AFL star Bailey Smith has set tongues wagging after being seen getting close with fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow on the Gold Coast. This comes hot on the heels of Hembrow’s divorce announcement from reality TV personality Matt Zukowski.
The duo was spotted at Burleigh Pavilion, where witnesses described them as openly affectionate, holding hands and sharing kisses for hours. Their evident connection quickly became the talk of the venue.
Reports from the Herald Sun indicate Smith and Hembrow were seen together again on Saturday night, following Geelong’s triumph over Essendon. These repeated sightings have only amplified speculation about their relationship.
Images published by The Daily Mail captured the moment the pair noticed photographers outside Burleigh Pavilion. They had been enjoying a meal at the chic Rick Shores restaurant inside the venue.
Back in Melbourne on Sunday, Smith faced questions from a reporter who botched Hembrow’s surname. Clearly irritated, he retorted, “F***in’ hell, do your research,” as shown in a viral online clip.
When directly asked if he and Hembrow were an item, Smith dodged the question, saying, “What do you want me to say?” before cursing at the reporter, leaving their status unconfirmed.
Hembrow, 31, and Zukowski, 30, revealed their separation in June, only seven months after their extravagant Byron Bay wedding. The split followed persistent rumors about their relationship struggles.
In a candid seven-minute video, Hembrow addressed the divorce, saying, “I didn’t expect this, nor did I want it. You marry someone believing it’s for life.”
Zukowski, a former Love Island contestant, recently expressed feeling blindsided by Hembrow’s swift move forward. “It’s only been 48 days, and I’m still grappling with my emotions,” he shared with the Herald Sun.
Whispers suggest photos of Smith and Hembrow have been circulating privately, with some possibly emerging publicly soon. Their public appearances continue to stoke curiosity about their connection.
Hembrow, a prominent Gold Coast influencer, is a mother of three from previous relationships with ex-fiancés Reece Hawkins and Matt Poole. Her personal life often attracts significant media attention.
With romance rumors swirling, fans and media are eagerly watching for any confirmation from Smith and Hembrow. For now, their Gold Coast moments have ignited a frenzy of speculation online and in tabloids.
