Tammy Hembrow GHOSTS firefighter following mid-air encounter: ‘All was good until Bailey came along!’

by

A firefighter and powerlifter from Adelaide says Tammy Hembrow stopped contacting him after they met on a flight.

Max Blanck met Tammy while traveling to Queensland for a competition.

Max confessed he didn’t recognize the influencer, but explained that Tammy’s kindness led him to start a conversation with her.

‘It was just a good mother thing that stole my attention,’ Max said. 

I didn’t recognize the woman. A food truck arrived, and she picked up her sandwich. My kids and I had already eaten before boarding the plane.

My youngest child was hungry, and I was stuck because our van was gone – I had no way to get food.

Max went on to explain that Tammy unexpectedly stood up. He initially assumed she was going to the restroom, but she returned with an extra sandwich and offered it to his youngest child.

After I said thank you, I suddenly felt like I should introduce myself, and we ended up talking for the entire flight.

Max and this person seemed to connect quickly, even swapping numbers and making plans to see each other again, but then someone else became interested as well.

He said she shared her phone number with him, and they had planned to meet for coffee and for her to show his children around the Gold Coast.

‘Everything was good, and then abruptly just stopped and next thing you know there’s Bailey Smith.’

As a lifestyle expert, I definitely remember all the buzz earlier this year about Bailey and Tammy! They really captured everyone’s attention when rumors started flying about them dating. It was all over the news and social media, and people were obsessed with figuring out if they were actually a couple. It was a pretty big moment!

Max explained in a post that he spent days convincing his friends he was telling the truth about meeting Tammy.

He was surprised when he told his coworkers about a woman he’d recently met, and they immediately asked to see a picture to confirm it was her. He spent the next few days feeling like he needed to prove he was telling the truth, but thankfully, he was able to.

I’m mostly upset that my children were excited to see her again. Personally, I’m just a regular guy from a small town, so it doesn’t bother me much.

Max shared screenshots from social media to prove he really did meet up with Tammy, after someone questioned whether the meeting actually happened.

‘Tammy did not give you her number,’ one disbeliever wrote with a crying laughing face emoji.

He then shared a screenshot of his phone contacts which did, indeed, include Tammy.

Commenting on the post, Max admitted that his story might seem a tad far-fetched.

You know, I always say, don’t apologize for your initial thoughts – we all jump to conclusions sometimes! In this case, I totally get why someone might have thought what they did. It was pure chance that this woman ended up sitting next to me and my daughter on the plane. I really only got to know her after she did something incredibly kind for my little one – that’s when I felt comfortable enough to introduce myself. It just goes to show, a small act of kindness can really open doors!

Daily Mail has reached out to Max Blanck for comment.   

This news follows Bailey, Tammy’s ex-partner, publicly sharing his current relationship status with the reality star – and it’s not the official announcement fans anticipated.

In December, the Australian Rules Football player shared on Instagram that he and his fitness influencer partner are now officially dating. They’re collaborating with Tinder to promote the dating app around what’s expected to be a very popular day for finding love.

The announcement was followed by a very cringeworthy video which was mercilessly mocked by fans.

In the preview, Bailey acts as a dating coach, giving Tammy advice on how to start conversations with people on dating apps.

Okay, so I saw this ad and then I checked Simone Anderson’s comment – it was pretty clear she wasn’t impressed! She just wrote ‘Fab ad’ but followed it with a ton of laughing-crying emojis. It was definitely a sarcastic comment, let me tell you!

Another follower replied to Simone’s cheeky comment with: ‘Stop lying.’

One fan bluntly commented that the photo looked awkward, and another said it had to be a joke.

Another follower went one further, claiming the ad was the worst thing they had ever witnessed.

One person called it the worst thing they’d ever witnessed, and another added that, unbelievably, the person responsible was still highly paid.
