The Tammy Hembrow and Bailey Smith media circus has reached “engagement ring rumour” stage, and it’s all getting a little silly now. Are we part of the problem for writing about it? Yes. But also here you are reading it, so let’s all be gremlins together and enjoy this silly story for the smooth brain juice it is.
In case you’ve been out of the loop, a portion of the internet has gone into chaos mode over Hembrow’s rumoured romance with the AFL star two months after she split from Love Island Australia alum Matt Zukowski.
While Hembrow and Smith have remained tight-lipped on their relationship (despite many indirect posts, which fans have speculated to be directed at online trolls), the influencer has seemingly fuelled dating rumours via her latest Instagram post.
On Monday, Hembrow shared an IG dump, which she captioned “lately”.
Alongside some saucy photos of a crochet bikini (slay), pilates and food, fans took notice of a photo where she’s sporting a grey jacket and a ring so big it rivals Cristiano Ronaldo‘s recent rock.
Immediately, one fan pointed out the jacket — a vintage Adidas windbreaker — likely belonged to Smith, as it appeared to be the same one he was wearing when papped on their Gold Coast date last week.
“Bailey’s jacket,” a fan wrote alongside a series of pink heart emojis.
Another person also noticed Smith’s arm in another photo of sashimi.
Now, before any chokes up any engagement rumours, the giant rock of a ring was spotted on her middle finger and not the traditional ring one. So, yeah!
Also, I’d like to think Hembrow would hard launch her new boo thang, similar to when she went public with her and Zukowski’s whirlwind romance.
At the time of writing, neither party has confirmed nor denied their romance. However, Hembrow did recently share two social media posts, which could be conceived as a response to the hullabaloo surrounding her dating life.
The first was an Instagram dump where she urged folks to “smile a lil more okayyyy”.
Days later, Hembrow shared a TikTok, lip-syncing to an audio that called out everyone for being “boring” while wearing the same vintage Adidas jacket.
“Don’t be fucking boring. This whole town is so fucking boring, I can’t,” she lip-synced.
While her dating life remains somewhat of a mystery, we cannot help but cheer her on for this WAG era. We are living for it!
