Another photo showed the influencer posing in front of the same scene, hugging her three children tight.

There was also time for some sweet shopping too, with another shot showing her youngsters staring in wonderment through a local Queenstown candy shop window.

It wouldn’t be a winter escape without some skiing, and Tammy also shared a short clip of her flaunting her style on the slopes.

‘Christmas in July because who doesn’t love a lil winter Christmas magic?’ Tammy captioned the sweet snaps.

‘When I tell you my soul NEEDED thissss. Forever my favourite holiday. 

‘A reminder of warmth, family, the magic of slowing down & the joy that lives in the littlest moments. The cosiest first night in NZ w my babies!!’

The post was met with a flurry of comments from friends and followers, with one offering: ‘Glad you’re enjoying your time here Mama, you deserve it always, better days are coming, sending love.’

Another chimed in with a similar sentiment: ‘I love this for you guys! You’re an amazing mama and you’re doing a great job.’  

Tammy announced her shock split from Matt in an emotional video on Sunday. 

The Love Island Australia star also revealed the couple’s separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly.

‘It’s with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,’ Matt began.

‘Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children.

‘This wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,’ he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy.

Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup.

‘We appreciate everyone’s support and space at this time as we navigate the split,’ Matt concluded in his emotional post.

In a post shared to Instagram on Thursday, Tammy announced she was heading to Queenstown with her kids, before sharing footage of the family at the airport.

‘Errands before our lil getaway. Honestly this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time’ Tammy wrote in her caption.

‘Guys, give me all your Queenstown recommendations,’ she added alongside a series of images in which she posed alongside her car.

Tammy later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video, telling fans she would be getting a divorce.

‘I don’t want to get into the details, and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,’ she told fans.

‘Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever, and I blame no one but myself,’ Tammy continued while breaking down in tears.

‘I’ve made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I’m good at putting on rose-coloured glasses.

‘Obviously the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don’t care about me, I know I will be okay, but I feel awful.’
