Bailey Smith and Tammy Hembrow busted in secret romance
Bailey Smith and Tammy Hembrow have been spotted cuddling up with each other in a secret romance. The Geelong footballer and fitness queen have been photographed holding hands and putting their arms around each other as they left a Gold Coast watering hole on Saturday. Paparazzi photos show the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other as they left a ritzy, chef-hatted venue at Burleigh Heads — the day after the Cats' victory over Essendon in Geelong. According to The Herald Sun, it is the second time the pair have been spotted together on the Gold Coast. Hembrow announced her divorce form ex-husband Matt Zukowski in June. Photos taken on Saturday showed Smith, 24, and Hembrow, 31, dined together at Asian fusion hot spot Rick Shores, which is one venue inside the famous Burleigh Pavilion night spot. According to the report, the pair were seen kissing during their outing together. Zukowski has expressed his shock after learning of Hembrow's public appearances with Smith. 'I heard about this and it's not a nice feeling,' he told The Herald Sun. '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.' Photos first published by The Daily Mail, show Hembrow and Smith knew their secret was out when they spotted cameras outside the venue. A reporter for the publication also approached Smith as he arrived back in Melbourne on Sunday. A video posted online shows Smith was asked about Hembrow and corrected a photographer who mispronounced Hembrow's name. 'F***in' hell, do your research,' he told the photographer. When asked if the pair are together, Smith replied: 'What do you want me to say?' Hembrow recently addressed her divorce with her Instagram followers in a video where she broke down in tears. '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.' Zukowski, 29, last month also addressed the separation on the 'Where's Your Head At?' podcast. 'There is no easy way to say this, I'm absolutely shattered to announce it, to be honest,' he said. '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, I've learnt a lot about what I need in a relationship and what's right for me.' He went on to say: 'I've been struggling a lot'. Hembrow and Zukowski tied the knot in November, 2024. Hembrow has three children: Wolf and Saskia with her ex-fiance Reece Hawkins, and her daughter Posy with her ex-fiance Matt Poole. Smith last year quietly split from former partner Gemma Dawkins. The former Western Bulldogs star will return to the field for the Cats wen they face the Swans in Sydney on Sunday. Smith is one of the most popular players in the AFL and has the biggest Instagram following in the league. He has been in red hot form for the Cats this year, proving himself one of the best players in the game. Hembrow, founder of the activewear brand Saski Collection, has 17 million Instagram followers and is a giant of the fitness industry. Her multimillion-dollar business empire is continuing to grow off the back of fashion projects and wellbeing promotions.

Top notch equestrian estate with luxury home listed in Wallington
The vendor of this Wallington lifestyle property threw caution to the wind when her family bought the 10ha parcel of land with no guarantee of securing a building permit for a house. The keen showjumper and dressage rider faced a long wait, exacerbated by Covid, before getting the green light to construct a new modern farmhouse at 522-550 Grubb Rd, Wallington. But, true to form, she put the time to good use, creating the equestrian estate of her dreams. 'I had my horses agisted at a place and I was spending several hours a day there and my husband and daughter got sick of me not being around,' she says. Bellarine Peninsula gets green light for 2000 new homes 'They said 'why don't be buy some land so we can have the horses there?'. We looked at everything from five acres and this 25 acres had become available and it was a blank canvas so we bought it very much on spec hoping we would be able to get a building permit and started the equestrian facilities and they just took on a life of their own.' A full sized showjumping area, 22 paddocks and four 6m x 6m stables are among first-class equestrian facilities that now bring in an income through agistment and clinics. Much to everyone else's relief, the family also eventually got its long-awaited custom luxury home, constructed by award-winning Bellarine Peninsula firm Larkin & Drought. The vendor designed the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house with help from a draftsman and wanted it to look like a shearing shed so it didn't stand out in the area's rural landscape. A glass breezeway – suggested by builder Drew Larkin – links two pavilions, one home to a vast open-plan living area and the other a rumpus room and four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. 'That big open living area is really lovely to spend time in but it's really quite surprising when you open up the door between the sections of the house and that glass walkway is just filled with beautiful light no matter what time of day because it goes east and west,' the vendors says. As well as crafting the living area's signature exposed rafters, the builder also added an exposed brick wall and devised a clever spiral deck wrapped in corrugated cladding for the magnesium plunge pool outside. 'He took a bit of artistic licence and ran with it, which was really nice. He was really fantastic to work with,' she says. Wide vine-covered decks for entertaining or soaking up the rural views and a fire pit area are accessible from both the primary living area and the oversized main bedroom suite. In winter, built-in bench seating in the living room invites guests to settle in by the double sided wood fire. 'We have the most expansive views from all the windows, it's quite incredible. You get sunrises on one side and sunsets on the other,' the vendor says. RT Edgar, Bellarine agent Felix Hakins is calling for expressions of interest in 522-550 Grubb Rd, Wallington, by 5pm on August 25. Price hopes are $4.8m to $5.28m.
