Tammy Hembrow breaks silence over Bailey Smith dating rumours
In typical influencer style, the 31-year-old shared a lip-synching TikTok with a subtle message to the haters, who have criticised the mum-of-three for moving on 'so quickly'.
The Saski activewear founder was spotted enjoying a lunch date with Smith at a Gold Coast restaurant on Saturday, two months after she announced her divorce from Love Island 's Matt Zukowski.
In the clip, which was posted yesterday and already has over 700k views, Hembrow mouthed the words from a Barbie movie clip that says: 'Don't be f***ing boring. This whole town is so f***ing boring. I don't care,' and rolls her eyes.
The message was clear – that Hembrow is just living her best newly-single life and doesn't care about critics who have said she has a 'revolving door' of men, 'can't be alone', and 'needs to have a break' from dating.
A lot of criticism was also aimed at the fact that her three kids are 'introduced to a new man every month'.
But Hembrow has now made a bold statement by basically saying that she's going to do whatever she feels is right for her and people need to lighten up.
It also hints that she might just be having fun with Smith, and it might not be headed towards a serious relationship.
What's more of a statement, however, is the fact that she was wearing a vintage Adidas jacket that belongs to Smith, suggesting he gave it to her to have while he jetted back to Melbourne and the two are apart.
In paparazzi pics from their date, Smith is even seen holding the jacket – and in one of his old Instagram posts, he's wearing it too.
Her loyal followers were loving the cheeky move, with one saying: 'The one thing about Tammy is she'll have a sound ready for any situation she's having in life'.
'I'm obsessed with you,' said another. 'Fire content'.
'God forbid a girl moves on quick,' a third commented.
'Honestly, good for you,' a fourth added. 'This is a great response,' another remarked.
Others picked up on the subtle clothing choice.
'Nice jacket,' said one. 'Where's your jacket from?' someone else inquired.
As a new photo emerged yesterday of Smith and Hembrow kissing at a table in a restaurant corner, it was clear they weren't trying to be discreet about their date, as onlookers told The Herald Sun they were making out for 'hours'.
Zukowski reportedly is devastated by the news, telling the outlet he's shocked and upset that Hembrow moved on so fast.
'I heard about this and it's not a nice feeling,' he said.
'We only broke up eight weeks ago. I just don't understand how someone can move on so quickly. It's been 48 days. I'm trying to focus on myself and heal.'
Meanwhile, Smith's ex has spoken out, saying she was 'put through the wringer 100 times over' in a past relationship, just days after the photos of Hembrow and Smith surfaced.
Melbourne content creator Izzy Armitage dated the Geelong player in 2021 for a few months and recently said on her Hear Me Out podcast that a high-profile ex – who she doesn't name – allegedly cheated on her, with one woman even sending her pictures of the supposed incident.
While Armitage has avoided naming her ex explicitly, fans are speculating she may be talking about Smith.

‘Never shared this before': Star posts shock video crying and shaking
Tammy Hembrow has shared a deeply personal video montage revealing the emotional turmoil she experienced during her marriage to Matt Zukowski – further fuelling speculation about the real story behind their recent split. The 31-year-old fitness mogul, who has been at the centre of a fresh media storm after her high-profile date with AFL star Bailey Smith, took to Instagram on Saturday morning with a vulnerable post. The clip shows Hembrow crying, shaking and breaking down, with her wedding rings clearly visible in many of the clips, confirming these were filmed while she was still in her marriage. The clip opens with text that says: 'It felt like the heaviness would never end,' and shows the mum-of-three trembling mid-breakdown, even crying uncontrollably while brushing her hair. The montage then takes an uplifting turn, with the final clips showing Hembrow smiling and laughing with her friends and family, on holidays, and by the beach. 'But then I noticed the light creeping back in,' the text on screen says. The emotional clip was set to The Cinematic Orchestra's 'To Build A Home'. She paired the video, which amassed 2.5 million views in three hours, with a long message to her followers. 'I made this so long ago and honestly never thought I'd share it. Watching it back makes me genuinely feel ill. But with everything happening right now, if there was ever a time to share it … it's now,' the Saski activewear founder said. 'I'm posting this for the person who feels like they're drowning the way I once did. The person who can't see a way forward. I want you to know, it does get better. I PROMISE you. 'Some traumas shake you so deeply, they change the way you see literally everything. The world, the people around you … and even yourself. But little by little, the light comes back. 'No one else knows your whole story. No one has felt what you've felt, seen what you've seen, or carried what you've carried. This is your life, your journey … but you are not alone in it. 'One day you'll look back and realise you survived what you thought would break you.' The post was instantly flooded with messages of support. 'You've come a long way,' one of her friends, Olivia Phillips, said. Then her sister, Amy, wrote, 'My heart was breaking for you during this time'. Hembrow later took to her Stories to shed some light on why she posted the clip. 'It feels so weird posting that video,' she said. 'But when I was going through that, seeing videos like that helped me so much, so if I can do that for one person, that's all I want.' She then hit back at some commenters who questioned why she filmed videos of herself crying. 'I don't usually film myself crying mid-breakdown, most of those videos I was talking in them and sending to my sister,' she explained. Hembrow's candid post came just days after she was spotted with Bailey Smith at a lunch date in the Gold Coast, with their not-so-discreet outing taking social media by storm. The high-profile date, which was two months after her divorce from Zukowski, led to a range of backlash online, from people who shamed her for moving on 'so quickly'. A community football coach was even sacked yesterday after making a crude social media remark about the situation. The Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club confirmed on Friday that coach John Baggetta had been terminated after he posted an offensive slur to Facebook, where he referred to Hembrow as a 'c** bucket'. The full comment read: 'He's trying to keep his relevance and she's a c** bucket'. Meanwhile, Zukowski, who was married to Hembrow for seven months, released a podcast episode yesterday, speaking about their divorce and saying it 'sucked' seeing his ex move on with someone else. He even claimed that he was the one to end the relationship, saying 'I made one of the hardest decisions of my life. I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me. It was unhealthy for me. And I made the decision for my mental health to leave'. Now, Hembrow's video seems to have gone live in direct response to Zukowski's bold claims, where he presented himself as the one who was unhappy in the marriage. Hembrow's unfiltered video showing her side of the story, and at her lowest, appears as her attempt to offer insight into her reality during the marriage. Other than this clip, Hembrow has seemingly been handling the media frenzy this week quite lightly, posting TikToks calling her haters 'boring' and even cheekily wearing Smith's jacket in one of them.

House of the week: Rare waterfront wonder
A one-of-a-kind Darwin home facing the Nightcliff foreshore is on the market for the first time since it was built 40 years ago. Architecturally designed by Steven Ehrlich and built by Tommy Valentine, the house sits on a 1740 sqm double block at 216 Casuarina Drive, Nightcliff, with 48.14m of coastal frontage and a pool. The home has four-bedrooms, two bathrooms, a mezzanine with library, a joyful colour scheme and an eclectic mix of furniture collected across the years, which will remain with the property. Steve Baddeley and his first wife Susan, who has sadly passed away, built the house and brought up four children in the home. Mr Baddeley said he wanted an expansive, solid home that made use of the environment and the beach across the road. 'The build was meant to take six month but it took 13,' he said. 'It was fantastic when we finally moved in. 'I must admit we have a very long room – it's the length of a cricket pitch – and walking back and forth to the kitchen from the bedroom when we first moved in, my wife and I got very sore feet.' In a recent interview, architect Steven Ehrlich said the challenge with the home was designing a tropical house using reinforced concrete. 'To take advantage of the site and the breezes and being blockwork walls, we decided we would put a big veranda around the house to shade the walls and keep the sun off the walls,' he said. 'And then essentially, what we've done is ventilate the roof space, which you can see through the timber louvres in the walls and the ridge vent. 'The eaves are actually open and when the sun heats up the air between the ceiling and the roof space, hot air rises and so it rises through the central roof vent and draws in cool air.' The home has double doors opening into a formal entryway, which sits in a cathedral-style living space the runs the length of the home with exposed rafters, roof vent and timber louvres high up on the walls. Running off one end of this space is a kitchen, laundry, bathroom and dining room. At the other end of the home there are three bedrooms with built-in robes and a master suite with ensuite. Above the bedrooms, a mezzanine level with full-height bookcases opens to a big balcony and views over the pool and the Nightcliff foreshore. The home has expansive verandas, landscaped tropical gardens, mature trees and plenty of lawns. Mr Baddeley said the home was once 'flesh-coloured' by recently received a bright makeover. 'My second wife, Dominique, and I were in Vietnam early last year,' he said. 'We were in Hanoi and we saw an old French colonial building and it was painted this (golden) colour and I said that's the colour we need to pain home. 'I'm a great believer in light and colour impacting your psyche. 'When we have breakfast sitting around the side of the house, it just changes our mood. 'You look at the sun on the (house) colour and the greenery from the garden and it makes you happy.' Mr Baddeley said developing the gardens had also been an 'act of love and interest'. 'I built a thing called a 'folly',' he said. 'It's a very English thing to have a folly, which is meant to look like a ruin. 'Mine is probably the only purpose-built built ruin in Darwin.' Mr Baddeley said some of his fondest memories in the Casuarina Drive home involved his family and entertaining. 'For many years, starting in, I think, 2002, we've had a lunch for all my friends here, about 40 of them on long trestle tables down the main room,' he said. 'We also enjoy watching the storms and the clouds and the weather. 'We watch the ships going out and the very occasional crocodile. 'One episode I can remember clearly – a few years ago as the sun was setting a dolphin or a porpoise started to leap up in the air in the rays of the setting sun, and it did it over and over about 20 times.' Mr Baddeley said he enjoyed having a front-row seat to the Nightcliff foreshore. 'People watching is one of the great pastimes we don't appreciate enough,' he said. 'We sit out in the garden having breakfast and we look at the people walking and cycling past. 'People dance on the dance floor that used to belong to old hotel, people come have parties, people get married there, my own daughter got married across the road.' Mr Baddeley said though the time had come to say goodbye to his family home, he and his wife would miss it. 'We'll both miss the house, the garden, the space, the access to the sea, the cycle path and the whole ambience of this area,' he said. 'It would be good for someone with children. 'I think it deserves children and someone who enjoys entertaining.'

Trial for Outback Wrangler Matt Wright hears explosive claims
A Netflix reality star 'idolised' by his staff was an 'anti-vaxxer' who broke Covid-19 laws and was allegedly secretly recorded talking about tinkering with flight records while visiting a chopper crash survivor left paraplegic in hospital, a jury has heard. The extraordinary claims about Outback Wrangler Matt Wright were made this week during his trial in the Northern Territory Supreme Court, where he is charged with three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice. The 45-year-old celebrity is accused of failing to accurately record flight times in the Robinson-R-44 that crashed in February 2022, killing his co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson. It is not alleged Mr Wright is responsible for the crash. Mr Wilson, 34, was dangling from a sling attached to the helicopter during a dangerous crocodile egg collecting mission when the chopper crashed in Arnhem Land. CHOPPER RECORDS ALLEGEDLY FUDGED Pilot Seb Robinson, who survived the crash but is now a paraplegic, testified his former boss was an 'anti-vaxxer' despite Mr Wright going to two Covid restricted areas – the remote helicopter crash site and the injured pilot's Brisbane hospital room. He told the jury the main reason Mr Wright was not on the egg mission was 'because he was an anti-vaxxer'. At the time, there were strict Covid rules for anyone entering remote areas in the Territory, where they needed to provide proof of vaccination and take a rapid antigen test. The jury previously heard Mr Wright flew to the crash site with Wild Harvest NT director Mick Burns and off-duty senior NT Police officer Neil Mellon. Following the crash, Mr Robinson spent one month in hospital, where Covid restrictions meant two people could visit and everyone needed to provide a valid vaccination certificate. Mr Robinson said he had just come out of a coma, was heavily sedated and 'hallucinating' but 'vaguely' remembered a visit from Mr Wright and his wife Kaia on March 11. 'I have a vivid memory of him having some sort of paperwork in his hands,' Mr Robinson said. He alleged his boss wanted to move 'a few' hours from the crashed helicopter – with the call sign IDW – to Mr Robinson's personal chopper,with the call sign ZXZ. Mr Robinson, 28, also alleged Mr Wright 'asked to go through my phone and delete a few things'. 'I remember looking over and seeing him holding my phone and flicking through it and deleting things,' Mr Robinson said. The jury heard the former pilot also deleted 'some stuff', including phone notes for start and stop times for IDW during egg collection trips. 'It was a very hard time for me. I didn't know who to trust and I panicked and went along with it,' he said. Mr Robinson alleged on Mr Wright's second hospital visit he brought Jai Thomlinson to again discuss the transfer of hours from IDW to ZXZ. 'I just remember having concerns about what was happening,' Mr Robinson said. 'I said I didn't feel comfortable doing it,' he said. 'I don't think (Mr Wright) was upset … he sort of said: 'That's OK.'' A secret mobile audio recording of this hospital visit allegedly captured Mr Wright talking about IDW flight times over the phone. Mr Robinson admitted he initially repeatedly lied to investigators because he 'panicked' and was worried about losing his pilot's licence. PILOT'S COCAINE PARTYING Mr Robinson admitted he used cocaine 'a couple times a year' – up to 10 times over 12 months – but he denied he was a 'raging cocaine junkie'. The former pilot said he had never flown a helicopter while intoxicated, either by drugs or alcohol. He admitted he sometimes supplied cocaine for his mates and footy players, as well as flying small amounts of booze into Aboriginal communities. But Mr Robinson denied being a 'drug dealer' while being questioned about a series of texts about his wild partying. Mr Wright's defence counsel David Edwardson accused Mr Robinson of 'sourcing and supplying' cocaine from 2018 to the time of the crash. Mr Edwardson read messages from the pilot's friends asking 'are you getting more coke?', 'Seb any chance you know where to get the good stuff?' and 'anyone got bags?'. In one message exchange, Mr Robinson told a friend he was 'crook as a dog', with his mate replying 'snorting too much coke out of Matty's arse?'. Mr Robinson said the friend knew Mr Wright. But the lawyer has said the reality star had a 'zero tolerance' approach to drugs. Under cross-examination, Mr Robinson was also grilled about a message sent to a mate in November 2019, saying there were 'footy players in town wanting bags' and other texts referring to 'zingers' and 'pills'. 'Are you implying I'm a drug dealer? … No,' Mr Robinson said. While Mr Robinson did not believe he was a trafficker, Justice Alan Blow explained: 'It is trafficking, even if you're not making any money for yourself.' Trace amounts of cocaine were detected in Mr Robinson's blood, which prosecutor Jason Gullaci said experts were likely to say was from use days before the crash. Mr Robinson admitted to flying in booze to remote communities, but said he did not sell the alcohol. He said 'on occasion' he would take a small amount of alcohol under the seat of his chopper for people in Arnhem Land. PILOT'S INJURIES Mr Robinson said his last memory from that fateful day was 'having a laugh' with his mate in the chopper. The jury was shown a photo of Mr Wilson piloting the Robinson R-44, with the image appearing to capture the fuel gauge between three-quarters and completely full mark. Mr Robinson said at that level, the helicopter should have been able to travel from Noonamah to King River and back. He became emotional as he shared his next memory – waking up in hospital, then being told his friend was dead and he would likely never walk again. Mr Robinson's spinal cord was completely severed, he had 12 broken ribs and puncturing in his lungs. His neck, elbow and both ankles were also fractured. He said he struggled with his memory due to a traumatic brain injury. NETFLIX STAR AN 'IDOL' Fellow helicopter pilot Jock Purcell told the jury he took official aviation records from Mr Robinson's home two days after the crash but could not recall who asked him to do it. He said he did not show the logbook to anyone or take photos of the official records, but was later asked by Mr Robinson to return the records. 'I took it home, and then Seb's brothers come and got it from my house,' Mr Purcell said. However, in a tapped telephone conversation between Mr Purcell and Mr Wright five months after the crash, the pair allegedly discussed Mr Robinson talking to investigators, the crashed chopper's maintenance release and Hobbs Meter, which records flight hours. 'Something had gone on with the Hobbs there, I dunno, they've moved it forward or some f***ing thing as well,' Mr Wright said. 'I'm just trying to think how much Sebby's, or what Sebby's tried to say to them, if anything even.' The pair then said some of that information could have been gathered from the maintenance release, which pilots fill out to record flight hours and service histories of helicopters. Three years after the bugged call, Mr Purcell told the court he was unsure if it was related to the crash investigation. Mr Purcell, who arrived at the crash scene, initially said he did not remember anyone approaching but then said the only thing removed were a few headsets. However, under cross examination, Mr Purcell said: 'I know someone lifted the dash of the helicopter.' Mr Purcell said he checked to see why the chopper might have gone down, and happened to notice the Hobbs Meter was connected. But Mr Gullaci alleged the sole purpose for Mr Purcell to look under the dash was to inspect this device 'because you knew there was a practice among Matt Wright's helicopters of the Hobbs Meter being disconnected'. 'And you wanted to see whether it was connected or not, for when investigators turned up to look at the crashed helicopter?' Mr Gullaci asked. Mr Purcell said he did not believe that was the case. When asked what else he could have been inspecting, the experienced pilot said: 'I'm not an investigator so I don't know.' However, Mr Purcell had already conceded there was a pattern of not recording flight hours, and had previously seen both Mr Wright and Mr Robinson disconnect the Hobbs Meter. He said there were times when the flight hour recorder was disconnected because 'it was getting close to service'. Mr Robinson also made full admissions to the jury of his own dodgy record keeping practices, which he said were common across the Territory helicopter industry. After almost a decade in the industry, Mr Robinson alleged he had worked for two other businesses which had similarly failed to properly record flight hours. Mr Robinson agreed he continued to 'break the rules' while working at Mr Wright's company. '(Mr Wright) would say 'pop the clock for this trip',' Mr Robinson alleged. He also said Mr Wright 'controlled all aspects of his aircraft regarding maintenance scheduling'. Mr Robinson said employees 'absolutely' followed Mr Wright's directions. 'We were young men, we looked up to him,' he said. 'Everyone looked at Matt as an idol. He'd say 'jump' and they'd say 'how high?' 'He had an aura about him. 'Everyone wanted to be around him, work for him, everyone bent over backwards to try and be a part of what he was doing.' The trial continues.
