A fan asked, "What happened with you and Matt?"

Earlier this year Queensland fitness influencer, Tammy Hembrow confirmed the reason behind her split from her Ironman fiancé, Matt Poole.

Tammy opened up in the comments section of a TikTok at the time when a fan asked, “What happened with you and Matt?”

The 28-year-old responded: “Some people are just not meant to be together no matter how hard they try. We are much better as friends. Not that it’s anyone’s business”.

Late last year Tammy confirmed she and Matt Poole had split up just seven months after welcoming their first child, Posy.

According to Daily Mail, Tammy told a makeup artist at a photoshoot in Sydney that the couple had parted ways.

“Tammy said she and Matt split a little while ago and that he was now doing his own thing — which is why she brought her baby Posy to set,” a source told the publication.

“Tammy said they were doing the best to keep a friendship while sharing their little one.”

Rumours first began to swirl that Tammy and Matt had separated three months after welcoming their daughter Posy in June, 2022.

The pair started dating in 2020 and became engaged in November 2021. Two weeks after the couple announced their engagement, Tammy and Matt shared they were expecting their first child together.

The Gold Coast fitness model also has two children with her ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins – son Wolf, six, and daughter Saskia, five.

Three months after welcoming their daughter, Posy, rumours began circulating the couple had split.

Tammy and Matt’s daughter, Posy was born with a rare genetic mutation, which is called Polydactyly, just like Tammy. The 28yo beauty, her sisters, mother and brother also had the mutation, which basically means she was born with 12 fingers.

The extra fingers are usually small and abnormally developed and are removed via surgery at birth.

In a video posted to YouTube, Tammy shared the suprise news with fans, that her unborn daughter has a rare gentetic mutation, which is called Polydactyly.

“We just saw the little baby, and the surprise was that she has 12 fingers, like me, like her mummy,” Tammy says in the video.

The Queenslander’s first two children, son Wolf and Saskia did not have the mutation.

“Amy and Emilee had extra fingers when they were born as well, and so did my little brother. So did my mum. It runs in my family,’ she explained.

“It skips a few people, like it skipped Wolf and Sass, but this baby has 12 fingers. Isn’t it crazy?”

In the YouTube video, which shows the ultrasound of her baby’s hand, Tammy says her daughter’s extra finger will be “cut off at birth”.
