Influencer, 31, spotted with AFL star, 24, eight weeks after divorce
Tammy Hembrow has seemingly re-entered the dating scene, just two months after her seven-month marriage to Love Island Star Matt Zukowski ended. The influencer and fitness mogul, 31, was seen looking cosy with AFL player Bailey Smith, 24, after a lunch at the stylish Burleigh Pavilion restaurant, Rick Shores, on Saturday. Smith apparently flew up from Melbourne just to see Hembrow, a day after helping the Cats secure a victory over Essendon in Geelong. The cosy date The pair were caught laughing, smiling, and strolling arm-in-arm out of the glamorous venue, fully aware of the cameras capturing their chemistry. Eyewitnesses at the restaurant say Hembrow and Smith, who have a seven-year age gap, were anything but discreet and were seen making out for hours, the Herald Sun reports. Hembrow, who has built a $50 million empire with her activewear brand Saski and fitness app Tammy Fit, seemed unfazed by the paparazzi. She turned heads in a semi-sheer, white cropped tank top with a halter neck, worn without a bra. She paired it with baggy light blue jeans, heels, and a $5000 black Chanel Boy Bag. Her blonde hair was parted effortlessly in the middle, and she kept her jewellery minimal with just a few dainty gold pieces. Meanwhile, the AFL star, who's considered one of Australia's most eligible bachelors, kept it casual as well with an Adidas polo shirt, denim jeans, and his signature long hair tucked behind his ears. Hembrow's ex-husband responds It comes shortly after Hembrow's public break-up with Zukowski. The former reality star and podcaster, 29, told the Herald Sun he was caught off guard by how quickly things moved on. 'I heard about this and it's not a nice feeling,' he told the publication. 'We only broke up eight weeks ago. I just don't understand how someone can move on so quickly. It's been 48 days, and I'm still trying to work out how I feel as a person after committing in marriage to someone. I'm trying to focus on myself and heal.' He was seen today having a coffee on his own after the news broke. Zukowski, who married Hembrow in November 2024 during a lavish Byron Bay wedding featured in Vogue, previously opened up about the pain of his divorce on his podcast, ' Where's Your Head At?' 'There is no easy way to say this, I'm absolutely shattered to announce it, to be honest. But at the end of the day, we weren't right for each other, and in this relationship … I've learnt a lot about myself and what I need in a relationship,' he said. Following the weekend photos of his ex and Smith, he posted some cryptic life lessons on TikTok, like 'it shall pass' and 'focus on what you can control'. Hembrow's pre-date post With 17 million followers on social media, Hembrow has yet to comment publicly about her date but shared an outfit check on TikTok beforehand. She captioned the clip 'Happy weekend' and lip-synched to the lyrics, 'Last time calling me baby, last time calling me crazy'. 'I bet it was,' one commenter wrote cheekily on the post. In another outfit video since, one person shamed her for dating again so soon after her divorce. 'You can't be alone, can you gf?' they asked. 'He is like seven years younger,' quipped another. However, other fans defended her, with one saying, 'Can't a girl just have fun?' and another calling them 'the finest couple'. It follows Hembrow's emotional Instagram post about her divorce, where she said, 'Did I think this was going to happen? No. Did I want this? No. Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever,' she said. 'I blame no one but myself.' She also mentioned she plans to be more cautious when choosing partners in future. The mum of three – Wolf, eight, Saskia, six, with her ex-fiance Reece Hawkins, and Posy, three, with ex-fiance Matt Poole – recently sparked fan speculation about a reunion with Hawkins after posting a TikTok with him and their kids. 'Whole gang's here,' she captioned the teaser, but quickly clarified, 'We're just friends,' after the internet blew up. Smith's blunt response As for Smith, the Geelong midfielder is also recently single, having quietly split from his previous partner Gemma Dawkins last year. When approached by a Daily Mail reporter when he returned to Melbourne on Sunday, after his date with Hembrow, Smith corrected them on how to pronounce her name. 'It's Hem- bro, not Hem- brow. F*****g hell, do your research,' he said. Asked if they are officially an item, he replied: 'What do you want me to say, mate? You're a grown man c***. That's actually f***ed up.'. The Tinder deal With the most Instagram followers of any AFL player, Smith recently signed on as the face of Tinder's new Double Date campaign. He featured on Tinder's TikTok, sharing that he's been 'trying out' the new feature, aimed at Gen Z, for a few weeks. 'I'm giving it a go with my best mate, so match with us and we'll see you in the group chat,' he said last month. Kristen Hardeman, Tinder Australia's Country Director, said about the collaboration, 'We know there are plenty of young, single Aussies that will be hoping to come across his profile on Tinder!' It's unclear whether Smith and Hembrow met on Tinder, but reports state she said last week she wasn't on any dating apps.

Brisbane coach Chris Fagan ‘absolutely filthy' with Netflix filmmakers during documentary production
AFL staff have had to step in and watch over Netflix filmmakers after they 'ruffled feathers' at Brisbane during production for the upcoming documentary. Netflix are currently going behinds the scenes with several AFL clubs to make a docuseries not dissimilar to the famous Drive To Survive franchise that has been a raging success for seven seasons and changed the sport of Formula One forever. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Brisbane annoyed with Netflix documentary makers. But it appears there was one fairly important person who was left off the email chain before filmmakers turned up to follow Brisbane, with Lions coach Chris Fagan 'absolutely filthy' at how it played out. 'AFL staff themselves have now gone on the road with this production crew because they have ruffled feathers,' Caroline Wilson told The Agenda Setters on Monday night. 'But the really strong scenes took place at the Gabba. They (Netflix) turned up the week of the Q-Clash, Chris Fagan was absolutely filthy, said he had no idea that they were coming on board, and had he known, he wouldn't have agreed to it. 'I think he agreed after a conversation with (footy boss) Danny Daly. Perhaps he hadn't really been paying attention, but I don't think he was thrilled. 'But they've left the Gabba now, they won't be back. 'They're at the Gold Coast — I think there was some dissatisfaction too at the Gold Coast, at how many players they wanted to get involved. Certainly Touk Miller's involved there. 'And interestingly, the Melbourne Football Club have become involved in recent days since the sacking of Simon Goodwin.' Since the success of Drive To Survive, Netflix and other streaming giants have explored similar ventures with several different sports. Netflix's Full Swing, which is golf's version of Drive To Survive, has been a major success over its three seasons. Break Point, which was a similar show for tennis, was not received quite as well, and only lasted one series. The Test has been a huge success for cricket on Amazon Prime, who did an AFL series of their own after the 2020 season. Others include Tour de France: Unchained (cycling) and Quarterback (American football), which are both on Netflix.
