Are Tammy Hembrow and Bailey Smith Dating? Bailey Smith Sparks Romance Buzz with Tammy Hembrow
Let’s talk about one of those stories that’s equal parts juicy rumor, tabloid-fueled, and the stuff of very modern romance: Are influencer and fitness star Tammy Hembrow and AFL’s Bailey Smith a couple? If you scroll the headlines right now, you’ll find their names entwined in all sorts of speculation, but calling it official? Well, that’s a slightly trickier beast.
Neither Tammy nor Bailey has come right out and confirmed they’re dating. No glossy Instagram posts, no joint appearance at some awards gala walking in arm-in-arm, no “soft launch” selfie to seal the deal. The closest we’ve gotten is blurry paparazzi evidence and a whole lot of online chatter. Take it as you will sometimes; no news is just no news.
Amid swirling social media chatter, @PerthNow on Twitter highlighted AFL star Bailey Smith’s response after being seen getting close with fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow during a Gold Coast outing.
But as in all good modern mysteries, it only takes a couple of sightings to set the rumor mill spinning at full speed. Backstory: Tammy split from her husband Matt Zukowski in June 2025, by her own words, a painful and public affair. Just weeks, literal weeks later, she gets spotted with none other than Bailey Smith, star of Geelong in the AFL. Not at some hidden speakeasy either, but the very public, very Gold Coast-y Burleigh Pavilion. The cameras rolled, the headlines wrote themselves. Imagine going out for a steak and leaving with your personal life splashed all over the country.
Of course, when confronted by the media, Bailey’s response landed somewhere between bashful and annoyed. “What do you want me to say?” he shot back to a reporter, all Aussie candor and a sprinkle of expletives when someone botched Tammy’s surname.
Meanwhile, Tammy’s ex, Matt, opened up to the Herald Sun, sounding a bit shellshocked himself. “We only broke up eight weeks ago… I’m still trying to work out how I feel as a person after committing to marriage to someone.” Been there, mate. Anyone who’s had a break-up knows just how strange it feels to see your former partner move on at a pace you weren’t ready for.
One of their fans reacted on Twitter like: Amid the buzz, Kat (@katjaha) weighed in sharply, warning that if Bailey Smith gets involved with Tammy Hembrow, it could spell trouble for his career and joking he should be “dragged back by the ear.
