AFL star Bailey Smith has found himself at the centre of fresh speculation after being spotted enjoying a sunny Sydney day with an unidentified blonde companion. The 25-year-old sportsman's coastal outing came mere hours after he was seen reuniting with his former flame, fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow, 31, adding a layer of intrigue to his visit.
A Day of Two Encounters in Manly
The Western Bulldogs player was captured on video twice in the Sydney suburb of Manly last Friday, sparking curiosity among fans. First, he was filmed leaving the Manly Pacific Hotel in the morning with Tammy Hembrow, with whom he enjoyed a brief, whirlwind romance earlier this year. The pair appeared comfortable yet cautious, with Tammy notably scanning the area as they exited, seemingly to avoid witnesses. Bailey was also seen carrying what looked like a box of bakery treats.
Later the same day, a separate clip surfaced on TikTok showing Bailey in a more relaxed setting. He was filmed walking towards Manly Beach with a mystery blonde woman. The footage, set to the song 'Mimosa 2000', showed the pair looking at ease in each other's company, though there were no public displays of affection. The TikTok user optimistically captioned the video: '#baileysmith spotted in Manly with his new missus'.
Style Over Substance? Fans React
While the nature of his relationship with the blonde woman remains unclear, social media followers seemed more focused on Bailey's wardrobe choices than his love life. Comments on the video quickly zeroed in on his casual attire of a light blue polo shirt and jean shorts, or 'jorts'. One user remarked, 'This bloke's always wearing the same outfit,' while another asked, 'Is he always in that shirt and jorts combo or???' His companion for the beach walk wore a sleeveless orange top with navy blue trousers.
A Complicated Romantic History
This Sydney trip follows a short-lived romance between Bailey Smith and Tammy Hembrow that ignited and fizzled within months. The Daily Mail exclusively revealed their first date in early August at the upmarket Rick Shores restaurant on the Gold Coast. Their romance included affectionate beach walks and a romantic dinner at Melbourne's Entrecôte.
However, the relationship reportedly ended after friends of Tammy's ex-husband, Matt Zukowski, shared details of her past relationship with Bailey. An insider claimed this information 'didn't paint Tammy in the best light' and caused the AFL star to reconsider the romance.
Since their split, Tammy has been linked to former Love Island star Eoghan Murphy, after they were photographed together at a Snapchat event on the Gold Coast. Meanwhile, Bailey's current relationship status, following his day with both a former girlfriend and a new mystery woman, remains decidedly ambiguous.
