Tammy Hembrow, a well-known Australian Instagram influencer and fitness star, has recently made some major claims when it comes to people slidings into her DMs and it has people all over the world trying to solve the mystery like a Sherlock Holmes novel.

Hembrow has her own podcast that she stars in, along with her two sisters, Emilee and Amy, titled 'Hanging with the Hembrows'. During their most recent episode, they discussed the famous celebrities that have tried to shoot Tammy some messages, along with the professional sports team that is making a concerted effort to make a personal connection.

Hembrow has been around for a while and isn't a new face to the Instagram platform. In fact, her life as of the last few years has been heavily documented and she's close friends with the Kardashian-Jenner family.

Nonetheless, her name has been in the headlines lately for trying to raise money to provide relief for the Australian wildfires in quite an unconventional way. She was using personal nude pictures of herself in exchange for donations, very similarily to another Instagram influencer that had her account officially shut down for violating the term of service within the platform.

Regardless, she's back in the headlines, primarily due to her recent podcast where she discussed the famous people who have been flocking into her DMs on Instagram, and honestly, it's worth a whole story to itself.

The 25-year-old Instagram star opened up about the number of DMs she's been receiving from athletes around the world, and with over 10 million followers, it doesn't sound very farfetched. While she admits that she gets plenty of people sending her direct messages, for some reason, she has a propensity for naturally attracting athletes.

In her podcast, Hanging out with the Hembrows, she shared the most recent phenomena to hit her inbox. A whole sports team has tried to privately message her, although she wouldn't share what team that was. She did offer some insight into what was going on by saying, "I swear to God, every single athlete in the world has slipped into my DMs."

Instead of identifying the professional sports team that the athletes were affiliated with, she read one of the DMs. "Are you still with yours? Asking for a friend," she said reading a message from her phone.

The influencer then smiled and shared, "Everyone who’s on that whole team has messaged me." However, Hembrow admitted that she usually doesn't respond to people who send her direct messages, although she has sparingly responded to some in the past. She shared that if it's a celebrity or musician, she'll usually respond and at least let them take her out on a date.

There has been tons of speculation regarding who that possible team could be and what specific individuals. One major target that social media has looked to is fellow Australian and Philadelphia 76ers star, Ben Simmons. While it's simply speculation, it's also worth noting that Simmons has had other relationships with Instagram influencers and models including Kendall Jenner. Perhaps we'll never know who it was, but it's an interesting revelation, especially with multiple guys on the same team going after Hembrow at the same time.

Hembrow's popularity, maybe not for the best, skyrocketed when she was photographed being carried out on a stretcher following Kylie Jenner's 21st birthday party. The influencer claims that she was embarrassed, but that everything stemmed from exhaustion that she had leading up to the event, hence her need for hospitalization.
