Tammy Hembrow's wedding message to ex-fiancé draws mixed reactions
Tammy Hembrow congratulated her ex-fiancé Matt Poole on his wedding to Annelyse Oatway in Sydney.
She wrote “Congrats fam!!”
in a social media comment, prompting one user to say the word “fam” was not appropriate.
Other commenters defended her message, saying Hembrow and Poole remain connected through their daughter, Posy.

Poole and Oatway communicate with Hembrow about Posy, including arrangements for calls, events and handovers.
Oatway has said their conversations focus on caring for the child rather than socialising.
