Love Island star Molly-Mae, 25, kicked pro boxer Tommy out of the £4million Cheshire mansion they shared after she confronted him about his infidelities.
Friends close to Molly-Mae – who was seen for the first time today – told The Sun she was now expecting women to come forward about Tommy’s cheating on her during their five-year relationship.
A source said: “Molly-Mae is now aware Tommy was unfaithful to her.
“She believes it has happened a number of times.
“It seems he would play away when he knew people wouldn’t recognise him.
“Molly-Mae is absolutely heartbroken and says she fully expects that other women are going to come forward and speak to her about him being unfaithful.
“Molly-Mae has been completely crushed by this. She thought she could trust Tommy completely.
“The love they once had has been shattered.”
Molly-Mae stunned her fans yesterday after posting a statement confirming she had ended her relationship with Tommy, 25, who is the father of her daughter Bambi.
She said: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this.
“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.
“I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter.”
Tommy posted his own statement afterwards and attempted to make their break up look mutual, writing: “I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.”
Since then rumours have circulated on social media alleging Tommy had fathered a child by another woman.
Friends said that while the rumours were upsetting, Molly-Mae was not aware of this.
Molly-Mae’s pals, including Luke Shaw’s girlfriend Anouska Santos, have rallied around her, while Tommy has now left the home they shared.
Those who know Molly well have told The Sun that their relationship had come under strain recently, with Tommy increasingly partying with pals.
A friend added: “Molly-Mae lives a quiet life and was the happiest at home with Tommy and their daughter.
