Tammy Hembrow’s ex Matt Zukowski slips up and says it’s time to ‘date’ again – before quickly back tracking

During her lavish family vacation abroad, Tammy Hembrow left Australia behind, while it seems that her ex-partner Matt Zukowski is moving on and opening up to a potential new romance after their separation.

Onlookers expressed surprise when they saw the previous Love Island celebrity, aged 29, express his readiness to go on dates only a week following their announcement of separation.

Shortly after, in an Instagram post on Tuesday, he rectified his previous statement, explaining that he was actually open to dating himself.

The debacle kicked off when he first shared a video of himself eating wings at a restaurant alone.

On a chilly day, Matt wrapped up warmly and donned his headphones, savoring a plate of chicken and a cup of cola.

He wrote in the caption: ‘Time to date and find myself again.’ 

The post swiftly caught the attention of Outspoken The Podcast, who reposted it on their platform, expressing doubts about whether Matt had indeed returned to the dating scene.

‘Matt Zukowski has revealed it’s “time to date and find myself again”,’ their caption read.

‘Do we think it’s worded poorly and he means “date himself” or is he signalling his DMs are open?’ 

A short while after, Matt made an adjusted upload of his video, modifying the title due to him correcting his earlier statement.

‘Time to date MYSELF and find MYSELF AGAIN,’ he then wrote.   

After Tammy, age 31, disclosed that her heart continues to feel pain post her separation from her husband Matt, she takes time for healing in New Zealand.

Tammy and her kids – aged nine (Wolf), seven (Saskia), and three (Posy) – left Australia following the revelation of their family’s split.

On Tuesday earlier today, she posted a collection of photos showcasing her weight loss following the breakup, while enjoying a peaceful stay at the charming Lake Hayes Cottages in Queenstown.

She posted, ‘My most stunning vacation at @qtcottages,’ as she stood before a personal hot tub in her $995-a-night lakefront cottage.

Enjoying a serene retreat amidst breathtaking scenery. There are times that cause pain, but healing doesn’t always follow a straight path. I’m incredibly thankful to be sharing this experience with my little ones.

In the images, it’s clear that Tammy was holding a warm drink while standing near a heated tub, striking a pose amidst the stunning scenery of New Zealand.

For the past week, Tammy has primarily been recording and detailing her recent visit to New Zealand since her breakup with the ex-Love Island celebrity, Matt.

On a Monday, she posted some snapshots of her vacation in Queenstown and disclosed that they plan to make this destination a fresh family custom.

‘Something so cosy and comforting about this place,’ she wrote in her caption on Instagram.

‘I think we’re going to have to make this a yearly tradition. The start of something new.’

Matt and Tammy are on the verge of a divorce following only seven months of wedlock, as the social media star departs towards New Zealand’s South Island for healing and relaxation after their separation.

Even though she’s feeling sad, Tammy has immersed herself in caring for her kids during this lovely vacation they are sharing together.

On Saturday, she shared a collection of photos and videos displaying her and her trio enjoying life in the vibrant town of Queenstown.

The family of four was eagerly embracing the holiday mood ahead of schedule, enjoying a playful Christmas celebration in the middle of summer.

Tammy labeled her delightful photos as ‘A touch of Christmas in July, since everyone enjoys a bit of winter holiday enchantment!’

‘When I tell you my soul NEEDED thissss. Forever my favourite holiday.

A gentle nudge to remember warmth, cherish family, appreciate the enchantment of slow living, and discover happiness hidden in small moments. The first cozy night in New Zealand with my little ones!!!

Tammy announced her shock split from Matt last month in an emotional video.

Previously famous television personality disclosed their split on a thoughtful Instagram post, explaining to followers that this difficult choice wasn’t made impulsively.

‘It’s with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,’ Matt began.

We’ve both found it challenging to decide on this matter, but it seems essential that we prioritize our own well-being as well as the best interests of her three kids.

He emphasized that the decision wasn’t made casually; rather, it was given careful thought. The time shared will forever hold special significance and will remain etched in our memories. Lastly, he expressed his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support.

Regardless of the brief duration of their marriage, both individuals are seeking solitude as they navigate their lives after the separation.

Matt ended his heartfelt message by expressing gratitude for everyone’s backing and understanding during this difficult period of transition.
