Perhaps the spiciest moment of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia 2026 came when Matthew Zukowski dropped major tea on his whirlwind marriage and divorce with Aussie influencer Tammy Hembrow.
In a PEDESTRIAN.TV exclusive of Tuesday night’s episode, Zukowski — after beating Married At First Sight‘s Cyrell Paule in a grizzly challenge — dropped a series of truth bombs on his high-profile divorce from Hembrow at I’m A Celeb‘s base camp.
The mammoth tea spill began when comedian Nath Valvo asked the Love Island Australia star if he wanted to have family, to which he revealed that he “shoots blanks”.
“I can’t have kids,” Zukowski revealed to the camp.
When Deni Hines suggested IVF, Zukowski revealed that he and Hembrow sought out options regarding children before they divorced.
“So me and my ex-wife, we were trying to like — figuring it out, like we had a call and that but we didn’t take it any further,” Zukowski revealed.
When Hines asked how long the marriage lasted, Zukowski dropped a major bomb, sharing he and Hembrow had actually been hitched for only three months rather than seven months.
“Publicly, it was like seven,” Zukowski added before revealing how he and Hembrow met.
“We met through socials,” he continued.
“It’s a quickie, shot, sharp,” one campmate joked before Barry Williams added, “by Hollywood standards, buddy, good go.”
When his fellow stars asked who his ex-wife was, Zukowskie mumbled “Tammy Hembrow”.
“Whoa, cool. I was like there’d be so many I wouldn’t know, but I know that one,” Triple J host Concetta Caristo said before Hines said she doesn’t know who Hembrow is.
Discussing the divorce further with Deni Hines in a private moment, Zukowski recounted how things “got worse” after they got hitched.
Have a watch below:
Why did Tammy Hembrow and Matthew Zukowski breakup?
Let’s delve into the lore, shall we?
Both Tammy and Matt have dropped little hints online that have clued punters into the fact that the split was anything but amicable and that there were deep-seated issues in the relationship.
During their time together, the pair would routinely block and unblock each other on socials.
In June 2025, Tammy posted the following quote to her IG Stories: “When something feels off, it is” captioned with “a women’s intuition >”.
Just a few days prior, Tammy posted a TikTok of herself singing along to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Man Child”, specifically the lyrics: “I love my boys playing hard to get and I like my men all incompetent, and I swear they choose me, I ain’t choosing them.”
Following their split, the Love Island star liked a fan’s comment that read: “He’s freeeeeee!!!!!! Congratulations”.
Zukowski also responded to another user who questioned how “this man could or would want to stuff it up” with Hembrow since she’s a “dream girl”.
He replied with a vague yet savage: “You don’t know her…”
After months upon months of rumours of a split, Zukowski and Hembrow confirmed their divorce in June 2025.
Zukowski addressed some of the aforementioned rumours in his divorce announcement on his podcast Where’s Your Head At?.
“I know there’s a lot of whispers and rumours online, and people are wanting to hear the ins and outs of our relationship and what happened that led to us separating, but you got to remember that this is real life and I’m still processing it in real time,” he said at the time.
“I also have too much respect for our relationship and what we had. Plus, there are three beautiful children involved, so my priority is focusing on healing and reconnecting with myself and feeling happy again.”
In Tammy’s TikTok announcement, she also skirted around the reasons why it ended.
“I’m not one to bring anyone down. I want to be sensitive to everyone involved and I don’t want to talk about anyone but myself,” she said.
“I blame no one but myself, I haven’t made the best choices when it comes to relationships and I’m really good at putting on rose-coloured glasses.”
While Zukowski has remained tight-lipped about the details of the divorce up until I’m A Celeb, Hembrow has opened up about the split.
“Dealing with my divorce and everything so publicly is really difficult because I don’t know, it’s just, there’s so many different emotions, like it’s humiliating, it’s heartbreaking,” Hembrow said on her sister’s podcast Let’s Be Real in November 2025.
“I honestly haven’t coped. Like, in the beginning, I really was not coping well with it, and I feel like it’s definitely changed my perspective on a lot of things, especially like future relationships.”
Hembrow has yet to respond to Zukowski’s recent stint on I’m A Celeb, but if we look back at their history of online jabs, it looks like an indirect TikTok could be on its way.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.30pm, and Sunday at 7pm on 10 and 10plus.
