Tammy Hembrow is selling her three wedding dresses after seven-month marriage to Matt Zukowski - as it's revealed what she REALLY paid
Tammy Hembrow is putting her three wedding dresses on the market after ending her seven-month marriage to Matt Zukowski. The fitness influencer, who announced her split from the Love Island star in June, shared a video revealing that she would be offloading the Vera Wang gowns as they no longer hold 'sentimental value'. 'I don't know if this is a little bit unhinged but I don't really care to be honest,' the 31-year-old told the camera, while wearing a plain white tee and shades over her eyes. 'I wanna get rid of my wedding dresses. I was going to keep them originally but obviously they don't really hold the sentimental value anymore.' She finished off the clip, saying: 'So, if anyone wants to buy one, let me know, hit me up.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Tammy's three dresses include a rosy-hued, full-skirted tulle dress, a sleek bustier number and a short corseted dress with a dramatic train, all by Vera Wang. Daily Mail previously reported that the dress Tammy wore for her ceremony was priced at $12,800, according to a source. It was also revealed by Outspoken Podcast that the dresses were all part of a sponsorship deal that Tammy made with the iconic wedding gown designer, thus implying that they were free. One fan questioned whether buying the dresses would mean 'bad juju' for their wearers, while another branded them as 'cursed'. Tammy recently sparked rumours that she could be getting back together with her ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins. The social media star played a cheeky phone prank on Reece, whom she shares two children – Wolf, 8, and Saskia, 6 – with. She posted a clip to her 2.2 million TikTok followers that showed her calling up Reece unannounced to say 'goodnight'. 'What do you mean?' Reece replied before Tammy answered: 'Can't I just say goodnight to you? What do you mean? 'I'm the mother of your children. I can't say goodnight? A friendly goodnight?' Struggling to get his head around the call, Reece asked again why Tammy was calling, and she replied: 'Goodnight, see you later.' Neglecting to reciprocate the sentiment, Reece ended the phone call with an abrupt: 'Yeah, alright, loser,' which elicited a hearty laugh from Tammy. Tammy's cheeky post sent her fans into overdrive, with many pleading with the influencer to get back together with her ex. 'They broke up years ago and I'm still in denial. Tammy & Reece, come home,' one fan wrote. Another pined: 'I can't be the only one that is praying for this reconciliation,' while a third offered a hopeful: 'Please let this be the start of the reunion we have all been waiting for.' Meanwhile, Matt Zukowski announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story last month, 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. 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.'

Woman Declines Stepdaughter's Request to Have Family Heirloom, but the Teen ‘Already Considers It Hers'
A woman is at odds with her 16-year-old stepdaughter after the teen asked for a family heirloom The woman's grandmother left her a pretty, but "not super expensive," bracelet when she died The teen has set her sights on the prized piece of jewelry — and refuses to back downA woman who has been saving her grandmother's bracelet says her stepdaughter is now asking for it — and won't take "no" for an answer. "My grandmother left me a bracelet when she passed. It's not super expensive, but it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I wore it at my wedding, and I've kept it safe ever since," the woman writes in a since-deleted post on Reddit. When her 16-year-old stepdaughter saw it in her jewelry box a couple of years ago, the teen mentioned how "pretty" she thought it was. "I told her it belonged to my grandma, and she asked if she could have it when she turns 18. I kind of laughed it off and said, 'We'll see.' That was months ago," the poster writes. Cut to last week, and the teen brought it up again — "but this time, she told me she already considers it hers," the woman writes. "I told her I never said I would give it to her, and it was important to me," the mom explains. "She got upset and said I should want to pass it down to her because she's 'basically my daughter.' " When the woman reiterated that she didn't want to give it away due to its sentimental significance, the teen "stormed off." She then went and told her dad — the poster's husband — that she was being treated like she "wasn't family." "Now he's on her side too," the woman writes. "He says it wouldn't hurt me to let her have it and that it would mean a lot to her. I told him it means a lot to ME, and I don't understand why she feels entitled to it." Now, both her husband and stepdaughter are giving her "the cold shoulder," and she feels like she is "going crazy."

While the father-daughter duo were on the same side, most comments were in support of the woman. "This is a family memento. And the first thing you have to do now is hide it, because they will try and steal it from you," wrote one commenter. "You're not treating her like she's not family you're just protecting something that's important to you," another added. "Why would you give it to her when she turns 18?" a third person asked. "Wouldn't you wait, and leave it to her when you die, just like your grandmother did?" Read the original article on People
