Tammy Hembrow celebrates an early Christmas in July with children after fleeing the country following split from husband Matt Zukowski: 'My soul needed this'
Tammy Hembrow fled the country this week after announcing her shock split from husband Matt Zukowski. The pair are headed for divorce after just seven months of marriage, and the fitness influencer has jetted off to New Zealand to rest and recuperate. And Tammy is very much in doting mother mode as she enjoys the idyllic getaway with her children. Tammy took to Instagram on Saturday to share a series of images and clips showing her and her three children — Wolf, nine, daughter Saskia, seven, and toddler Posy, three — living it up in Queenstown. The family foursome were getting into the festive spirit early, celebrating a whimsical Christmas in July.

Tammy, rugged up in a fleecy jumper, with her midriff exposed, posed happily with her brood in front of a wintry scene dotted with festive candy canes and large, illuminated Christmas presents. Another photo showed the influencer posing in front of the same scene, hugging her three children tight. There was also time for some sweet shopping too, with another shot showing her youngsters staring in wonderment through a local Queenstown candy shop window. It wouldn't be a winter escape without some skiing, and Tammy also shared a short clip of her flaunting her style on the slopes. 'Christmas in July because who doesn't love a lil winter Christmas magic?' Tammy captioned the sweet snaps. 'When I tell you my soul NEEDED thissss. Forever my favourite holiday. 'A reminder of warmth, family, the magic of slowing down & the joy that lives in the littlest moments. The cosiest first night in NZ w my babies!!' The post was met with a flurry of comments from friends and followers, with one offering: 'Glad you're enjoying your time here Mama, you deserve it always, better days are coming, sending love.' Another chimed in with a similar sentiment: 'I love this for you guys! You're an amazing mama and you're doing a great job.' Tammy announced her shock split from Matt in an emotional video on Sunday. The Love Island Australia star also revealed the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy. Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post. In a post shared to Instagram on Thursday, Tammy announced she was heading to Queenstown with her kids, before sharing footage of the family at the airport. 'Errands before our lil getaway. Honestly this couldn't have come at a more perfect time' Tammy wrote in her caption. 'Guys, give me all your Queenstown recommendations,' she added alongside a series of images in which she posed alongside her car. Tammy later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video, telling fans she would be getting a divorce. 'I don't want to get into the details, and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' she told fans. 'Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever, and I blame no one but myself,' Tammy continued while breaking down in tears. 'I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I'm good at putting on rose-coloured glasses. 'Obviously the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I will be okay, but I feel awful.' The news came less than 24 hours after Matt was spotted spending time with sports journalist Tayla Little at the London Tavern in Melbourne. Tammy and Matt tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Château Du Soleil in Byron Bay on November 23. They got engaged in December 2023, following just three months of dating. The jet-setting pair became engaged in the Maldives, before heading off to Greece and Bali for luxury holidays.

Marriage Diaries: I'm worried my wife's newly divorced friend is leading her astray
'I'm just going out with Janet for a few drinks.' It's a sentence I'm hearing a lot from my wife, recently. The Janet in question is her recently divorced best mate, whose split from her husband has swiftly been followed by a period of sustained socialising in which my wife has become her wing-woman. I've always really liked Janet. She's extremely warm and, well, lots of fun. And the fact that she's my wife's oldest friend means I'm not at all surprised that she wants to hang out with her and vice versa. Janet has decided to turn the negative of her divorce into a big positive and embrace the sudden lack of someone waiting for her at home by going out to meet whoever might be waiting for her elsewhere. Don't let that paint the wrong kind of picture, either, it's not like Janet's on some horny, hell-raising bender, she has her kids every other week and with her husband moving out of the house they shared, she's just making the most of the opportunity and lack of responsibility on her free weekends. However, she has stolen my wife, and we do have school-age kids, which leads to plenty of weekend responsibilities, and some of the escapades that Janet gets her involved in are starting to impact my life. Most of these escapades can usually be prefixed with the word ' boozy '. From brunches to lunches, even a picnic in the park, a lot has recently turned 'boozy', and I wouldn't be surprised if my wife called me next week to tell me that the museum visit they have planned has turned a bit 'boozy'. Last weekend, after a Friday night out with Janet, she was still too hungover the next day to go to a birthday party on Saturday afternoon, leaving me to go it alone with a gaggle of primary school parents, only 32 per cent of whom we like. Usually, we would look out for one another at such events, knowing full well who the 68 per cent are and realising that if one of us is engaged in conversation with one of them for more than five minutes that we'll need rescuing. There have been three separate instances like this since Janet, not that I'm keeping count. It doesn't always involve alcohol. Sometimes it's just that she has plans with Janet at the weekend that trump our plans because Janet 'needs her right now,' and I'm not sure what the expiration date on 'right now' is for recently divorced best friends. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that my wife is enjoying the opportunity to let her hair down after the last few years with me, where we had settled into an, admittedly, slightly less exciting daily routine that involves work, dinner and an evening in front of The Traitors. So, maybe every marriage needs a Janet, at some point, to shake things up. Although there's now talk of a girls' holiday, which is not happening, given the perilous state of our finances at the moment and the fact that we can't even afford a family holiday ourselves. So, I'm frantically searching my database of eligible fellas in the hope that I can set Janet up with one of them and things might start to calm down a bit. Unfortunately, most of my mates are now either married or golfers, and I know Janet well enough to know she's allergic to golfers. However, there is a very good friend of mine who has been a confirmed bachelor for years, and he could be the Janet antidote that I have been searching for. They'd be perfect for one another. Janet would get a new partner in crime. I'd get my wife back, everyone wins. White Lotus instead.

Lauryn 'Pumpkin' and Josh Efrid Were Trading Off Living at Their Shared Home Every Week After Split
Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird and ex Josh Efird got candid about sharing the same home amid their split in the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis The reality stars detailed their "nesting" experience, as they split weeks at their shared home to spend time with their children Pumpkin revealed she slept at the warehouse where she works during the time she wasn't able to stay in the shared homeLauryn "Pumpkin" Efird and Josh Efird adjusted to life as single parents by splitting their time with their kids — and their shared home — last year. On the the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, which aired on Friday, June 27, Pumpkin and Josh detailed what life was like as they lived separately, but in the same residence. "Right now, me and Josh are doing this thing called nesting," Pumpkin, 25, explained. "Basically, he's at the house for a week and then I'm at the house for the week, and then we kind of just figure out where we're gonna stay for the [other] week." "So I just made my bed at the warehouse," she added, confirming that she'd been staying at her place of work. "I feel like I don't have my kids, I wake up at work, go to sleep at work." Pumpkin initially filed for divorce from Josh after six years of marriage in August 2024, revealing in a settlement agreement obtained by PEOPLE that they'd reached a "bona fide state of separation" since that July. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. As Josh explained in the latest Mama June episode, for them, it's "all about what the kids need." Josh and Pumpkin share four children: Ella, 7, Bentley, 4, and 2-year-old twins Sylus and Stella. "Doing it by yourself is a whole-nother ballgame," Josh said. "It's a constant battle with bath time and diapers and all this stuff. I mean, it's hard." "I just hate being alone on the weeks that it's not my week," he added elsewhere in the episode. "What you get to do is have time to sit and reflect and think about all the things you can change or go back and fix." The differing schedules for the couple led to their eldest daughter acting "kind of weird about it," Pumpkin said, although she noted it was "nothing out of the ordinary." "I just think the more we just keep moving on to the future, everybody will be better," she said. Nearly a year after she filed for divorce from her ex, Pumpkin caught up with PEOPLE this month about how life has changed and how 'things are really, really great' in her new relationship with Darrin Kitchens. She also detailed how fans are going to catch a glimpse of her "co-parenting relationship" with Josh throughout season 7. 'I think you're going to obviously see us navigating the difference of we were married for 10 years and now we have to go to a co-parenting relationship,' she said. 'So I definitely think you'll see the struggles of that and us trying to figure that out and what co-parenting is going to look like for us moving forward.' As for her Kitchens, Pumpkin revealed that everyone can "get along" and that he "comes to a lot of family stuff." "Him and my kids get along. So for me, I am in a much happier place and in a much happier relationship," she said. 'I don't really feel like I have to beg for the bare minimum anymore. It is just already there.' Mama June: Family Crisis airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on WEtv. Read the original article on People

EXCLUSIVE Holly Valance, 42, SPLITS from billionaire property tycoon husband Nick Candy, 52, after years of living separate lives
Holly Valance has split from billionaire property tycoon husband Nick Candy after 13 years of marriage and a long time living separate lives MailOnline can reveal. The ex Neighbours actress, 42, who has reinvented herself as a conservative firebrand, is said to have been left lonely while the Reform Party treasurer, 52, tends to his business ventures around the world. A source told MailOnline: 'They have been living separate lives for a long time, he's travelling a lot and it's been a lonely life for Holly. 'Nick has businesses in Dubai and London, The Reform Party.' The couple are parents to daughters Luka, 11, and Nova, seven, and tied the knot back in September 2012 in Beverly Hills. A spokesman for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.' The estranged couple were last pictured together in March, with Holly dressed in £10K of designer clothing as they enjoyed a swanky lunch together in London. They wed in 2012 a lavish £3million ceremony with guests including Elton John, Simon Cowell as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Together they have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle and previously lived in a two-storey Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million, making it Britain's most expensive flat. Nick and Holly have since downsized to a £10million countryside mansion in the Cotswolds, which they have been renovating. In 2020, Nick gifted Holly with a £26million superyacht, despite the mother-of-two famously suffering from sea sickness. The businessman who previously poured millions into Conservative coffers, became Farage's party treasurer earlier this year. Both he and his former singer and actress wife have made little secret of their support for Farage. As far ago as 2022 they joined him and then incoming US president Donald Trump for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. A source told MailOnline: 'They have been living separate lives for a long time, he's travelling a lot and it's been a lonely life for Holly' As far ago as 2022 the former couple joined Farage and then incoming US president Donald Trump for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florid Holly also hosted fundraisers for Reform and they were in the audience when Farage returned as Party leader last year. The former soap star has spent the last decade focusing on her personal life and political interests. She launched her acting career in 1999 after winning the role of Felicity Scully in Neighbours, which she played until 2002. The Melbourne-born actress later moved to America and starred in several popular US movies and TV shows, including Taken, Entourage and Prison Break. She semi-retired from the industry in 2015, although she made a brief cameo on Neighbours in 2022. She raised eyebrows last year after slamming Greta Thunberg as a 'demonic little gremlin' and claiming Australia has become 'too woke' in a TV interview. Holly criticised climate activist Thunberg to podcast host Christopher Hope. 'I don't understand why you have this, like, demonic little gremlin high priestess of climatism as the goddess in classrooms, Greta [Thunberg],' she said. 'All the kids are all coming home with depression and anxiety. She Valance also told LBC radio she had donated around £100,000 to Reform. She and Candy were both seen at the Reform conference at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre. There have previously been signs of a political split in their household, with the billionaire businessman a former Tory donor who backed Labour at the general election, before jumping ship join his wife and Reform.
