Matt Zukowski is back on the dating scene – and it’s not going well.
The Love Island Australia star, 30, who split from Tammy Hembrow in June after just seven months of marriage, shared an unfortunate encounter on Tuesday.
In a video posted on TikTok, Matt sat in a car smiling at the camera, adding the caption, ‘Message her bro, she’s into you.’
He then showed his messenger screen where he had approached a woman with a simple, ‘Hello!’
The unnamed woman replied curtly, ‘Goodbye!’
In his caption alongside the video, Matt added: ‘Yeah, sums it up to be honest.’

The reality star last year revealed how much he has changed in the wake of his breakup with social media star Tammy, 31.
Speaking with his Where’s Your Head At? podcast co-host Anna McEvoy, Matt admitted to being in a much better place mentally than he was a year ago.
The revelation came after Anna asked Matt the simple question: ‘Are you okay?’ ahead of R U OK? Day.
Responding, Matt admitted to being a completely different person.
‘Yes, I would like to say that I actually am okay,’ he said.
‘A lot of people around me have noticed how much I have changed. We were listening to old episodes from a year ago and, listening to myself… I was dead inside.
‘I’m completely different now. I can be myself again.’
Anna agreed with Matt’s self-assessment, saying that he seemed ‘lighter’ recently.

He then recalled a story that helped illustrate his point.
‘I drove past a shop the other day and I was like, “When was the last time I went in there?”” he said.
‘I recalled it in my head because I remember making a phone call in there and I remember what I was talking to my mate about.’
He continued: ‘I was like f*** that was a year ago to the date. How polar opposite – who I was on that phone call to who I was driving past that shop are two different people.’

They tied the knot almost a year later, in November 2024, but split rumours began to circulate last year.
In June, the pair announced they were divorcing after seven months of marriage.
Tammy later moved on with AFL star Bailey Smith.
Matt has since said he felt ‘hurt’ watching Tammy move on so quickly after their break-up, and has hinted he was the one to end things between them, despite some speculating it was Tammy who took the lead.
