Tammy Hembrow’s ex-husband Matt Zukowski appeared visibly downcast on Monday during a solo coffee run after his estranged wife’s budding romance with AFL heartthrob Bailey Smith was revealed just two months after their split.

The former Love Island star, 29, looked glum as he absorbed the news of the hook-up at a café in Melbourne.

After reading a newspaper inside the eatery, he sat alone at a small table outside and looked engrossed while looking at something on his phone, with the weight of recent events appearing to hang heavy on him.

At one point, he appeared tense while deep in conversation on a phone call.

The single podcast host looked as though he just left the house, dressed in black tracksuit pants paired with a white T-shirt and black bomber jacket.

The outing comes after Matt admitted that he was hurt seeing Tammy step out with Geelong Cats star Bailey, 24,  – just days after claiming she was happily single following the breakdown of their marriage.

When approached for comment on the photos of Tammy and Bailey, Matt told a reporter: ‘I heard about this and it’s not a nice feeling.

‘We only broke up eight weeks ago. I just don’t understand how someone can move on so quickly. It’s been 48 days and I’m still trying to work out how I feel as a person after committing in marriage. I’m trying to focus on myself and heal.’

Tammy was spotted cosying up to Bailey during a lunch date on the Gold Coast on Saturday – after the long-haired midfielder flew in from Melbourne just to see her.

The Cats’ new recruit was riding high after helping his team thrash Essendon at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night.

By Saturday morning, he was on a flight to Brisbane for his secret weekend rendezvous with Tammy.

Bailey didn’t skimp on their date, taking her out for a swanky meal at Pan-Asian hotspot Rick Shores at Burleigh Heads, where the pair were anything but discreet.

Tammy – braless, of course – turned heads in a semi-sheer cropped tank top which she teamed with baggy jeans, white heels and a $5,000 Chanel Boy Bag.

Bailey – his code’s most eligible bachelor – dressed down for the occasion in denim and a blue polo shirt and let his signature Tarzan-like mane of blond hair flow freely.

It looked to be a serious outing for the once carefree reality TV star

Tammy and Matt tied the knot last November in a lavish Byron Bay ceremony and announcement their separation just seven months later

The chemistry was undeniable, with the two seen leaving the venue hand–in–hand, laughing and whispering as they spied our photographer.

After lunch, it’s quite possible the two made the 15-minute journey to Hembrow’s $2.88 million waterfront home in Broadbeach Waters to get to know each other better.

That same day, Tammy shared a gallery of snaps on Instagram while clad in sultry lingerie.

Bailey jetted back to Melbourne on Sunday to resume training ahead of Geelong’s clash with the Swans at the SCG.

But it was upon his return to Melbourne Airport that Bailey made a telling remark that hinted at a deeper connection with Tammy.

When our photographer mispronounced Tammy’s surname – saying ‘Hem–brow’ instead of ‘Hem–bro’ – Bailey scolded him.

‘It’s Hem-bro, not Hem-brow,’ he snapped – a protective four-word correction that hints this could be more than a casual fling.

‘F**kin’ hell, do your research,’ he added.

Pressed on whether he and Tammy were officially an item, Bailey played coy: ‘What do you want me to say?’ he muttered.
