Matt Zukowski is finally speaking out on life after .

One year after their split, the former star has candidly revealed the one thing he misses most about his marriage to the 32-year-old fitness influencer.

Speaking on Daily Mail's brand new podcast The Debrief with Savanna Young, Matt, 31, opened up about heartbreak, life post-divorce and the surprising part of their relationship he still longs for.

The ex-reality TV star said he found it especially difficult to walk away from Tammy's three children, who he had been a stepfather to for the short time they were married.

Tammy shares two kids – son Wolf, 11, and daughter Saskia, nine – with ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins, and one daughter, three, with ex-fiancé Matt Poole.

'Of course I do,' he replied when asked if he misses Tammy's kids.

'That was one of the hardest things about leaving. I would cry like once a day about that for like, three or four months after [the divorce],' he said.

'I wrote them that many letters just explaining stuff. But I never sent any of them. That was part of my healing I did in therapy.

'I just never sent them, because I don't know what they're being told. So it wouldn't be fair to them.'

Matt added that he would love to see Tammy's kids again.

'But like I said, I don't know what they've been told,' he continued.  

'And if I'm the bad guy. I'm happy with that. If that makes them, you know, okay with it and get over it.'

Matt has previously revealed that he is unable to have biological children of his own.
