Tammy Hembrow and Bailey Smith have been the topic of every Brownlow Medal conversation since they debuted their relationship on Instagram last month.
Fans of the fitness influencer, 31, and AFL star, 24, alike have long speculated the unlikely pair would make their red carpet debut at the awards ceremony on Monday.
But it seems those rumours have been cut short, as reports suggest Bailey will be taking another date to AFL’s night-of-nights, reported Herald Sun on Thursday.
According to the publication, the Geelong midfielder will be taking a ‘regular mate’ to the annual event, rather than his glamorous new girlfriend.
The news comes after it was revealed this week Tammy’s budding romance with Bailey may be over before it could really begin.
Just weeks after the pair went Instagram official following a series of hot dates, the influencer and footballer are said to have ‘cooled’ in their affection for one another.

The social media star won’t be on Bailey’s arm at the Brownlow ceremony next week, according to a recent report.
‘She’s definitely not going with him,’ an insider claimed to the Herald Sun on Tuesday.
Instead, the Geelong star is said to be switching his focus to his career with the club after a slew of headlines involving his hookups with Hembrow.
It came as a shocking revelation after the pair appeared to have confirmed their relationship on Instagram in August.
Tammy and Bailey shared a photo from their Melbourne date, with the footy star resting his hand on her leg as they dined at ritzy restaurant Entrecôte in Prahran.
The Friday night outing confirmed what weeks of speculation had already suggested: the romance between the pair was heating up.
Tammy looked striking in a pink dress from the Australian label With Jéan.
Bailey shied away from the camera as the couple tucked into oysters, steak and a hearty serving of French fries.
But after rumours emerged Tammy had been dumped as Bailey’s Brownlow date, reports have now suggested he is taking a ‘regular mate’ to the awards ceremony instead
The Melbourne date followed weeks of sightings that kept fans and media guessing.
Last month, the pair were also spotted on the Gold Coast sharing kisses and walking arm-in-arm along the beach.
Their chemistry was evident, with the pair looking relaxed and unbothered by the cameras trailing them.
Tammy only split from husband Matt Zukowski in June.
Matt, 30, and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating.
They tied the knot almost a year later, in November 2024, but split rumours began to circulate earlier this year.
After just seven months of marriage, the pair announced in June they were divorcing.
