She became the subject of unfounded speculation Tommy fathered her child after he was dramatically dumped by Molly-Mae Hague and The Sun today revealed Tommy had cheated.
Breaking her silence on the matter, Lissie, who is in a happy relationship, commented beneath a recent TikTok video she’d shared of her bump, writing: “Tommy Fury is not my baby’s dad.”
Lissie also posted a separate photo on her Instagram stories while holding her baby, born three days ago, with a man lying beside her.
She wrote: “Happy family,” beside the photo while cuddling her newborn baby in bed.
Influencer Lissie’s dad Ryan, who is a boxing pal of Tommy’s dad John Fury, also slammed the cruel internet rumours.
He appeared in a video on his Instagram stories, and said: “I can’t believe what I’m reading. I can’t believe it. The speculation, the hearsay, guys Lissie and Barry and Shakur are so happy, so happy.
“We’ve got a life, you need to get one.”
After Molly’s statement was posted yesterday, initial reactions from their fans indicate that most believe Tommy was “at fault.”

Molly, 25, sent shockwaves through social media when she announced they’d split after five years together.
She ended her engagement with Tommy weeks after her sister got married.
And fans have picked apart her full statement Molly in which she said the breakdown of their relationship was “extremely upsetting”.
Molly, who gushed about their engagement just three weeks ago, also admitted the split came as a shock and she hadn’t expected it to end, “especially not this way.”
Writing on X after reading news of their split, one said: “Seriously wishing Molly Mae and her daughter all the best, and yess Tommy is 100% to blame I bet. Team Molly all day.”
A second said: “Molly Mae and Tommy Fury broke up omg… I know that man did something.”
‘Molly and Tommy appeared to be picture perfect, their break-up was completely unexpected’

GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months, the pair had faced rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women – all while Molly-Mae was at home holding their baby.
Her statement smacks of something that has yet to come to light.
Although she’s written it with a clever PR eye watching over it, Molly’s devastation spills out in every word.
As I type, my WhatsApp groups are flashing up with texts about how this seemingly rock solid couple have crumbled into nothing.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed – after he pulled an elaborate stunt which ended up with him getting down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, complete with Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and, later, the arrival of their daughter Bambi, appeared to outsiders to be picture perfect.
Molly has built her brand around her wholesome family life with Tommy.
Cosy photographs are carefully curated for her Instagram grid, with her 7.9million followers poring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I, along with a number of my friends, follow on social media for her girl next door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but there is something shocking about the ending of what, on the surface, appeared to be such a happy relationship.
Earlier this year, at Soccer Aid, Tommy was cagey when asked about their upcoming wedding plans by one of my colleagues.
It wasn’t altogether too strange, as most blokes aren’t overly keen to chat about their missus when they’re with their mates playing football.
But it was a definite gear change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, as he was always so gushing about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a number of Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths, will now be combing the internet and social media for clues.
And given the number of calls coming into our desk, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae ended things with Tommy will come to light in the next few hours.
As a genuine fan and follower, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Break ups suck at the best of times. But when you’re in the public eye, and you choose to announce your split so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – they are a hell of a lot harder.
One more echoed: “What did Tommy do? I know Molly would go to war for that man!?”
Another fan said: “Molly Mae and Tommy are over??? I’m just going to blame Tommy right now. i can’ttttttttt.”
The YouTube star’s statement read: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this,” Molly-Mae said, just five weeks after celebrating half a decade together.
“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.
“Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”
Molly-Mae added: “I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.
“You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all.
“Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks, please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time.
“I’ll be back when it feels right.
“Molly-Mae x”
Tommy has now released his own statement on the split, posted to his social media.
He wrote: “I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.
“The past 5 years have led us to having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will forever be thankful to Molly for making me a dad.
“Bambi is our priority.”
He continued: “Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time.”
