Matt Zukowski has revealed he still has a tattoo commemorating his tumultuous marriage to influencer Tammy Hembrow

The former Love Island star, 31, has his ex-partner's name permanently etched into his hip to match a similar tattoo Tammy, 31, received with his name

But while the online personality was quick to have her 'Matt' tattoo removed from her groin, her ex has instead attempted to conceal his in a bizarre manner.

Matt shared a photo to Instagram on Tuesday, flaunting his toned torso as he struck a sultry pose while getting out of a pool.

Tammy's name was in full view on his hip as he kept his shorts slung low on his body, but Matt attempted to cover it up by censoring the tattoo.

Rather than cropping it out or covering it up with clothing, he drew a black mark over the photo to hide Tammy's name.

Matt is no stranger to inking a partner's name on his skin, as he previously removed another tattoo which reminded him of a different ex-girlfriend. 

In 2022, the former reality TV star tattooed the name of his ex-partner, Genevieve, on his behind in a tiny love heart.

However, after their split in 2023, he later documented having the ink removed in a sponsored post just a month before his wedding to Tammy in 2024. 

Matt's online editing of his tattoo comes after Tammy entered the New Year with a clean slate by completely erasing him from her body.

The influencer shared her own sponsored post online, revealing she had several artworks zapped off her frame, including Matt's name and their wedding date. 

'I have my ex's name down on my hip – and I don't need that one,' she said as she rubbed numbing cream on the intimate area.

Tammy also revealed she was getting a large flower on her back removed, which she had wanted to do for years.

She later shared a clip showing the offending tattoos being erased, captioning it: 'Finally.'

The influencer also shared a further Stories post revealing that she was using Numit numbing cream to help ease the pain of her laser treatment.

In an ironic twist of fate, Numit also sponsored Matt when he had his tattoo of Genevieve removed. 

Matt and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating.

They tied the knot in November 2024, and announced they were divorcing in June 2025.

Matt later revealed on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! that while he and Tammy were publicly married for seven months, they had actually split after three.
