Bailey Smith shied away from the cameras on Thursday as he attended the 2025 AFL Awards in Melbourne.
The footy star, who has been spotted on two dates with Gold Coast influencer Tammy Hembrow, opted to go under the radar by skipping the red carpet.
The 24-year-old Geelong Cats midfielder was later spotted inside Centrepiece at Melbourne Park chatting to guests, but his ladylove was nowhere to be seen.
Bailey cleaned up nicely in a black suit jacket and unbuttoned shirt.
He wore his signature long blonde locks loose on the night as he mingled with guests at the star-studded event.
Tammy, 31, was absent from Bailey’s arm despite being in Melbourne on Wednesday for ‘a little work’ and ‘a little play’.

The fitness influencer addressed her new romance with Bailey at a Sasha Therese fashion event, which was held at Maison Bâtard.
She described Bailey as a ‘sweetie’ and said he’s a ‘good guy’.
‘I’m here [in Melbourne] for a few things. A little work, a little play, a little bit of both,’ she told the Herald Sun.
‘I’m not going to say anything about Bailey except he’s a sweetie, he’s a good guy.’
She also wouldn’t comment on making an appearance at the 2025 Brownlow next month alongside the Geelong star.
Tammy sent fans into a tailspin after being spotted on multiple dates with Bailey earlier this month.
The AFL star flew from Melbourne to the Gold Coast two weekends in a row to woo the YouTuber.
The couple were first seen leaving hand-in-hand after a meal at swanky Asian fusion restaurant Rick Shores at Burleigh Heads before being caught making out at another restaurant.

The pair were more recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll to Nobby Beach, where the footy player appeared to have his arm wrapped around Tammy’s hips.
Since Tammy’s public appearances with the AFL star, her ex-husband Matt Zukowski has admitted he felt ‘hurt’ watching his former partner move on so quickly after their break-up.
The Love Island star also hinted he was the one to end things between them, despite speculation that Tammy was the one who ended it.
‘A couple of months ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life,’ he revealed on his Where’s Your Head At? podcast with Anna McEvoy.
‘I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me.’
Matt and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating and tied the knot almost a year later.
However, rumours of a split began to circulate earlier this year and, in June, the couple confirmed their split just seven months after marrying.
