and hair influencer. Tick.
Is dating a man who plays sport. Tick

Why get defensive about race?

I'm white. And I can see that Molly mae being white, blonde, middle class, all added to her appeal

HiFillyJonk · 14/08/2024 21:58

I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. He's as thick as mince and would bore anyone with more than two braincells to tears. I guess the lust finally died down and they realised how different they were.

My issue with her 24hrs claims is that she seemed to have no concept that being on a reality show was what gave her the start of amazing career she has.

She clearly works hard with a great team and takes advantage of opportunities but she doesn't seem to acknowledge that without love island she’d be like anybody else.

MelIy · 14/08/2024 22:00

Abbie, you're the only one being weird and bringing race into this. No response to the other cast members who are popular. Shocking- none are as popular as the girl who was engaged to Tyson Fury's brother and is on top of a huge fast fashion chain, PLT. It's a real head-scratcher.

Best ignored from now on.
