"OK guys, I took a little pause or break or whatever you want to call it from social media," Matt began.

"I just haven't been on in a while because I just got over just the people, I know it's not everyone so I'm not blaming everyone but there's a lot of people that comment negative stuff and they want to see people fail, things fail."

Tammy, who boasts a 17 million-strong Instagram following, is often thought of as Australia's most well-known influencer.

The pair struck up a romance after Matt slid into Tammy's DMs. Matt "hard launched" his relationship with her in a sweet Instagram post in October 2023.

By December 2023, the couple were engaged with Matt getting down on one knee on a beach in the Maldives.

The proposal included a romantic dinner next to the ocean, with sand formed into the shape of a heart and fairy lights and candles surrounding the couple.

Matt and Tammy officially tied the knot in November 2024 and celebrated with a lavish Byron Bay celebration.
