Adorable pictures of young Molly-Mae and her first boyfriend, long before Tommy Fury

They were together for three years as teenagers


Molly-Mae’s new documentary is finally here and she speaks a lot about her life as a teenager, when her influencing career began.

She grew up in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and worked as a lifeguard before getting a job on the perfume counter at Boots.

While in high school, she was dating a guy called Rory Shooter and they were together for around three years.

The pair met when she was just 13 and pictures from his old X account show the loved-up couple through their teenage years.

In one old post, Rory revealed he pretended to be gay just to start talking to Molly.

“One year ago today when I first met this one. Pretended I was gay so I could stay round with the girls for her bday,” he wrote.

They always gushed about each other on social media, with Molly saying: “So lucky to be in a relationship that’s nothing but good times & happiness.”

“I love you so much and miss you can’t wait to see you V soon xxx,” another post from Rory says.

The childhood sweethearts split when Molly was around 16 or 17, which would’ve been in 2015 or 2016.

She had just started posting on Instagram at the time and secured her first brand deal when she was just 16, getting paid £25 for the post.

After that, Molly didn’t publicly date anyone else until she met Tommy Fury on Love Island in 2019.

However, in one of her old vlogs, Tommy thought he saw her ex-boyfriend in the gym while on holiday. It’s not clear whether he was talking about Rory.
