I know we’re all sick to death of our fave celeb relos coming to an end this year so I was THRILLED to see a new power couple emerge last night. 

There have been some juicy rumours floating around about Tammy Hembrow’s new romance with Love Island’s Matt Zukowski, and the pair have just gone ahead and made it Insta-official. 

I’m not afraid to admit that I screamed when Matt shared a mirror selfie with Tammy, kissing her forehead while getting glammed up for Stan’s premiere of C*A*U*G*H*T. They also posed for a few photos on the red carpet and tbh, they look incred together. 

It’s kinda weird that Tammy’s new boyfriend has the same name as her ex-fiancé Matt Poole, but I’ll overlook that to get my next fix of celebrity romance.

While there aren’t any grid photos yet, the couple seem to be getting serious. The Love Island star revealed he was “falling in love” with Tammy during his Where’s Your Head At podcast show last week. 

Tammy’s half-sister Starlette Thynne jokingly asked the podcast host if he considers himself “in love with a girl with a bob and three children”, and his answer was straight to the point.

“I am,” he said. “Is she [Tammy] in the room right now? Does she want to stand up?”. And while she didn’t stand up – I’m guessing she wasn’t ready to go public just yet – she seemed pretty enamoured with her new boyfriend in a video from the event. 

When did Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski get together? 

Footage of Tammy and Matt cuddling and sharing a cheeky kiss emerged on September 21, thanks to gossip social media account Influencer Updates AU.

The reaction from fans was mixed, with some wondering if their relationship was a PR stunt, but others were pleased for the single mum of three. 

“I am SO happy for them. It’s a pairing I never would have thought of but it works so well. Look how happy they are,” one person commented.

“I love this though. I love this so much! Good on them I hope it works out,” another added.

“This is kind of cute, it looks like he’s trying to make her aware of the cameras/paps and they kiss anyway. Wholesome,” a third chimed in.  

Why did Tammy Hembrow and Matt Poole break up? 

Tammy was previously engaged to Matt Poole, but their relationship seemed to come to an end in September 2022. Fans noticed that Matt started to disappear from Tammy’s social media, plus Tammy’s giant engagement ring went missing.

In March 2023, Tammy finally shared the reason behind her split with Matt, replying to a fan on TikTok. 

“Some people are just not meant to be together no matter how hard they try. We are much better as friends. Not that it’s anyone’s business,” she wrote. 

I’ll be keeping a close eye on Tammy and her new Matt’s socials so I can update you with any and all updates from the new couple!
