Tammy Hembrow has been inundated with “judgmental” comments after debuting her relationship with reality TV star Matt Zukowski.
The fitness influencer went public with the former Love Island Australia contestant in September, ending weeks of speculation from her millions of social media followers that the pair were dating.
A video shared by the mother-of-three this morning of herself and Zukowski heading to Derby Day, however, was flooded with sexist criticism – with multiple people writing “another one” in reaction to the footage.
“Came to the comments to make sure this was a dif (sic) guy. Confirmed,” a second wrote.
“The father of her next baby??” a third commented.
“LMAO always someone new, she really DGAF,” another said.
“How come all the men she breaks up with end up in long-term relationships while she can’t stay with 1 guy,” someone else declared.
Equally as many people, thankfully, rushed to Hembrow’s defence in the face of what one called “ruthless” commentary.
“Some of the women in these comments are not the vibe. Would you be happier if she stayed with someone so people don’t judge her. People! It’s 2023 and time to stop judging women like this,” one wrote.
“Live your best life Tammy and fck (sic) what people think!”
Another agreed: “People are so judgmental. Who cares if she has a new bf, would love to know how many bfs some of you have had. She is a normal person outside of social media.”
“Who cares if she has a new man every year?! Y’all are so judgmental towards here (sic). She’s young. Figuring it out. She can date whoever she wants,” a third said.
“If it doesn’t work pick another man. Y’all act like she’s suppose (sic) to hang on to a man because they have a baby. Life is short. She isn’t married. I love seeing her move on and not sad over the last guy.”
Hembrow confirmed her split from ex-fiance Matt Poole in December last year, just months after they welcomed daughter Posy.
“That’s just a part of my life I’m choosing not to share anymore,” she wrote on Instagram at the time, after fans plagued her social media accounts with questions over the nature of their relationship.
“And out of respect for everyone and for my kids I just don’t feel I need to give an explanation.”
The 29-year-old has two other children – son, Wolf, and another daughter, Saskia – with ex-partner Reece Hawkins. The two made headlines in 2018 when they called off their engagement after four years of dating.
While the Gold Coast influencer is yet to comment publicly on her new relationship, Zukowski told 9Entertainment last week that he’s “never been happier”.
“Everything’s looking good in my life, I’m keeping busy, keeping my mind busy so I’m very happy at the moment,” the 28-year-old said.
“I am very loved up. Yes, I’m very in love.”
In an earlier interview with the Back To Reality podcast, he also spoke candidly aboutbeing infertile – and how it’s affected his dating life.
“When I start seeing a girl, it’s one of the first things I tell them. My ex, I told her on the second date and said, ‘Hey, I can’t have kids’,” he said.
“In the end it was something that played a big factor in our relationship and our timelines.”
Zukowski added that he’s “not embarrassed by it. I’m not ashamed of it. This is the card I’ve been dealt for my life.”
Asked whether he’d found his “forever love” in Hembrow, Zukowski admitted: “I’d like to think I have.”
Without going into too much detail, you know when you find someone and you click with them and it’s just easy,” he said.
“It’s just easy and there’s that different feeling inside when you’re around each other. They match my goofy energy and who I am.”
