Molly-Mae Hague Reveals Flying Anxiety After Motherhood
The reality TV personality says her fear of flying has grown since having children, days after a private jet crash in Florida killed nine.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Family Travel
Molly-Mae Hague, 27, revealed in a YouTube vlog that she has developed raging anxiety about flying since becoming a mother, despite frequent private jet travel. Her comments came after a private jet bound for the Bahamas from Austin, Texas crashed in Florida, killing all nine people on board, including a 20-year-old co-pilot.
Why it matters
Hague's remarks highlight how parents may reassess travel risk once children arrive, even when they are accustomed to luxury travel. Her account also shows how a high-profile crash can intensify anxiety for travelers who already fly frequently.
Hague shares daughter Bambi, three, and son Midas, five months, with boxer Tommy Fury. The crash killed all nine people aboard the flight from Austin, Texas, bound for the Bahamas.

Travel Outlook
Heightened public attention to private aviation safety after high-profile crashes can prompt frequent flyers, particularly new parents, to reconsider air travel. Family travel planning increasingly weighs safety concerns alongside cost and convenience.
Parents who feel uneasy about flying can review airline safety records and choose itineraries that reduce connections and early-morning departures. Booking flexibility and travel insurance can also make it easier to adjust plans if anxiety becomes unmanageable.
The takeaway
Concern about flying often grows after parenthood, so planning ahead with safety information, flexible bookings and support can help families travel with more confidence.
