Matt Zukowski has fuelled speculation that his whirlwind romance with Tammy Hembrow may be over, after posting footage of himself going to the movies solo on Tuesday.
The Love Island star, 29, took to Instagram to share a video from inside the cinema, revealing he was watching Death of a Unicorn alone – a move that comes just days after fans noticed he was glaringly absent from Tammy’s lavish 31st birthday celebrations.
Matt made it clear he was watching the movie alone, appearing in a white hoodie and backwards cap as he addressed his followers while seated in a plush theatre chair.
Sources close to the couple have now confirmed to Daily Mail that the pair have quietly split, with Matt recently relocating back to Melbourne.
‘Matt and Tammy are on a break. They’re not saying it’s over for good, but for now they’re taking time apart,’ the insider revealed.
‘They’re both really emotional people, and they’ve decided to put their ‘marriage’ on pause for now.’

The solo cinema outing marks Matt’s first public appearance since he broke his silence on ongoing divorce rumours surrounding the couple, who tied the knot just five months ago in a glamorous Byron Bay wedding.
In a candid Instagram Stories video posted earlier this week, Matt admitted to taking a step back from social media, blaming online negativity.
‘There’s a lot of people out there who say negative stuff and they want to see people fail, they want to see things fail,’ he said.
‘It’s depressing. So I took a break.’
However, the reality star notably avoided addressing his relationship status with Tammy, who was seen living her best life during her birthday festivities on the Gold Coast.
The fitness mogul shared several glamorous snaps from her big day, including photos of her decadent cake, extravagant floral arrangements and gifts – but her husband was nowhere to be seen.
She also made a point to thank her girlfriends in a post captioned: ‘Grateful for the girlies in my life making me feel so special today.’
The snub did not go unnoticed by fans, with many flooding the comments section of her posts asking: ‘Where’s your husband?’ and ‘Divorced already?’

One concerned follower wrote, ‘Super weird that you don’t show your husband in your birthday post but everything else.’
While some fans defended the influencer, others pointed to her recent online activity as further evidence of relationship trouble.
Just last month, Tammy was caught unfollowing Matt on Instagram before quickly re-following him – a pattern that’s occurred multiple times since they began dating in 2023.
At one stage, she also deleted several loved-up snaps of the couple, sparking alarm bells among her loyal followers.
The couple’s rollercoaster romance has had no shortage of drama, with one of their most public fallouts occurring in January at the n Open.
The pair were spotted in a heated exchange inside the VIP suite, where witnesses claimed Tammy told Matt to ‘get your stuff out of my house.’ She was later seen leaving Melbourne without her wedding rings.
‘One thing is for sure, the [n Open] won’t be having them back next year,’ one guest told Daily Mail at the time.
While Tammy and Matt managed to patch things up in the days that followed, friends say the couple’s fiery dynamic has always been a double-edged sword.
‘They obviously love the drama. It’s like they enjoy fighting and getting back together,’ a close friend previously told Daily Mail .
Tammy and Matt began dating in mid-2023, after Matt slid into her DMs, and were engaged just three months later.
They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay in November, surrounded by close friends and family.
Matt finally broke his silence as he remains absent from wife Tammy’s online posts
The Love Island star, who has been at the centre of divorce rumours with the fitness influencer he married just months ago, insisted in an Instagram Stories post on Monday that he was simply having a social media break
Tammy, who has unfollowed Matt, 29, multiple times in the past, also deleted several images of the pair together before re-following him again.
The couple met after the former Love Island star slid into Tammy’s DMs in 2023 and wed a year later in a stunning Byron Bay ceremony.
However, her recent social media move has fans questioning the state of their marriage.
Tammy’s Instagram now shows that she has re-followed her spouse.
This isn’t the first time the fitness influencer has unfollowed and re-followed her partner on social media.
The couple sparked speculation that their relationship was in strife after they briefly unfollowed each other on social media in October last year – just one month before their wedding.
However, the pair quickly re-followed each other shortly after Daily Mail contacted them for comment.
Before that, the pair briefly unfollowed each other on social media in April last year.
Tellingly however, Matt did not directly address his marriage to Tammy, who celebrated her 31st birthday last week and made sure to extensively document the event on social media – with Matt absent the whole time
‘There’s a lot of people out there who say negative stuff and they want to see people fail, they want to see things fail’ Matt said in the clip when explaining why he hasn’t been seen online
