AFL star Bailey Smith and fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow busted in secret romance amid latter’s recent divorce

Australian Football League player Bailey Smith and well-known fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow have sparked a media frenzy after being spotted together on the Gold Coast, igniting rumors of a new romance just weeks after Hembrow announced her separation from husband Matt Zukowski.

Smith and Hembrow were spotted together at the popular Burleigh Pavilion. Later, they were also seen dining at the upscale restaurant Rick Shores inside the venue. Additionally, they were spotted out together again on a Saturday night following Geelong’s victory over Essendon. Their public appearances at these locations confirmed suspicions of their relationship after her recent divorce announcement.

Reports and photos surfaced showing the pair holding hands and sharing intimate moments publicly, leading to widespread speculation about their relationship. Despite neither Bailey Smith nor Tammy Hembrow officially confirming the status of their relationship, their public appearances have amplified interest among fans and media alike.


Tammy Hembrow had publicly revealed in June 2025 via a TikTok video that she and Zukowski were divorcing after nearly two years of marriage. The couple had met in September 2023, gotten engaged by November that year, and married in late 2024. Their split followed rumors of infidelity, which were denied by Zukowski who explained misunderstandings with photos of him socializing with others.

Matt Zukowski responded to reports of Hembrow’s new relationship with Smith in emotional terms, telling media outlets he was still processing the breakup just eight weeks prior and struggling with the rapid developments. He said in Where’s Your Head At Podacst:

“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.”

On the other side, media personalities have commented lightheartedly on the rumored romance. During a discussion on the Today Show, hosts joked about the couple’s appearance and chemistry, reported soapcentral:

“I don't know who is prettier. They kind of look like twins.”
“They could probably share the same shampoo and conditioner.”
“Wow, that's a handsome couple. Good luck to them. Love is love.”

As public attention mounts, both Bailey Smith and Tammy Hembrow have remained tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying the relationship in official statements.

Bailey Smith is one of the AFL’s rising stars, well-regarded for his skill on the field and significant social media presence. Tammy Hembrow is a veteran fitness influencer, entrepreneur, and mother, with a massive following for her lifestyle and fitness content.
