High-profile fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow has addressed the hottest rumour going around: her relationship with Geelong superstar Bailey Smith.
Hembrow, who is recently divorced, did not exactly say that Smith and her were an item, but she did at least confirm they know each other.
Hembrow was in Melbourne for the Sasha Therese fashion event on Wednesday night.

And the AFL obsessed media naturally quizzed her over the spicy rumours about her and Smith.
“I’m here for a few things. A little work, a little play, a little bit of both,” Hembrow said to News Corp.
“I’m not going to say anything about Bailey except he’s a sweetie … he’s a good guy.”

That was enough for one media outlet to write she had “confirmed their budding romance”.
Hembrow was also pressed on whether she would make an appearance — with Smith — at this year’s Brownlow Medal.
Smith is one of the favourites for the AFL’s best-and-fairest award after a superb first year with Geelong.
He is second favourite with most bookmakers, behind Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos and ahead of Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson.
Smith’s love life has been suddenly thrusted into the spotlight, after a close encounter with Hembrow on the Gold Coast.
Witnesses claimed they saw Hembrow and Smith holding hands and kissing for hours, while another report said they were seen together again after Geelong defeated Essendon in Round 22.
Hembrow was married to former reality star and podcaster Matt Zukowski, but it broke down after just seven months.
At the start of August, photos published by The Daily Mail show Hembrow and Smith appearing to realise their relationship was no longer under wraps after spotting cameras stationed outside the venue.
The pair had dined at the upscale restaurant Rick Shores, located inside the Pavilion.
Some onlookers noticed the coincidence that she was wearing the same brand of sportswear that Smith was wearing when they were captured leaving Burleigh Pavilion on Saturday together.
When asked directly if he and Hembrow are together, Smith replied: “What do you want me to say?”. He then cursed at the reporter.
Later, in a TikTok, Hembrow mouthed the popular audio: “Don’t be f****** boring. This whole town is so f****** boring. I don’t care.”
