The bizarre post came after Tammy, 31, confirmed her split from Matt on Sunday after just seven months of marriage.
Just days later, the fitness influencer showed her ex what he's missing before she jetted off on a relaxing holiday to New Zealand.
She turned up the heat in a series of Instagram photos on Thursday as she ran errands before her flight.
Tammy flaunted her figure in a white mini skirt and cropped jumper as she got into her luxury car.
She completed her look with a pair of sneakers, long white socks, and carried a brown bag for the outing.
The influencer left her long blonde locks out and wore a natural makeup palette.
'Errands before our lil getaway. Honestly this couldn't have come at a more perfect time!! Guys give me all your Queenstown recommendations!!!' she wrote.
Tammy's trip comes just days after she announced her shock split from Matt in an emotional video on Sunday.

The podcaster 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 later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video, telling fans she would be getting a divorce.
'I don't want to get into the details and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' she told fans.
'Obviously when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever and I blame no one but myself,' Tammy continued while breaking down in tears.
'I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I'm good at putting on rose-coloured glasses.
'Obviously the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I will be okay, but I feel awful.'
Tammy first sparked concern in March after she was spotted crying in a bathroom, while Matt was later overheard allegedly 'talking crap' about his wife at a South Melbourne gym.
In the weeks that followed, Matt quietly moved out of the couple's Queensland home and relocated back to Melbourne, where he resumed working for his father's pool business.
While Matt continued to co-host his podcast Where's Your Head At? with ex-girlfriend and fellow Love Island alum Anna McEvoy, Tammy was noticeably absent from his social media.
Meanwhile, the Gold Coast-based influencer has remained in Queensland with her three children - son Wolf, nine, daughter Saskia, seven, and toddler Posy, three - from previous relationships.
Matt was notably missing from several major family events over the past two months, including Tammy's 31st birthday, Posy's fairy-themed third birthday party, and even Easter weekend.
Tammy and Matt tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Château Du Soleil in Byron Bay on November 23.
They got engaged in December 2023 following just three months of dating.
The jet-setting pair were engaged in the Maldives, before heading off to Greece and Bali for luxury holidays.
Tammy has been engaged twice before, the first time to influencer Reece Hawkins, whom she shares her son Wolf and daughter Saskia with. The second time to Matt Poole who she shares daughter Posey with.

Shock reason pop star Dannii Minogue has been spotted in her hometown of Melbourne - after living in the UK for 30 years
, who lived in the UK for 30 years, looked very sad on Thursday when she was spotted out and about in Melbourne. She could be seen taking comfort from young Aussie actor Harrison Popple as she fought back tears. But all was not as it seems, as the Australian pop star, 53, was in St Kilda filming scenes for her glamorous TV comeback on a new Channel 5 drama, Imposter. The singer, who moved back Down Under in 2021 to be closer to her family, proved she's still got what it takes to be a screen star, decades after she quit acting. While filming, the hitmaker was garbed in a summery dress with watercolour and horse detailing. She topped it with a baby blue trench-coat and matching wedge heels as she shot emotional scenes with her co-star. Dannii appeared overjoyed to be on-set, opting for a natural glam look as she left her tresses down in loose waves. In between takes, Dannii could be seen keeping warm in a fluffy pink robe and comfortable boots as she ran lines with Harrison. She made sure to stay hydrated, keeping a water bottle clutched in her manicured hands whenever she took a break. One scene saw the star looking morose as she sat down at a picnic table with her fellow actors. Dannii got her start as a small screen darling on Young Talent Time and Home and Away, but jetted off to London in the early '90s to pursue global fame. Three decades after she left acting behind, the superstar is set to return to screens in the four-part murder mystery Imposter. The Aussie star will share the screen with former Coronation Street UK favourite Kym Marsh and Neighbours legend Jackie Woodburne. Jackie, 69, looked almost unrecognisable from her Susan Kennedy days, now sporting a much more mature look with silver hair. Dannii was a vision in baby blue while on set The cast were spotted on set in Melbourne, with filming underway in St Kilda where the popular eatery Riva was dressed as O'Riley On The Pier Hotel for the production. Melbourne will host all the filming, with other Aussie TV stars, Don Hany and Jane Harber, also spotted on set. Imposter is said to be centred around a murder at a seaside resort. Jackie will play matriarch Helen, whose refusal to sell her seaside hotel sparks a dramatic family feud with her three adult children. The series marks Jackie's first non-Neighbours role in more than 30 years. The plot thickens when Amanda, played by Kym, arrives claiming to be Helen's long-lost daughter given up for adoption years ago. As Amanda integrates into the family, doubts arise about her true identity, leading to a gripping tale of deception and betrayal that culminates in murder. Jackie had played beloved Neighbours character Susan, the wife of co-star Alan Fletcher's character Dr Karl Kennedy, since 1994. Since leaving Home and Away in 1990, Dannii has had a successful career, starring on The X Factor and more recently fronting the dating show I Kissed A Boy.

Ex-staffer reveals big secret about Shane Warne - and how he politely SNUBBED Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow
Shane Warne endeared himself to millions during a life cut tragically short, but there was one fact about the brash entertainer that may shock those supporters. Warne is regarded as the greatest leg-spin bowler in cricket history, finishing his Test career with 708 wickets from 145 matches. He announced himself on the world stage in 1993 with the famous 'Ball of the Century' to England's Mike Gatting at Old Trafford, a delivery that pitched well outside leg stump and spun sharply to hit off stump. Warne became a cornerstone of Australia 's golden era under captains Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, playing a key role in Ashes dominance and World Cup success in 1999. His cricketing genius was matched by his showmanship, with trademark celebrations, on-field banter, and a competitive edge that made him a crowd favourite. Off the field, Warne's life was often as colourful as his bowling, with controversies including a one-year ban in 2003 after testing positive to a banned diuretic, high-profile romances with the likes of Liz Hurley, and a reputation for enjoying poker and nightlife. Tragically, Warne died suddenly of a suspected heart attack in March 2022 while holidaying in Thailand at the age of 52. His death shocked the cricket world, with tributes pouring in globally to honour his genius, charisma and impact on the sport. Helen Nolan is an Australian personal and life manager best known for managing Shane Warne's career and personal life for 15 years. She is now the CEO of the Shane Warne Legacy foundation, overseeing initiatives like free health checks to continue Warne's charitable impact. And this week she made a big revelation about the late, great spinner - he never assumed he was in the Australian team, no matter how many wickets he took. 'When I first started working with him, it was just the two of us in the office,' Nolan says. 'He asked me to call Cricket Australia and ask 'IF' he's selected for the Brisbane Test, when would they fly? I said, not knowing anything about cricket, 'Don't you just play every game?' He laughed and said, 'No, you have to be selected'. 'I said, 'Aren't you really good, though, don't you just play every game?' He said, 'I've been lucky enough to be selected for most games, but it's never a given'. That was him all over. No ego. No assumptions. Never took anything for granted.' Warne also had a highly unconventional diet, heavy on pizza, baked beans and pies and including a period where he didn't eat a vegetable for 17 years. He infamously had pizza ordered to high-end restaurants and shunned gourmet food, even when it was cooked by Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow herself. Helen and Warne were guests at Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's house when he was married to Paltrow, and she revealed that he couldn't bring himself to eat her home-cooked risotto. 'Shane was sneakily moving it around his plate, saying 'Mmmm, this is beautiful' while barely eating it,' she said. Helen will treasure those memories for life, but she admitted it taken her three years to finally process the fact Warnie was gone forever. 'That night, I almost went to bed early as I was exhausted, but for some reason I decided to stay up,' she said. 'I was on my couch when my phone rang. It was Andrew Neophitou (Neo) at 10.07pm on a Friday. My first thought was, 'They've barely been in Thailand 24 hours, why are they calling me?' 'Then I thought, Shane might call this late but Neo wouldn't. So I listened to the voicemail. From his voice alone, I immediately knew something was terribly wrong. So I called back. 'I don't remember much of the conversation, but the moment we hung up, everything changed. In less than 10 seconds, my world shattered. I jumped straight into action and didn't stop working for 30 days straight, completely numb, still in shock over losing the person I spoke to most. 'I was across every part of Shane's life – his poker friends, cricket mates, business contacts, family, old friends, overseas connections. Many of them didn't know each other, so my phone was ringing every 15 seconds. 'That night, no one could believe it. I was fielding calls from friends asking, 'It's not true, right?' while also managing media fact-checking, and while trying to process it myself. Meanwhile, Neo and I made around 37 calls just that night alone, not counting texts, keeping each other updated every step of the way.
