Tammy Hembrow’s romance with AFL star Bailey Smith may be over before it really began.
Just weeks after the pair went Instagram official after a series of hot dates, the influencer, 31, and the footballer, 24, 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 new 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.
Just weeks ago, it was reported that Tammy was gearing up for a jaw-dropping appearance at this year’s Brownlow Medal, that she hoped would rival Bec Judd’s unforgettable red dress moment from 2004.

The fitness mogul was said to be in talks with high-profile designers to secure a show-stopping gown for footy’s night of nights on September 22 at Crown in Melbourne.
‘Tammy is smart, she knows what she’s doing,’ a source told The Herald Sun, suggesting her potential appearance was nothing short of a calculated power move.
But now it seems those dreams may well have been dashed, with Hembrow no longer expected to attend at all.
Daily Mail has reached out to Tammy Hembrow for comment.
On the weekend, Tammy hinted that she’s struggling emotionally in a moving TikTok post.
The influencer shared a video this past weekend in which she admitted that she filmed a clip in which she was having a ‘crash out’ but opted not to post it.
‘I had a bit of a crash out the other day. I started filming a full crash out video I was gonna post on TikTok,’ she said.
‘But I could not get through it without crying – and there is no way that I will post myself crying on any app ever again because I’m just going to get made fun of.
‘You can’t be vulnerable online cause people just make fun of you.’

Tammy said she was now focussing on herself and her children and ‘not giving any attention’ to anyone else.
‘Never ever, ever make someone make you feel like you’re not good enough. Trust me, you are,’ she said, becoming tearful.
Tammy added that overall, she was doing well.
‘Other than that, I’ve been really good. I’ve mentioned before how much lighter I feel, how I feel so much more like me,’ she said.
It comes less than two weeks after Tammy and Bailey went Instagram official.
The Geelong midfielder and the Instagram star shared a tender moment from their Melbourne date night last month.

The Melbourne date followed weeks of sightings that kept fans and media guessing.
Last month, Smith and Hembrow were 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.
It was the second time in as many weeks they had been seen out together, adding fuel to rumours their connection was quickly becoming something more serious.
Hembrow has been in Melbourne on work commitments, including attending a Sasha Therese event, and told reporters during the week that Smith was a ‘sweetie’ and ‘a good guy.’
Tammy 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.
In June, the pair announced they were divorcing after seven months of marriage.
Matt has since said he felt ‘hurt’ watching Tammy move on so quickly after their break-up.
He has hinted he was the one to end things between them, despite some speculating it was Tammy who took the lead.
