“I wanted to finally tell you guys that I am going to be getting a divorce,” said Hembrow on TikTok, who declined to “bring anyone down” or go into detail about the cause of her split.

“Did I think this was gonna happen? Did I want this? No,” she said through tears. “Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it’s gonna be forever. And I blame no one but myself, to be honest.”

Hembrow continued, “I feel like I’ve made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. And I feel like I’m really good at putting on rose-colored glasses or just getting swept up in it all.”

Hembrow was most emotional when discussing the impact of her split from Zukowski on her three children — 10-year-old son Wolf and 8-year-old daughter Saskia, whom she shares with ex Reece Hawkins, and 3-year-old daughter Posy, whom she shares with ex Matt Poole.

“I don’t care about me, like, I know I’ll be okay, but I obviously feel awful,” she said,” adding, “Nothing anyone could say could make me feel more s— than I already do, like more humiliated. … At the end of the day, I know this is what needs to happen, there’s no other option.”

For now, Hembrow said she was focusing on her kids and “healing” herself. “There’s been times where I felt that I’ve grown so much and then this whole experience has just made me feel like I still have a lot of growing to do a lot of a lot of work to do,” she said, adding, “There’s a lesson and everything and hopefully this time I learn it.”

Zukowski confirmed his split from Hembrow on his Instagram Story Saturday, writing, “It’s with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate.” The Love Island alum continued, “Both of us have struggled with making this decision however; we need to do what is right for ourselves and her 3 children. This wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten.”
