Tammy Hembrow gets her groove back as she poses for photo shoot in New Zealand after fleeing Australia and revealing weight loss following split with Matt Zukowski
The fitness influencer, 31, is hiding out in New Zealand amid her split from husband Matt Zukowski.
On Tuesday, Tammy got her groove back as she posed for a photo shoot on the balcony of a hotel in Queenstown.
Her stepbrother Max Thynne was behind the camera as the social media sensation worked her angles.
Tammy stunned in a semi-sheer pale blue dress that sat close to her figure and featured long sleeves as well as a turtleneck design.
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, .
She appeared to be in good spirits, laughing with her little brother between takes and checking the results as they went.
It comes after Tammy revealed her heart is still 'aching' following her split from husband Matt, as she mends her wounds in New Zealand.
Tammy fled Australia with her three children - Wolf, nine, Saskia, seven, and Posy, three - after news broke of their separation.
Earlier on Tuesday, she shared a gallery of images which reveal her post-breakup weight loss as she stays at the idyllic Lake Hayes Cottages in Queenstown.
'The most beautiful stay at @qtcottages,' she wrote in her caption as she posed in front of a private hot tub in her $995-per-night lakeside cottage.
'A blissful escape in the most stunning setting. Not without moments that ache... but healing is never linear and I'm so grateful to be here with my babiesss.'
The photos saw Tammy cradling a hot beverage in her hands as she stood next to a hot tub and posed against the beautiful backdrop of the New Zealand landscape.
Tammy has spent much of the last week documenting her stay in New Zealand following her split from former Love Island star Matt.

On Monday, she shared some photos from her trip to Queenstown and revealed visiting the area would become a new family tradition.
'Something so cosy and comforting about this place,' she wrote in her caption on Instagram.
'I think we're going to have to make this a yearly tradition. The start of something new.'
Matt, 29, and Tammy are headed for divorce after just seven months of marriage, with the influencer jetting off to the South Island to recuperate in the wake of their split.
Despite her heartache, Tammy has very much been in doting mother mode as she enjoys the idyllic getaway with her children.
On Saturday, she posted a series of images and clips showing her and her three children living it up in Queenstown.
The family foursome were getting into the festive spirit early, celebrating a whimsical Christmas in July.
'Christmas in July because who doesn't love a lil winter Christmas magic?' Tammy captioned the sweet snaps.

'When I tell you my soul NEEDED thissss. Forever my favourite holiday.
'A reminder of warmth, family, the magic of slowing down and the joy that lives in the littlest moments. The cosiest first night in NZ w my babies!!'
Tammy announced her shock split from Matt last month in an emotional video.
The former reality star also revealed the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly.
'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began.
'Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children.
'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support.
Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup.
'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post.

Tammy Hembrow's son rushed to hospital after shock accident
Tammy Hembrow 's 10-year-old son Wolf has been rushed to hospital following an accident at school camp. The Gold Coast -based influencer shared a clip to social media on Thursday detailing the harrowing ordeal. 'We just got out of the emergency room, I dropped Wolf to camp this morning and not long after I got a call saying to come to the hospital,' Tammy began. She then revealed the full extent of her son's injuries and how the accident occurred. 'He had cut up his face a bit, he headbutted a metal frame on a bunk bed,' she added, and then reassured her fans her son was recovering. 'I feel really bad he is missing camp because he has been talking about this for so long! He had stitches, glue and a metal bit through his mouth! But we had a good day despite being in the hospital pretty much all day.' On Wednesday, Tammy was seen crying as she dropped her 10-year-old son Wolf off at school camp. Tammy, who is currently dating AFL star Bailey Smith, shed tears in her Bentley following the milestone moment. The 31-year-old was in full mum mode as she earlier carried her daughter Posy, three, from the luxury car and helped her son fit his sleeping bag into his backpack. She cut a casual figure in a pair of white sweatpants and a cropped navy blue sweater. Buzzing with excitement, Tammy's little boy couldn't wait for the school adventure as he carried his pillow, Batman suitcase and rucksack, which his mum lovingly helped pack. However, it was the moment after Tammy had waved goodbye to her firstborn that set the social media star off. The content creator could be seen sitting in her car, wiping away tears as her son left for the school camp. Tammy shares son Wolf and daughter Saskia with ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins, while her youngest Posy she shares with Matt Poole, whom she was also engaged to. In the past couple of weeks she has been spotted on two dates with footy star Bailey. The 24-year-old, who plays for the Geelong Cats in Victoria, has flown to the Gold Coast two weekends in a row to spend time with Tammy. The couple were first seen leaving hand in hand after a meal at swanky Asian fusion restaurant Rick Shores at Burleigh Heads before being caught making out at another restaurant. The pair were more recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll to Nobby's Beach, where the footy player appeared to have his arm wrapped around Tammy's hips. Tammy and Matt Zukowski announced they were ending their marriage two months ago in separate social media posts. Since then, Matt has admitted he felt 'hurt' watching his former partner move on so quickly with Bailey after their break-up. The Love Island star also hinted that he was the one to end things between them, despite speculation it was Tammy who took the lead.

I kissed a mum (and I liked it): lust, sex and the school run
'If you can't beat them, join them,' doesn't usually apply to dating. But when my ex-husband started seeing a mum with a child in the same class as our son just a few months after our divorce — a woman to whom I'd previously nodded hello at the school gate, and made idle conversation with at quizzes and year 2 discos — well, I admit I thought: sod it. I'll date a school mum too then. So, I did… several, actually, in the past few years since I became a fortysomething single mother. It's all part of my late-life lesbian adventure — and now I'm convinced that every woman of a certain age should try it. Because, let's face it: after childbirth and perimenopause, who isn't completely sick of men? Sex on the school run is surprisingly common — and if you look around at sports day and simply can't imagine that sack races are happening after hours (by which I mean between 9am and 3pm, bringing a whole new meaning to the concept of 'school pick-up'), I'm here to tell you: you are very, very wrong. • Read more expert advice on sex, relationships, dating and love It may no longer be de rigueur to put pampas grass in the front garden to signify there are swingers in the neighbourhood, but, in my circle of middle-class friends, a common and clandestine pursuit today is mums having affairs with each other around PTA meetings. I've done it multiple times since I came out of my marriage. I've started calling it my 'butterfly years' — because you wouldn't believe whom you attract once you unfurl those wings. The first mum I 'dated' (she's still married — to a man — so it's not quite your clear-cut 'Juliet leaves Romeo for Rosaline' situation) propositioned me on a mums' night out. You know — the kind of social event that's organised on a giant WhatsApp group; the kind that gets planned and replanned endless times, then when it finally comes around involves making polite conversation about kitchen islands and whether the kids get enough homework. (Sandra with the wasp mouth always thinks they should get more, and Jenny — who's never missed a Glastonbury and always misses parents' evening — never does any homework with her kids.) This kind of organised fun — which is always called 'drinkies', never 'drinks' — can feel like going into battle, where you have to smile politely and keep your mouth shut for fear of dropping a social clanger that would mean you're never invited to Tiggy's summer party with its free-flowing prosecco again. It can be stiff and gladiatorial, it can be snipey and like Mean Girls — at least until the third bottle of wine, where things tend to get loose and interesting, usually back at someone's house. A lot more interesting, in my case. • The midlife sex revolution: why the over-50s are signing up to Feeld Because that's when Rosaline (let's call her that) — sexy, super-successful, straight, or that's what I'd assumed — leant in close, brushed my hair behind my ear and asked in a whisper if I fancied walking home together through the fields rather than taking the road. I said yes, obviously. That night, as Rosaline pressed me against a tree to kiss me, I realised that rather than scroll wearily through dating apps, what I wanted post-divorce — no-strings dating, frivolous fun — was right on my doorstep. Literally. And once I took that step, there was no turning back. For despite being married for ten years to a man, despite never advertising my fluid sexuality openly or going out of my way to tell anyone that I found women attractive too, it was as if I'd switched on some kind of invisible beacon. For those not in the know, sex with a woman just hits differently (and in all the right places). Women are softer, gentler, more intuitive; we pay more attention to the non-verbal signs that our partners are enjoying what we are doing — and change tack as soon as we pick up that they're not. There's no such thing as ploughing on regardless or selfishly demanding something our partner isn't into. I've yet to meet a woman who insists we 'perform' in the same way men do, who makes me feel unsafe or transparently recreates scenes they've seen in hardcore porn. I've never had a woman grab my throat without consent, for example, though that's happened with plenty of men; no woman has ever got off on calling me a 'whore' or a 'slut'. Plus, women have a built-in understanding of other women's bodies; we appreciate that the key to good sex is simply tuning into what you like — and then saying it out loud (we all know that women are the fairer sex when it comes to communication). Think about it: how many men will make you dinner, run you a bath, help around the house, even offer you a massage — when they're not even trying to have sex? That's women for you. And it's why I seriously struggle to imagine ever going back to men. After things with Rosaline tapered off (she got a job in New York), the next woman to cross my path was another divorced, straight-seeming school mum who 'super-swiped' me on Tinder, where my search filters aren't gender-specific but are set to 'interested in everyone'. I pinged her a message saying I was surprised to see her there, joked that she was a 'top pick', and she then sent me this text on an unassuming Tuesday night: 'I've always thought you were smoking hot and I really fancy you.' She then booty-called me, all through lockdown. Yet at the park, pushing our kids on the swings, meeting up with other parents for picnics and going to godawful trampoline parks, nobody would know a thing. And that's all part of the thrill. Plus, trysts take on a whole new meaning when they're happening halfway through the work or school day. There's something extra-naughty about fitting in a snog or heavy petting session that has to wind up by 3pm; of arriving at school separately and sharing a grin with the person who gave you an orgasm less than an hour earlier. Rosaline and I would ask each other nonchalantly at the bike sheds, in front of a group, 'How was your afternoon? Get up to much?', knowing full well that as little as 30 minutes ago we were entwined on a bed at one of our houses. And if anyone were to see one or the other of us leaving, we had the perfect excuse: we were 'just dropping something off' or 'having a cup of tea' (or, on one memorable occasion when we were almost caught by a fellow parent having a hot stolen moment in a quiet section of a local garden centre, 'just helping to choose some bulbs'). I had no idea extramarital midlife affairs between women were so rife, or could be quite so dramatic. One woman, with whom I hooked up at a friend's 50th birthday party, ended up leaving her husband and coming out as gay. Whoops. Another mum with whom I'd only exchanged niceties at school bake sales found me on the hook-up app Feeld, said she recognised me from the playground — and then confessed she and her husband were looking for a 'unicorn': a third; a woman to join them and become their girlfriend. I politely declined. I had no desire to join someone else's marriage — I'd only just escaped my own. Still, it gave me a peculiar frisson to continue to smile and nod to her at pick-up, thinking of the intimate pictures I'd seen on their shared profile; knowing for the first time what really went on behind closed doors. I've since organised nights out to places like Pussy Liquor at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club — featuring gay cabaret and a lot of glitter — with a group of mums I somehow sense might not entirely be averse to that kind of environment (and triumphantly scored snogs with some of them on the dancefloor). And I've been to lesbian bars with mates whose husbands are fine for them to explore romance with women — just no men. One single mum walked home with me from a night out at a local bar and gave me a passionate kiss at the bus stop, then never mentioned it again. I've been to fetish nights, intimate burlesque shows held in central London and brothel-themed events dressed up as 'performance art'. I've attended 'single and mingles' for corporate women at cocktail bars with a dress code of pencil skirts and heels (and ended up having a one-night stand with an estate agent called Katherine). I've even been (alone) to luxe penthouses in west London to privately organised parties for high-earning women aged 30-plus (spoiler: it was full of CEOs in Coco de Mer). There have been bigger, naughtier group nights out too, arranged in snatched conversations while walking into an end-of-term assembly — such as the time a couple of mums (both creatives) asked me if I wanted to join them at an 'all-women play party'. I said yes, of course, because I made a pledge with myself when I entered my forties never to say no to a wild escapade. Every misadventure begins at someone's house (usually the one whose ex-husband has the kids for the weekend), where we drink and dive into each other's wardrobes, laugh and swap shapewear and fishnets, and compliment each other's cleavage — just like any other girls' night out. It's not just me getting up to mischief, either: single friends with kids at other schools have told me tales of their own scandals, post-divorce. Such as the time one went home with a 24-year-old; and another night where two of them (both mums, both divorced, who met when their kids were at nursery together) ended up in a threesome with a man they took home from a bar. I know at least three high-profile and successful women — authors, TV producers, business owners — who have followed the eerily similar trajectory of being in monogamous relationships with men, followed by kids, divorce and a long-term lesbian relationship, all when they hit their forties. And what I've noticed is that these women, when they hit this spot, simultaneously reject all aspects of the 'straight' lives they lived before. Gone are the Instagram posts about 'mum life' and feeling 'blessed' — they've swapped hashtags about their Victorian semis (#reno) for #pride and #bisexualawareness and #lesbianvisibilityday. In this era of being open about the menopause and female empowerment as we hurtle towards 50, it's fascinating to watch women of my age evolve — and find their 'true selves' in the arms of other women. I sometimes think of it as the 'Miranda July effect'. Her scandalous 2024 novel about womanhood, age and desire, All Fours — in which the main character leaves her husband and child for a journey of self-discovery just 20 minutes down the road, at a cheap motel, where she falls 'in lust' with a man half her age and has lesbian adventures along the way — has been passed around our local book clubs like a cup of confessional wine. • The dirty, funny novel that should have won the Women's Prize 'Have you read All Fours yet?' has become a byword for sizzling conversation; acting as a password that lets you into the inner lives of the women around you. Forget mumsy haircuts and dresses from Boden, these women — the type who have read and loved All Fours — are openly reassessing their lives, their happiness and their sexuality. And I'm one of them. When I happen to mention that I'm dating to a casual friend or acquaintance, and if I say that it's — shock! — a woman, there's always the same response: 'Oh, my friend did that.' And by 'did that' they mean they know a woman, just like me, who has conducted a graceful and sensual pivot from men to women in later life. The interesting thing is that when these 'straight' and married friends react like this, it's often followed up with, 'I'm so jealous,' or, 'I wish I were a lesbian.' To which I can't help responding, 'Well, why don't you try it and see if you are?' Anecdotal evidence aside, even the latest statistics suggest that more women are 'going gay'. We know that an estimated 3.8 per cent of the UK population aged 16 years and over identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual in 2023 — a rise from 2.2 per cent in 2018. Previous research from 2023 also found that women are more likely to display a bisexual pattern in their arousal compared with men. Perhaps women like me are simply so fed up with being mothers to our husbands for so many years that we finally feel brave enough to make the conscious choice to reject the men (and all that comes with them) for someone who makes love and empties the dishwasher afterwards. What do women really want? Someone who wouldn't even think of leaving her underwear on the floor for anyone else to pick up. Someone who actually listens. Someone who understands the difficulty of juggling childcare and work. Someone on the school run.
