AFL superstar Bailey Smith dropped a few of his dating green and red flags just before he was pictured getting very cosy with one of Australia’s most famous influencers – but aspiring partners might need to move quickly.
Smith was recently spotted on a date with Tammy Hembrow, sparking fresh romance rumours.
Hembrow was seen on a Gold Coast lunch outing with the AFL star, just two months after splitting from husband Matthew Zukowski.
Smith flew in from Melbourne the morning after Geelong’s win over Essendon to take her to the very trendy Rick Shores eatery at Burleigh Heads.
The pair drew attention with their affectionate behaviour and standout outfits during the outing.
Smith is single after splitting from his glamorous girlfriend of two years, Gemma Dawkins, last year.

The Geelong star is now the face of Tinder’s new double date feature alongside best mate Angus Gorman (pictured together)
Before that, his last public relationship was with Alexandra Alvisi, which ended in 2023 after more than a year together.
However, the Geelong heartthrob is well and truly back in the dating game, sharing his likes and dislikes with his army of followers.
Smith is considered one of the AFL’s most marketable players, thanks to his striking looks, strong social media following and high-profile endorsements.
The latest brand to enlist the Geelong star is dating app Tinder, with the platform posing a series of ‘would you rather’ questions relating to its new double date feature.
Tinder has secured Smith as an ambassador for the new feature, along with his best mate Angus Gorman.
‘All right, you guys know that I’ve been on Tinder trying out their new double date feature,’ he said.
‘They’ve hit me with some “would you rather” questions, so let’s do it.’
The first question was, ‘Would you rather your double dates show up in matching outfits OR you and your mate do?’

‘I’d rather “Gorms” [best mate Angus Gorman] and I be in matching outfits, which we kind of dress similar anyway,’ Bailey replied.
Next up, ‘would you rather your date matched with your sibling last week OR a close friend?’.
‘Friend, hands down, that’s already happened before. But definitely not my brother or sister,’ Bailey said.
The questions started getting a little bit more curious, with the dating platform asking ‘would you rather your dates bring their pets or their parents?’.
Bailey replied: ‘I’d rather them bring their pet than their parents, keep your parents at home’.
‘I think pets are a green flag, to be honest.’
Next cab off the rank: ‘would you rather your dates take you to karaoke OR want to film a TikTok dance?’.
‘Pretty tough one, they both don’t sound great,’ Bailey conceded.
‘I would probably go with karaoke. I don’t have a great voice, but I will make it work somehow.’
The questions started to ramp up, with Bailey asked: ‘would you rather your dates speak in a secret language OR argue the whole time?’
‘I reckon argue the whole time,’ he replied.
‘Drama is pretty entertaining so sit back and watch that I reckon.’
Next up: ‘would you rather run into your ex on the date OR run into your mum?’.
‘I would rather run into my mum than my ex on a double date, or a date in general, to be honest,’ Bailey said.
‘My mum would probably have a few drinks with us and do a nice little screening test.’
‘It’s honestly probably easier to flag a dating risk when you’ve got your best mate with you,’ he concluded.
‘So thanks Tinder.’
