Matt responded: 'You don't know her...'
Tammy and Matt confirmed their split on Sunday after just seven months of marriage.
The Love Island Australia star announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly.
'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt 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,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy.
Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup.
'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post.
Tammy later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video, telling fans she will be getting a divorce.
'I don't want to get into the details and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' she told fans.
'Obviously when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever and I blame no one but myself,' Tammy continued while breaking down in 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.'
The news came less than 24 hours after Matt was spotted spending time with sports journalist Tayla Little at the London Tavern in Melbourne on Saturday night.
Matt and Tammy sparked speculation surrounding the state of their whirlwind romance in recent weeks, with many fans convinced the pair had quietly split.
Tammy, 31, first sparked concern in March after she was spotted crying in a bathroom, while Matt was later overheard allegedly ' talking crap' about his wife at a South Melbourne gym.
In the weeks that followed, Matt quietly moved out of the couple's Queensland home and relocated back to Melbourne, where he resumed working for his father's pool business.
While Matt continued to co-host his podcast Where's Your Head At? with ex-girlfriend and fellow Love Island alum Anna McEvoy, Tammy was noticeably absent from his social media.
Meanwhile, the Gold Coast-based influencer has remained in Queensland with her three children - son Wolf, nine, daughter Saskia, seven, and toddler Posy, three - from previous relationships.
Matt was notably missing from several major family events over the past two months, including Tammy's 31st birthday, Posy's fairy-themed third birthday party, and even Easter weekend.
Despite exchanging vows in a glamorous Byron Bay ceremony just under a year ago and getting matching tattoos to mark their love, fans quickly noticed Matt had been erased from most of Tammy's social media - save for a few lingering images from their Vogue Australia wedding spread.
She even hinted at emotional distress in a tearful video posted to Instagram earlier this month.
'I definitely don't like to pretend I am okay when I am not,' she said at the time, appearing without her wedding or engagement rings. 'I just feel like pretending is doing me more harm than good.'
The video was followed by a series of cryptic TikToks and Instagram posts, including one captioned, 'when something feels off it is usually women's intuition.'
Last week, Tammy teased a possible new career pivot amid the drama - telling fans she was considering launching a podcast as a form of therapy.
'I'm thinking of starting a podcast guys, because I feel like I have a lot to say. So would you listen if I did? Just food for thought,' she wrote on Instagram.
Her post further fuelled speculation that a tell-all could be coming, especially given the mounting curiosity around her now-confirmed split from Matt.
Tammy and Matt tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay on November 23.
They got engaged in December 2023 following just three months of dating.
The jet-setting pair were engaged in the Maldives, before heading off to Greece and Bali for luxury holidays.
Tammy has been engaged twice before, the first time to influencer Reece Hawkins, who she shares her son Wolf and daughter Saskia with.

Ioan Gruffudd's wife Bianca Wallace reveals brutal reality of her pregnancy after his ex-Alice Evans shares reaction to their baby news: 'Some kind of torture'
's wife, Bianca Wallace, has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey. The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester. 'Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,' she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense morning sickness and physical pain. In one confronting clip, Bianca is seen lying in bed with a heat pack, grimacing in pain as she describes how constant vomiting left her bedridden and unable to sleep. She revealed she vomited so violently she threw her back out for four days, and shared a snap of herself looking pale and drained after throwing up 67 times in one day.

The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester In another photo, she is seen clutching a bowl of cornflakes - one of the only foods she could stomach for weeks. The post was both a personal confession and a public service announcement. She reassured others who may be experiencing similarly rough pregnancies, writing: 'You're not crazy! More often than not it isn't just nausea and "morning sickness". It IS sh*t and rough and f**ked and it IS ok to be honest about it!' Her pregnancy update comes just over a week after Bianca and Ioan announced they were expecting their first child together, posting a sweet black-and-white image of the actor kissing his wife's baby bump. 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' they captioned the snap, which was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends. But while the couple's news delighted many, it appeared to trigger a scathing response from Ioan's ex-wife Alice Evans, 55, who shared her own cryptic post following the announcement. Without naming the couple, Alice wrote: 'Some people like to go low. I can't. Not because I'm better. But because I have kids. This s**t is some kind of torture.' The post sparked speculation among fans that it was a veiled dig at her ex and his new wife, reigniting tensions from the pair's bitter public split. Ioan and Alice finalised their divorce in July 2023 but remain locked in a fiery legal battle over spousal and child support for their two daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11. Court documents have detailed years of alleged abuse, online harassment, and restraining orders. Bianca was previously granted a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, with Ioan claiming his ex had embarked on a 'smear campaign' against them. Despite the drama, Ioan and Bianca have pressed on with their life together, sharing footage in April of their low-key wedding ceremony with the caption: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.' Ioan, who currently stars in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which has grossed over $400 million globally, has denied Alice's claims that she and their children have been left destitute, saying he's paid over $400,000 more than required under their prenup. Meanwhile, Alice recently revealed she had been evicted from her Los Angeles home, later launching a GoFundMe campaign to help her find housing. 'Thanks to all of you, my girls and I and Emma [the family dog] have a roof over our heads,' she said in a recent update, thanking supporters for their donations. While Ioan and Bianca continue to navigate the highs and lows of pregnancy – and public scrutiny – the couple appear focused on their growing family, with Bianca finishing her post on a lighter note, sharing that her dog Bubba has become her 'protector' through it all. 'This week… Bubba's still taking his protector job very seriously,' she wrote, sharing an adorable image of the pup curled up next to her baby bump.

Twisties announce new flavour across Australia - and it's VERY controversial: 'Absolutely not'
Two iconic Aussie food brands have unexpectedly collaborated on an unusual new snack. Twisties have teamed up with ice block brand Zooper Dooper to create a unique food mash-up. From this week, shoppers will be able to get their hands on packs of limited-edition Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss. The new flavour variety sees the classic Twisties revamped as a crunchy and candy-coloured snack. The snack food is described as combining the 'nostalgic sweet flavour of Zooper Dooper's Fairy Floss with the iconic Twisties crunch'. The result is a 'a taste explosion that's weird [and] wonderful,' according to the product description. A Twisties brand spokesperson confirmed the 'surprise' collaboration, adding that it blended two beloved Aussie food flavours in an 'unexpected way'. Simon Odisho, who is Brand Manager at PepsiCo said: 'Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss is the ultimate Aussie creation!' 'It's a flavour that is reminiscent of our childhoods in the most unexpected way possible.' 'We love to surprise our fans with flavours that are as bold as they are surprising, and what better way to launch a flavour this exciting than with a little fun of our own?' Zooper Dooper Brand Manager Georgia Fink agreed, adding that that the new flavour mash-up is 'bold, unexpected and unmistakably Aussie'. 'Teaming up with Twisties has created something truly unique that we know will transport our fans straight back to their childhood with just one bite!' But, there is (naturally!) a twist for the official launch of the exciting new snack, which arrives in IGA stores from Monday 23 June. For Monday 23 June only, Sydney-siders can make their way down to Romeo's IGA in Eveleigh to pick-up a free packet of the new Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss flavour. The catch? To get the free snack, they'll have to visit the store between 10am-3pm and 'Pay by Floss' - meaning, they have to show off their best flossing dance moves in exchange for a free packet of Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss. The one-day-only promotion was launched in collaboration with Gen Z TikTok dancer, Zac Jeremiah. Zac shared a punchy 15-second video to promote the campaign, which depicts him insisting that 'there's no way I'd dance for a new free Twisties Flavour', but then cuts to him alongside the Twisties mascot, demonstrating their best flossing moves. The Twisties Zooper Dooper Fairy Floss will be exclusively on shelf in IGA stores from the week commencing Monday 23 June, and will then roll out nationally on 30 July. However, it seems that some fans of the classic Twisties varieties are unimpressed by the new collaboration. Aussie foodie Russ Stuart, who posts food reviews to his popular social media channels taste tested the new flavour and scored it a lacklustre '4 out of 10'. A TikTok video posted to the @ account has notched up nearly 100K views and sees Russ tasting the new Twisties flavour, which he concedes does smell like a Fairy Floss flavoured Zooper Dooper. But the foodie's final verdict is that the limited edition snack tasted like 'jam on a Corn Thins without any butter'. The foodie's comments did not deter some excited shoppers, with one Instagram follower demanding to know where to 'find them' in stores. Meanwhile, other Twisties fans took to the comments section of Russ' video to suggest alternative Twisties flavours they wished the brand would launch. Among the suggestions were flavours like salt & vinegar, vegemite, BBQ, and beef.

Kellie Finlayson has given a heartbreaking insight into her terminal cancer battle in her new book. The brave mum, who is married to Port Adelaide star Jeremy Finlayson, is battling stage four bowel and lung cancer and has undergone thoracic surgery in recent months. She was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and revealed in 2022 that the illness had spread to her lungs. Kellie has now opened up about her cancer diagnosis in her new book There Must Be More: Finding Purpose In The Face Of The Unimaginable. She discusses how one time she 'didn't want to wake up' and 'asked the nurses to turn off the machines'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I talk about the days I didn't want to wake up and a time I asked nurses to turn off he machines. There are emotions there Jeremy didn't even know I had,' Kellie told Woman's Day. 'It was a very naked feeling when it was released but it's also the best thing I've ever done. People can understand where I've been.' The inspiring mum previously said she was 'so incredibly proud to share this piece with me and the world, and was still so confused every day as to why my story is worthy of being literally printed in a book.' 'Imposter syndrome is screaming, but deep down, I know this is bigger than me. 'This is for those who have faced devastation, for those who feel alone, for those who no longer have a voice to share their story. 'For those who are stuck for words, for those who feel helpless. 'I feel like I've lived a dozen lives, and somehow, beyond motherhood, becoming an author might just be the most surreal one yet. 'This is hope. This is me - the rawest version of me.' In March, Finlayson revealed she had undergone a VATS procedure to remove a piece of tissue from her lungs. VATS stands for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery, which is a form of keyhole surgery. Pictured Kellie and Jeremy with their daughter In March, Finlayson revealed she had undergone a VATS procedure to remove a piece of tissue from her lungs. VATS stands for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery, which is a form of keyhole surgery. She revealed that doctors had removed metastatic tissue from her lungs. Metastatic tissue occurs when cancer cells spread from a primary tumour to other areas in the body to form new tumours. The young mum published a clip of herself lying in a hospital bed, writing: 'Me a week ago'. In the next frame, Finlayson looked bright and well, sharing a brief clip of two scars on the left side of her rib cage following the surgery. 'Just over a week ago I was having a VATS wedge resection on my right lung to remove Mets and send off tissue to pathology in hope for more answers/better treatment plans,' Kellie captioned the video. 'I've had soooo many people checking in to see how I'm doing, thank you!!! 'And honestly, I'm so fine. Which I know is incredible given the major surgery I've just undergone and I know not everyone is as lucky. But hey, I'll take the wins when I can get them in this never-ending experience.'
