Tammy Hembrow’s fiancé Matt Zukowski has been forced to get a tattoo of his former partner’s name removed less than one month out from their wedding.
The Love Island Australia star, 29, is set to tie the knot with the 30-year-old fitness influencer in Byron Bay in November.
Last week, Matt visited a tattoo removal shop to remove ink on his backside that read the name of one of his ex-girlfriends.
In the clip, he was seen walking into a chemist to purchase numbing cream ahead of the procedure.
‘Come with me to get some laser tattoo removal,’ he captioned his post.
In April 2022, Matt got his ex’s name ‘Gen’ inside a love heart tattooed on his bottom about two month in to their relationship.
The former reality TV star split from his ex Genevieve in January 2023, after almost a year of dating.
Speaking of the tattoo on his podcast Where’s Your Head At?, Matt revealed the idea of getting the tattoo was very spontaneous.

‘We were sitting there having a couple of drinks … and were like, “let’s just do it”,’ he said.
‘I was a bit nervous, she was a bit nervous… we were tossing up ideas on what we wanted.
‘And this might sound even crazier, it was two months into our relationship.’
It comes after his bride-to-be Tammy’s hens party ended in tears over the weekend.
The influencer, who was hosting a joint hens and bucks bash with fiancé Matt, was seen wiping away tears outside The Star before being whisked away in a white Maserati to a private Palm Beach residence.

An insider revealed to Daily Mail Australia what really went down, and it seems there’s trouble in paradise for the glamorous couple.
The source confirmed the drama began earlier in the day when Tammy and Matt had an emotional confrontation outside the venue.
‘Tammy was visibly upset, and Matt was trying to comfort her, but it was clear she didn’t want his affection,’ the insider told Daily Mail Australia.
‘They had a heated discussion before Tammy turned her back on him and left.’
Reports suggest it stems from weeks of tension over a prenuptial agreement that Tammy had asked Matt to sign.
‘This has been brewing for a while,’ the insider revealed.
‘It all started when Tammy brought up the prenup. Since then, they’ve unfollowed and re-followed each other on social media multiple times, and there’s speculation that the wedding might not go ahead at all.’
Despite the tension, the couple still went ahead with their respective pre-wedding celebrations.
Matt, dressed in a black and white prisoner costume, joined his mates for a Top Golf session, while Tammy stayed at her Broadbeach Waters home, where a glam squad spent the morning prepping her for her big day.
She donned a cheeky custom-made white babydoll dress, looking every inch the bride-to-be.
However, despite her glamorous appearance, it was clear all was not well behind the scenes.

‘You’d think this would be one of the happiest days of Tammy’s life, but it’s clear the relationship has hit a few bumps in the road,’ said the source.
Once glammed up, Tammy was taken to the Palm Beach property, a sprawling $3.6million mansion on Parnki Parade, rented by her sister Emilee and co-organised by her best friend, Isabella Laws.
Guests, unaware of the earlier drama, cheered Tammy as she arrived. The house, known for its Instagram-worthy aesthetic, was decorated for the occasion, with a sign outside reading, ‘Let’s Drink, Dine, and Dance.’
However, it seems that the evening might not have been as carefree as planned.
The hens party had been in the works for weeks, with high-end venues like Rick Shores and Laluna Beach Club considered, but ultimately, the Instagrammable home was chosen as the ideal spot for the intimate celebration.

Noticeably absent from the guest list were some of Tammy’s famous acquaintances, with the event attended mostly by her lifelong school friends.
As the night progressed, there was talk of the party morphing into a ‘Hucks’ (hens-bucks) event, with both Tammy and Matt reuniting for a joint celebration.
However, given the earlier tensions, some guests weren’t sure if the plan would actually go ahead.
