Responding to \u201cWhen he\u2019s divorced with kids\u201d, she laughed and said, \u201cbutterflies, I am also divorced with kids\u201d.<\/p>\n
Then came the obvious jab aimed at Smith.<\/p>\n
When replying to \u201cWhen they only want to talk about footy,\u201d Hembrow said \u201cick,\u201d before adding, \u201conly because I don\u2019t really know anything about footy, I can\u2019t really contribute to that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The term \u201cick\u201d refers to a sudden feeling of repulsion or disgust toward someone, leading to a loss of attraction.<\/p>\n
The video was posted as part of Hembrow\u2019s partnership with hook-up app Tinder. Smith also had a paid partnership with Tinder in July, to promote its double date feature.<\/p>\n
Their whole situationship could potentially have been a PR stunt, or Tinder just hopped onto a golden opportunity after the pair made headlines.<\/p>\n
Rumours first swirled about a whirlwind romance between Hembrow and Bailey in August when the pair were spotted walking hand-in-hand on the Gold Coast after dining at fancy Burleigh restaurant Rick Shores.<\/p>\n
Later that month, they hard-launched their relationship with a racy photo during a dinner date in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Last week, Hembrow seemingly called Smith \u201cboring\u201d in a podcast interview, after the footy star told morning radio program Kyle and Jackie O they were \u201cjust friends\u201d prior to the Brownlow Medal night.<\/p>\n
Hembrow opened up about a recent date on the podcast Mad About You and fans were quick to connect the dots.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t been on many dates until recently, really,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
Then came the apparent Smith swipe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never really dated. I sort of just met someone and that was that. But I did go on a date with a guy \u2026 it\u2019s literally the only guy I went on a date with \u2026 he was just so boring,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hembrow went on to hint at how the pair first connected.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I speak to someone online or meet them online, I want to meet them face to face straight away,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not really a texter or anything like that. If you\u2019re trying to talk to me, I need to meet you face to face.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we went on a date and it was just like \u2026 I was just so bored.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was really like lovely. I\u2019m like super goofy and weird and hyper active and I can\u2019t be bored.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also reflected on her nerves leading up to the date.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was nervous as well,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I\u2019m boring and he\u2019s matching my energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments come just months after Hembrow confirmed she had filed for divorce from husband Matt Zukowski following seven months of marriage.<\/p>\n
She admitted it had been a challenging time but said she was learning to care less about outside noise.<\/p>\n
\u201c(It\u2019s been tough) especially in the beginning,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m at a point where I couldn\u2019t care less what anyone says about anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like in the beginning when I was navigating the breakdown of my relationship it was especially (challenging) then. People were like, she\u2019s not wearing her ring, and I was dealing with it in the moment myself and having people comment on stuff.<\/p>\n
Hembrow said she considers herself \u201ca normal person\u201d but admitted she\u2019s \u201cnot great at love.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels like that. I\u2019m just like a normal person and I am just going through things that normal people would go through,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t look up my name, I don\u2019t have google alerts.<\/p>\n
\u201cOccasionally a friend or someone will send me something and most of the time I\u2019m like, just don\u2019t. I feel like it does impact your mental health especially when it\u2019s stuff that\u2019s not even true, that\u2019s literally the dumbest thing I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n
\u201cPretty much all the frickin\u2019 headlines are all completely wrong. It\u2019s all clickbait, it\u2019s ridiculous. I try to not look \u2014 out of sight, out of mind. I try to focus on my life. Otherwise I would be in a mental spiral. I do have a thick skin but it still does get to you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tammy Hembrow has taken a sharp and unmistakably pointed swipe at Geelong star Bailey Smith.
