Zoe Rae, sister of influencer Molly-Mae Hague, radiates joy during a luxurious girls’ holiday in Portugal. The 29-year-old displays her toned physique in a white bikini topped with a sheer knitted off-shoulder layer, paired with white shorts, a pearl handbag, and red sunglasses at a beach bar.
Lavish Beach Vibes and Boozy Fun
Styling her brunette hair loosely, Zoe poses confidently under the sun, captioning a photo ‘Balance.’ She shares a clip of a lively lunch with friends, sipping rosé before dancing with fellow vacationers.
Far from Family Plans at 30
This getaway follows Zoe’s candid TikTok video where she and husband Danny Rae, recently 30, reveal they feel distant from parenthood. Filmed in her car, Zoe expresses surprise: ‘I am going to be 30 in a few weeks time, Danny has just turned 30. Neither of us are in the position where we’re even remotely thinking of having children.’
She recalls a past YouTube video at age 25 predicting kids by 30: ‘Now we’re 30 and we still couldn’t be further away from that. If anything I think we’re probably even further away from wanting children than when we were 25.’ Zoe acknowledges 30 remains young, with many delaying families into their late 30s or 40s, yet questions the desire as they age.
She notes the rarity of open discussions: ‘You don’t see many people in happy relationships, happy marriages who are like, “we don’t actually know if we want children.” No one that I know that’s married, doesn’t want children.’ Danny joins at the end.
Molly-Mae comments: ‘Lets be honest… Bambi made you have this realisation.’
Molly-Mae’s Parenting Realities
Molly-Mae, who shares toddler Bambi with Tommy Fury and expects her second child, often shares motherhood’s ups and downs. Bambi’s challenging behavior recently leaves her in tears, as she describes an ’emotional rollercoaster.’
In a December vlog with mother Debbie, Molly-Mae says: ‘My mum’s getting picked up shortly – she’s been staying with us for the week to help out with the small child.’ Debbie replies: ‘Now I need to go home and decompress. She’s been lovely…she’s been interesting. She’s been really challenging. She’s trying to assert her dominance as a not even three-year-old. She thinks she rules the roost.’ Molly-Mae agrees: ‘Because she does.’
Reflecting further, Molly-Mae admits recent weekends humble her: ‘I felt like I’d massively turned a big corner with her… and then the last two weekends have just completely humbled me and knocked me to the floor. She’s literally had me in tears.’
In November, she posts a tender photo cuddling Bambi, captioning: ‘Toddler: 1, Mummy: 0. Parenthood summed up… an hour before this pic I was in tears a full weekend of basically one constant tantrum…. And then one cute moment makes you forget it all.’
Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Molly-Mae ponders starting young at 23: ‘I’ve never had any regrets about starting a family young, but if I could go back and maybe go again, would I have waited a few more years? Potentially.’ She craves downtime for mental health and feels pressure for Bambi to have a sibling, inspired by her bond with Zoe, but insists on personal desire.
Molly-Mae prefers toddlerhood over newborns for better communication and laughs, praising Bambi’s determination: ‘She sometimes loves to push the buttons… it shows she is strong and knows her mind.’
