On Saturday, June 21, the Australian model and fitness influencer, 31, confirmed their split in a TikTok video, speaking candidly about her 'heartbreak' over their decision to divorce. She and Love Island Australia star Zukowski, 29, got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating. They then tied the knot on Nov. 23, 2024, per Daily Mail and the Australian outlet 'This is giving me so much anxiety … I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am going to be getting a divorce,' said Hembrow on TikTok. She then clarified that she didn't want to go into details about the split or 'bring anyone down." 'Did I think this was gonna happen? Did I want this? No. Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it's gonna be forever,' she continued tearfully. 'And I blame no one but myself, to be honest." "I feel like I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. And I feel like I'm really good at putting on rose-colored glasses or just getting swept up in it all," she added. Hembrow previously told Vogue Australia that she and Zukowski had 'an instant connection' after meeting online. 'From the very first conversation, there was something that sparked between us,' she told the outlet. 'We were inseparable from that very first date!' Hembrow has three children: son Wolf, 10, and daughter Saskia, eight, shared with her ex Reece Hawkins and three–year–old daughter Posy, shared with her former partner Matt Poole. In Saturday's TikTok video, Hembrow became increasingly emotional as she described the effect of her split from Zukowski on her children as 'the worst part.' 'I don't care about me, like, I know I'll be okay, but I obviously feel awful,' she said. "...Nothing anyone could say could make me feel more s--- than I already do, like more humiliated … At the end of the day, I know this is what needs to happen, there's no other option.' Hembrow said she is focusing on her kids and 'healing' amid the divorce. 'There's been times where I felt that I've grown so much and then this whole experience has just made me feel like I still have a lot of growing to do a lot of a lot of work to do,' she said. '..There's a lesson and everything and hopefully this time I learn it.'

Teen charged with murder in Riviera shooting of man, 18
RIVIERA BEACH — Riviera Beach police arrested a boy Friday they believe fatally shot an 18-year-old Lake Worth Beach man who recently graduated from high school near the top of his class and whom his family said had dreams of being a firefighter. City police are charging the juvenile, whom officers are not naming, with second-degree murder in the killing of Elias Timothy Morrero, the Riviera Beach Police Department said Saturday in a news release. He is also being charged with being a minor possessing a firearm and using a firearm for a felony. The alleged killer was booked Friday, June 20, police said, and is now being held in the Juvenile Assessment Center. City police responded Thursday, June 19, to a report of a shooting in the 2800 block of Avenue S. There they found Morrero, who had stopped his car near 28th Street and Avenue S and exited the vehicle clutching his neck from a gunshot injury. Paramedics took Morrero to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, where he died. Morrero's family has set up an online fundraiser on GoFundMe for his funeral, titled "Forever 18: Remembering Elias Our Brightest Light." His family is hoping to raise $20,000. They were more than halfway to that total Saturday afternoon thanks to nearly 200 donors. Morrero had graduated from high school in May with honors, the fundraiser web page says. He was also captain of his Fire Academy class, the training program required in Florida for aspiring firefighters. And he was a big brother to five younger siblings — Elianna, Elissia, Everly, Elijah and Ezariah, the family said. Funeral arrangements will be announced by Tillman Funeral Home & Crematory.
