Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski have officially called for a divorce just seven months after tying the knot in an intimate Byron Bay ceremony.
The Aussie fitness queen and the Love Island Australia alum left fans stunned as they announced their sudden split on June 21. In an emotional TikTok video, Tammy shared the heartbreaking news, fighting back tears as she admitted, “I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am going to be getting a divorce.”
The 31-year-old influencer, who has long been open with fans about her personal journey, kept the details of the breakup private, saying she didn’t want to “bring anyone down.” Still, it was clear she was blindsided and heartbroken. “Did I think this was going to happen? Did I want this? No,” she said through tears. “Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it’s going to be forever. And I blame no one but myself, to be honest.”
Tammy, who shares 10-year-old Wolf and 8-year-old Saskia with her ex, Reece Hawkins, and 3-year-old Posy with ex-boyfriend Matt Poole, admitted the toughest part of the split was how it could impact her kids. She confessed she often puts on “rose-colored glasses” when it comes to relationships and feels like she gets swept up too easily. “I feel like I’ve made not the best choices when it comes to relationships,” she admitted.
Despite the pain, Tammy made it clear she’s choosing peace and putting her children first. “At the end of the day, I know this is what needs to happen,” she said. “There’s no other option.” She added that she plans to spend more time focusing on her little ones and the positive things in her life moving forward.
Matt Zukowski, 29, also confirmed the breakup with a heartfelt Instagram Story posted the same day. “It’s with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,” he wrote. “Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however, we need to do what is right for ourselves and her 3 children.”
The pair’s whirlwind romance began in 2023, and after only three months of dating, Matt popped the question. Their wedding, held just months later, seemed like a fairy tale, until now. Matt added in his statement, “This wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten.”
While fans are still reeling from the news, both Tammy and Matt seem to be handling the separation with grace and respect. With her history of resilience and transparency, Tammy is sure to continue inspiring her followers through this tough chapter.
