It’s Instagram official. Bailey Smith and Tammy Hembrow have hard launched their relationship.
The AFL superstar and millionaire fitness influencer have both shared a racy pic of their dinner date in a romantic Melbourne dining spot.
The photo, posted in their Instagram stories, showed Smith’s hand resting on Hembrow’s thigh with their meals at the table of French brasserie Entrecôte (in the inner Melbourne suburb of Prahran).

The fresh picture ends weeks of whispers and rumours about the couple.
They were first spotted on the Gold Coast walking arm-in-arm on the beach and reportedly shared a kiss in full view of trailing photographers.
From then on gossip columnists have been in a spin, with Hembrow (who has 17 million Instagram followers) recently divorced and several years older than Smith.
At the restaurant, Hembrow, 31, turned heads in a blush-pink dress from cult Australian label With Jéan, a brand adored by the likes of Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski.
Smith, 24, kept a low profile, tucking into oysters, steak, and French fries (a popular dish at the restaurant), while Hembrow sipped on wine.
Entrecôte, with its velvet banquettes, oak panelling and chandeliers, has become one of Melbourne’s go-to date spots, providing a suitably romantic backdrop for the couple’s first social media debut, The Daily Mail reported.
Hembrow has been in Melbourne for work commitments, including attending a Sasha Therese event and stepping out at The Timber Yard alongside other celebrities. When asked about Smith during the week, she simply described him as a “sweetie” and “a good guy.”
Now, a new question has emerged.
Will Hembrow appear on the famous red carpet with Smith at the Brownlow Medal?
Smith made headlines of his own at the AFL Awards, where he received his All-Australian blazer and spoke candidly about his battle with mental health.
His candidness at the awards has only added to the intrigue around his personal life.
“It was about a year ago, I got out of a psych ward,” Smith told the crowd.
“I was in Epworth Camberwell for like four weeks, and I got out a couple hours a day, and I spent that time training. I went through a really dark time. I didn’t think I’d get to the other side. I’m super grateful to be here through the support of my family.”
Now, with finals looming and a new romance in the spotlight, Smith is stepping into September with both professional and personal attention firmly on him.
