After months of speculation, fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow has broken down in tears while sharing an update on her marriage.

Fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow has broken down in tears while announcing her split from Matt Zukowski after fewer than eight months of marriage.

Ms Hembrow, 31, took to social media, where she shared that although it was giving her “so much anxiety” to announce it, their marriage was over.

“I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am getting a divorce,” she said.

Ms Hembrow stressed that she didn’t want to get into the details, and wanted to be sensitive to everyone involved.

“Did I think this was going to happen? No. Did I want this? No. Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking … um, that it is going to be forever,” she said.

“I blame no one but myself.”

Ms Hembrow had to pause multiple times to collect herself, explaining that she doesn’t think she’s always made the “best choices” in her romantic life.

“When it comes to relationships. I’m really good at putting on rose-coloured glasses or just getting swept up in it all,” she said.

“Obviously, the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don’t care about me, I know I’ll be okay. I feel awful.”

Ms Hembrow continued to cry as she said she just wanted to focus on her kids, healing, and all the good things in her life.

She also acknowledged that there had already been some cruel commentary online about her inability to make a relationship last.

Ms Hembrow has three children: Wolf and Saskia with her ex-fiance Reece Hawkins, and her daughter Posy with her ex-fiance Matt Poole.

“Nothing anyone could say will make me feel more s**t or humiliated than I already do. I already think that about myself right now,” she said.

Ms Hembrow then shared she was still in therapy, and this experience has made her realise there’s a lot of work she still needs to do.

“There’s a lesson in everything. Hopefully, this time, I learn it,” she said.

“Hopefully, I’ll be more cautious going forward and more eyes wide open and listen to the people around me.

“Hopefully I finally learn from these mistakes. Super embarrassing, super heartbreaking, super just s*** situation.”

Meanwhile, Mr Zukowski posted on his Instagram story to confirm that the marriage was officially over and admitted he’d “struggled” with the decision.

‘It’s with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate. Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however, we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children,” he wrote.

‘This wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten.”
