'There's no other option.' Tammy Hembrow confirms she's divorcing Matt Zukowski after 7 months.

Following months of speculation from internet sleuths and fans alike, Tammy Hembrow has officially confirmed her divorce from Matt Zukowski. In November 2024, Hembrow married the former Love Islander following a whirlwind romance.

The couple got engaged in the Maldives in November 2023, after dating long-distance for just eight weeks. 

Despite exchanging matching tattoos and loved-up vows in a Byron Bay ceremony just seven months ago, Zukowski had been MIA on Tammy's social media for months. 

Now, Hembrow has confirmed the news in a tearful and heartfelt video.

Watch the couple's proposal here. Post continues below.

"I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am going to be getting a divorce," Hembrow said in a TikTok video.

"I don't want to get into details, and I'm not one to try and bring anyone down. I just want to be sensitive to everyone involved," she continued.

"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's going to be forever."

When it came to the relationship ending, Hembrow took accountability for her own choices when it came to her romantic partners.

"I blame no one but myself to be honest," she said. "I feel like I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships and I feel like I am really good at putting on rose-coloured glasses."

Following an onslaught of hate comments leading up to the divorce announcement, Hembrow claimed that they had little affect on her — given her own negative feelings about her current situation.

"Nothing anyone can say can make me feel like more s*** than I already do. More humiliated. I already think that about myself right now," she added.

She finished the video by acknowledging that the split was "what need[ed] to happen."

"At the end of the day, I know this is what needs to happen. There's no other option."

Earlier this month, Hembrow broke down on her Instagram Story in front of her 17 million Instagram followers, and many saw it as a divorce soft launch. 

Choking back tears, Hembrow thanked her followers for their support and said, "I've just been dealing with some heavy stuff and I feel like people can tell. Like, I definitely don't like to, like, pretend I'm okay when I'm not. And I feel like I have been trying to do that for a little while because, you know, I have so much that I have to focus on, but I just feel like it's doing me more harm than good." 

Hembrow went on to say that she doesn't like talking about her struggles when she's in the midst of them because it's overwhelming and adds pressure. The 31-year-old conceded that she would talk to her audience about what was going on at some point, but not then.

Unfortunately for Hembrow, public breakups are familiar territory. Her engagement to Zukowski was the third her audience has parasocially celebrated with her.

Listen: Tammy's built an empire — and her brand is a big part of it. We spoke to her about how she does it on Mamamia's No Filter podcast. Post continues below.

First, there was Reece Hawkins. At 19, the couple fell pregnant with their first child, Wolf, after dating for a month. 18 months later, they welcomed their second child, Saskia. That same year, they got engaged and broke up.

Then there was Matt Poole. The couple met in Bali just before the pandemic hit. They dated for a year before Poole got down on one knee. Two weeks later, they announced they were expecting their first child together, but broke up before she was born.

Now, Hembrow has shared the breakdown of her marriage to Zukowski with her 20 million followers. But, as she mentioned, they'd seen it coming — with fans speculating an announcement was coming as they collected clues.

The biggest clue was the couple's location. They'd both made it clear via their Instagram Stories that they were living in separate states.

While Hembrow remained on the Gold Coast, Zukowski confirmed on his podcast that he had returned home to Melbourne to work at his father's pool company.

The couple not only celebrated Easter in their respective home states, but Zukowski was nowhere to be seen on Hembrow's 31st birthday. 

The fitness influencer made no effort to hide her husband's absence, as she publicly thanked her female friends for spoiling her. Hembrow shared a photo of flowers on her Instagram Story and wrote, "Grateful for the girlies in my life making me feel so special today. Thank you for all of the birthday love." 

It was later made known that Zukowski instead celebrated his podcast co-host Anna McEvoy's birthday at the Conservatory Crown in Melbourne. Awkwardly, McEvoy's birthday is the day before Hembrow's.

Two weeks later, Zukowski was again missing from his stepson Wolf's birthday celebrations. 

In March, Hembrow unfollowed her husband and removed the title 'Mrs Zukowski' from her Instagram bio.

It was not the first time the influencers had unfollowed each other. Leading up to their wedding, it happened countless times.

While Hembrow did eventually refollow Zukowski and reinstate her title as Matt's wife, her best friend and maid of honour, Isabelle Laws, wasn't as forgiving. She unfollowed the Love Islander in May. 

Zukowski last appeared on Hembrow's socials on the 15th of April.

She shared a video of the couple hugging while her youngest daughter, Posey, looked on and eventually joined them with the caption, "A family where my kids see how much he loves their mum."

Since then, he was nowhere to be seen. 

While Hembrow kept tight-lipped on what was going on with her husband for months, she had been dropping cryptic clues via her playlist. She shared Taylor Swift's break-up song 'Getaway Car' had been on replay in her head, plus mimed along to Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' on TikTok.
