Tammy Hembrow announces divorce from Matt Zukowski following just seven months of marriage
Tammy Hembrow has confirmed she has filed for divorce from husband Matt Zukowski after just seven months of marriage.
Hembrow, 31, who has 17 million followers on Instagram, confirmed the news in a tearful clip to her followers at the weekend.
The couple became engaged in December, 2023 after just three months of dating.
They tied the knot in November last year at the upmarket Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay, in northern NSW.
But just months later, Hembrow ended months of speculation and confirmed the marriage was over.
'I don't want to get into the details and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' Hembrow told fans in the clip she published to her Instagram Stories.
'Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever and I blame no one but myself,' she added, struggling to talk through tears.
'I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I'm good at putting on rose-colored glasses.
'Obviously the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I will be ok but I feel awful.'
Hembrow has two children, son Wolf and daughter Saskia, with fellow influencer, Reece Hawkins.
She has a second daughter, Posy, with Gold Coast sports identify, Matt Poole.
Hembrow said she was in therapy amid the relationship breakdown.
'Therapy — life changing,' she said.
'I feel like there's been periods of my life where I've gone to therapy and I've never stuck with it.
'This whole experience has just made me feel like I still have a lot of growing to do. A lot of work to do but I'm giving myself grace and well I'm trying to … it's a bit hard right now.
'There's a lesson in everything and hopefully this time I learn it.'
Zukowski also shared his own statement confirming the relationship was over.
'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Zukowski began.
'Both of us have struggled with making this decision however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children.
'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten.'
Speculation has been rife the pair had ended their relationship.
Zukowski was noticeably absent from Hembrow's 31st birthday, Posy's birthday party, and the family's Easter weekend celebrations, just five months after tying-the-knot.
Previously, Hembrow had been engaged to Reece Hawkins.
The Gold Coast-based star has become a huge name in the online space, with numerous brand deals, which sees her promote products.
Hembrow regularly has her fortune estimated at $50 million.

‘Unlikely' Prince William will ever welcome Harry and Meghan's children Archie and Lilibet into royal fold
Any hope Prince Harry and Meghan had that their children might one day play an active role in the royal family appears to be fading fast after an insider revealed it's highly unlikely heir to the throne Prince William would ever agree. And it's not looking good for sidelined Prince Andrew, either. While US-based Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties in 2020's 'Megxit', they retained their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles and made sure children Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, officially held their HRH titles. On King Charles' ascension to the throne they became Prince and Princess, with Harry changing their surnames on their passports to Sussex — reportedly so he could leave the door open to them to make a royal return if they wanted to when they grew up. But sources close to William suggest it is unlikely Harry and Meghan's children will be welcomed as working members for the royal family under his reign. As the rift between Harry and William and the rest of the senior royals drags on, The Times reports the Prince of Wales is now 'indifferent' to the bitter feud with his brother. 'What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn't mention it at all. It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head; it was a very close relationship, and he was very upset,' an insider told The Sun . 'But he's not letting it get to him at all any more. It is a change. It's sad, but it's a much healthier space for him to be at.' The same source also suggested that a return to being a working royal for the Duke of York was doubtful. The disgraced Prince Andrew, 65, was stripped of his royal titles and roles by the late Queen Elizabeth in 2022 due to the allegations and links to Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual abuse on three occasions, including when she was 17 years old. As a royal outcast, Prince Andrew has always vehemently denied the accusations, although he later paid Ms Giuffre a reputed £12 ($AUD25 million) million settlement. It has been reported that Prince William views his uncle as too much of a 'risk' and 'threat' to The Firm. King Charles has also made it clear that attempts have been made to evict his younger brother from the 31-room Royal Lodge, despite their 75-year lease agreement. Prince William has reaffirmed his commitment to modernising the monarchy, revealing that he intends to approach his future role as King with what he calls a 'smaller 'r'' version of royalty, focused on empathy, impact, and community-driven change. The 43-year-old heir said he hopes to lead 'differently for (his) generations', in one of his most recent candid interviews to date. William emphasised a need for 'empathetic leaders' in today's world. He said he and his wife, Princess Catherine, are committed to causes that create meaningful, long-term change. 'I'm trying to do it differently,' he said. 'It's more about impact philanthropy, collaboration, convening, and helping people … I really care about what I do.' The prince also reflected on the personal challenges of the past year, calling 2024 'probably the worst year of my life' as he navigated the cancer battles faced by both his wife and father, King Charles. William, who also founded Homewards' initiative to combat homelessness and launched the Earthshot Prize to tackle environmental issues, said his focus was firmly on delivering real-world results. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Harry and Meghan are continuing to expand their business ventures. Meghan has launched her first alcoholic beverage — a rosé wine — under her American Riviera Orchard brand, which will go on sale on July 1. The Napa Valley vintage joins other lifestyle products, including limited-edition spreads and homewares. Meghan has also recently shared rare footage of Prince Harry playing with their two children in a touching Father's Day post — a move that drew both praise and criticism. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward told The Sun that while the video was 'charming,' it was 'hypocritical' given the couple's previous calls for privacy. Meghan made headlines following a recent podcast appearance on Aspire with entrepreneur Emma Grede, where she was asked if she would rewrite her public narrative. 'Yes,' she replied. 'I would ask people to tell the truth.' The comment has drawn commentary from royal watchers, with Royal Exclusive panellists questioning the sincerity of the remarks and describing the tone as lacking authenticity. Still, Meghan remained measured in her response, adding that advice from close friend Serena Williams helped her stay grounded. 'A lie can't live forever,' she said. 'Eight years is a long time, but not forever.'

Indy Clinton hires private investigator to complete dossier on trolls leaving hurtful comments on her social media
Indy Clinton has revealed she has hired a private investigator to get the private details of those people leaving hurtful or 'troll' comments on her popular social media accounts. The mother-of-three, who has 650,000 Instagram followers, confirmed the move via a video. 'How it feels receiving a 64-page report from my PI after an extensive three-month investigation on all my ladies (mothers) who have continuously bullied, defamed and trolled me and my family for months n months and even years,' she wrote. Clinton looked pleased with herself as she danced around in the clip, including completing a number of jubilant twirls. Clinton divided opinion with the move, being praised by some of Australia's biggest names. 'Think I might do this too. You are not anonymous trolls,' AFL WAG Rebecca Judd wrote. 'Queen sh*t,' Perth influencer, Em Davies, added. 'This. I found out who my troll was too - it was one of my clients. Blew my mind that most 'trolls' are people we know,' Felicity Morgan wrote. Trolling remains a grey area when it comes to the law. However, if the harassment passes the legal threshold for adult abuse, it can be reported to the eSafety commissioner. The harassment could also contravene existing defamation or harassment laws. Other followers were less sympathetic. 'So, you got a PI because people troll you. Yet, you're the one that puts up all the ridiculous things you do. Exploiting your children and husband then you complain because people make harsh comments. Yet, it's never affected you enough to stop posting. You just found a new angle to get attention,' one person wrote. 'Have fun with that. Trolling isn't illegal,' another wrote. 'Your weird,' another added. Clinton spoke to The Daily Telegraph about her decision to hire a private investigator. 'Some of the defamatory things which have been said about me in recent years are extremely distressing,' Clinton began. 'I will use my platform and my voice to not only spread awareness but to make an impact.' Clinton then spoke about the toll trolling has taken on her. 'Lives are being taken,' she said. 'For me - a few months ago - what I endured was life or death.'
