Matt Zukowski ditches wedding ring and misses birthday of wife Tammy Hembrow's daughter to spend time with his podcast co-host who recently welcomed her first child - as couple all but confirm their split
Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski have long been rumoured to be on the rocks, but the Love Island Australia star has all but confirmed speculation after missing a milestone moment.
The couple have been fuelling split rumours for weeks with an array of cryptic Instagram posts and glaring absences pointing to trouble in paradise.
Matt, who co-hosts the Where's Your Head podcast alongside fellow reality star Anna McEvoy, posted a picture to his Instagram story on Monday holding her newborn baby.
'Meeting Suede Staples,' the 29-year-old captioned the post, accompanied with a blue heart.
In the snap, Matt wore a big smile and an all black ensemble as he held the little one, who Anna welcomed with Michael Staples earlier in June.

The couple have been fueling split rumours for weeks with an array of cryptic Instagram posts and glaring absences pointing to trouble in paradise
However, as Matt cuddled up to Anna's newborn bub, he was clearly not wearing his wedding ring, a traditional plain white gold band.
It comes as the podcaster was notably absent from Tammy's daughter Posy's birthday party, which she hosted over the weekend.
In a series of pictures and videos posted to Instagram, the fitness influencer, 31, also opted to ditch her wedding band and diamond engagement ring as she threw Posy's fairy-themed third birthday party without her husband.
One clip showed Tammy in a pink lacy tank top as she prepared adorable fruit skewers for her daughter's birthday bash with a bare ring finger.
Later, she shared a photo alongside her three kids - daughters Saskia, eight, and Posy, three, and son Wolf, ten - this time, wearing a pale green bodycon dress with no sign of the sparkler Matt gifted her when he popped the question last year, nor the band she paired it with when they wed.
The couple married in Byron Bay in November, and Tammy opted for a band of huge glittering diamonds.
An Australian jeweller has estimated that the wedding band would have set the star back a massive $23,000.
Meanwhile, her $46,000 engagement ring features an oval-cut diamond, estimated to be around two carats, which sits on a full diamond band.
Matt has refrained from sharing any recent posts or stories featuring Tammy, further fuelling speculation that the pair may have quietly parted ways.
Sources close to the couple previously told Daily Mail Australia the pair are 'on a break', with Matt relocating back to his native Melbourne while Tammy remains in Queensland with her three children.
Matt also ramped up rumours that his whirlwind romance with Tammy may be over after posting footage of himself going to the movies solo in recent months.
He took to Instagram to share a video from inside the cinema, revealing he was watching Death of a Unicorn alone - a move which came after fans noticed he was absent from Tammy's 31st birthday celebrations.

Hamish Blake's chilli eating contest ends in tears on Lego Masters Australia
A last minute food challenge ended in tears for Lego Masters host Hamish Blake during Monday's episode of the quirky game show. The 43-year-old funnyman persuaded Team China 's Dai and Jiayuan to a chilli eating contest. However, after just a few bites of the large spicy vegetable Hamish was left short of breath. He was barely able to choke out his comments while he watched Dai and Jiayun built their 'Chilli Girl' Lego model. Meanwhile, the Team China contestants were able to eat the chilli, without any adverse reaction at all, as Hamish drank milk to soothe his palette. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm not very good with spicy. At Nando's I always have Lemon and Herb,' Hamish choked, in reference to the famous peri-peri chicken brand. 'I have personally learned that you should not do a chilli eating contest against a woman from the Sichuan Province of China,' he confessed. It comes after Hamish cut a casual figure when he stepped out to attend the 2025 Logie Award nominations in Sydney on Monday. The fan favourite host embraced quiet luxury in an A.P.C. 'Edward' jersey sweater that retails for a whopping $650. The TV veteran completed his low-key winter look with khaki slacks and crisp white trainers, and a cheeky grin. And Hamish had a lot to smile about. The beloved comedian has once again been nominated for the coveted Gold Logie, after taking home the gong in 2012 for Hamish and Andy's Gap Year and in 2022 for Lego Masters. Lynne McGranger, 72, who played Irene Roberts on the soap opera Home and Away for over 33 years, also earned a Gold Logie nomination. Also nominated for the number one gong is A Current Affair's Ally Langdon, 46, who won Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year. Former ABC News Breakfast presenter Lisa Millar, 56, is also in the running for the top prize for her work on Backroads and Muster Dogs. MasterChef Australia's Poh Ling Yeow, 51, also scored a nomination, after speculation that she may be stepping back from the beloved cooking show. Julia Morris, 57, is set to battle it out for the Gold Logie too after hosting Network 10's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa alongside conservationist Robert Irwin. Completing the list of nominations is Dancing With The Stars' Sonia Kruger, 59, who is up for the number one gong again, after nabbing a Gold Logie back in 2023. Ray Martin, 80, who has made a name for himself on programs such as 60 Minutes, A Current Affair and Four Corners, also came out on tops in the Logie nominations on Monday. The five-time Gold Logie winner is set to join Graham Kennedy and Bert Newton with an award named in his honour, crowning Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter at the Aussie awards. The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards nominees were announced on Monday in the Yallamundi Rooms at the Sydney Opera House, highlighting the very best of TV talent in Australia. Voting will open for all awards from 9am on Monday June 16 and remain open until 7pm on Friday August 1. The ceremony will be available to watch on Seven and 7Plus.

Samantha Armytage is positively glowing after enjoying an international trip that spanned over a month. The Golden Bachelor host, who has been sharing various snippets from her time abroad on Instagram, touched down in Australia on Tuesday looking refreshed and radiant after enjoying a Euro summer in the UK and Morocco. Despite the 5am arrival time, Samantha was in good spirits as she made her way through Sydney Airport. The Channel Nine star didn't show any signs of jetlag and was seen smiling and laughing while making her way through the terminal. Samantha glowing makeup free as she pushed a luggage cart around outside of the airport.

Opting for comfort during her long-haul flight, Sam wore a pair of high-waisted blue-wash jeans that flared out at her ankles. She paired the trousers with a beige bomber jacket layered over a matching sweater. She finished the off-duty ensemble with a beige New Yankees cap. The former Sunrise host chose practical shoes for her travels, wearing Philippe Model Paris sneakers in an array of colours. During her time in London, Samantha sent fans wild after sharing pictures of her lookalike sister Georgina. She took to Instagram in May to post a series of photos showing the pair horse riding in Wimbledon Common, located in south-west London. The sisterly duo looked chuffed to be in each other's company for the quaint outing, with the pair beaming broadly as they posed on horseback. Samantha glowing makeup free as she pushed a luggage cart around outside of the airport Samantha and Georgina could be mistaken for twins in the images, with the pair looking almost identical in their near-matching riding helmets. It was a fact not lost on Samantha's 257,000 followers, with many pointing out the striking similarity. 'Twins? You look like twins!' one fan offered, while another chimed in with a similar: 'You and your sister look like twins.' 'I told you that both of you look alike,' a third offered, summing up the sentiment of many. Others were quick to point out just how happy Samantha looked to be in the company of her sister. 'What Fun To B Together Xx U Look Sooo Happy,' one fan swooned. Another offered: 'You look great up there! So good to see you so happy. You deserve it.' Captioning the images, Samantha revealed that she and Georgina had been indulging in their passion for horses since childhood. 'The Armytage sisters have come a long way since Adaminaby Pony Club in the 80's/early 90's. 17,000kms to be precise,' she wrote. 'Probably the first time Daryl Braithwaite has belted out across Wimbledon Common ~ but what fun to womble our way around this morning with Honey, Rosie, Fudge- the -Shetland & the gang. She continued: 'Pls note Georgie's "hands & heels"; a throw back to our PC days…& my Honey; at 17 hands ~ not bad for an old girl with a new hip - the both of us (no wonder I need the steps).' Samantha's UK jaunt comes after she announced her shock split with husband Richard Lavender late last year. Sam and Richard's separation was planned to be leaked to a Sydney newspaper in December, but sources confirmed the news to Daily Mail Australia in advance.

Guess who! Aussie heartthrob looks almost unrecognisable while enjoying a low-key lunch in Los Angeles
He's the Sydney-born drummer who helped launch one of Australia's most successful pop-rock acts into global superstardom. As one quarter of a chart-topping boy band, he became a household name during his early 20s and idolised for his hunky looks and magnetic stage presence. But over the weekend, the now-30-year-old cut a far more understated figure while enjoying a quiet lunch at a café in Los Angeles - looking almost unrecognisable from his stadium-filling days. The mystery rocker blended in effortlessly with the LA crowd, dressed in a black Led Zeppelin singlet that showed off his signature tattoos. He teamed the look with black trousers and black boots. So have you guessed who it is? That's right, it is Ashton Irwin - the longtime drummer of 5 Seconds of Summer. Adding a touch of old-school cool, Ashton accessorised his off-duty look with aviator sunglasses along with white wired headphones. His fluffy hair and five o'clock shadow was world's away from his heavily gelled quiff and clean-shaven look he was known for in the 2010s during the heights of his boy band fame. Seated outdoors under the California sun, Ashton looked relaxed and content as he sipped an iced drink. Though he may no longer dominate teen magazine covers, Ashton still had his trademark beaming smile. Ashton and his fellow 5SOS bandmates Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood burst onto the music scene as teenagers in 2012. The band has since released five studio albums and sold millions of records around the world. Their first three albums topped the US Billboard 200, making them the first Australian act to have three No. 1 albums in the United States. Ashton (far right) and his fellow 5SOS bandmates Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood burst onto the music scene as teenagers in 2012 In October 2020, Ashton released his first solo album Superblooom, which featured songs inspired by his childhood, depression, alcoholism and body dysmorphia. 'The overarching narrative is support system, healing, recovery, strength and focus on true self. I felt like I had a lot to write about,' he told Daily Mail Australia ahead of the album release. 'I had to reach a certain level of lyrical maturity in order to write about something I actually cared about. 'I think it's always important as an artist to have a mission statement. 'Like, 'Why do you make music? Why do you write the lyrics you write?''
