Amy Pejkovic recently confirmed her shock split from former AFL star David Zaharakis after four years together.
Now the Australian high jumper and model and TV host, 31, has spoken about her new reality of being single in her thirties.
Sharing a TikTok video, titled ‘Single at 31,’ Pejkovic said she’s “embarrassed” at the fact she’s single again and living at home with her parents post-split.

”I am single and 31 and that is definitely not something I thought I would ever be saying,” she said in the candid TikTok video.
”When I was younger I thought I would be married and have kids and a house at 31. Instead, my partner of four years and I have decided to go our separate ways.
“I’ve moved back to Sydney in with my parents and am being treated like a 14-year-old!”
She said it’s “embarrassing” and “a hard pill to swallow” as most of her friends have settled down and married with their own families.

“It feels embarrassing… I look at myself and I am just not where I thought I would be. It’s a hard pill to swallow. Especially moving into my parents’ house,” she said.
“I’m waiting for the part where I get excited about life and the next chapter. I just want people to know they’re not alone.”
An overwhelming number of fans shared their support for the sports star and model in the comments section.
“There’s no shame in taking shelter with your parents while you recover,” one person wrote.

Another kindly added: “As a 31 married woman with a baby, ROMANTICISE YOUR OWN LIFE, the grass is greener where you water it. You are not missing out, happiness is an inside job. Don’t compare your life to others.”
Another wrote: “31 is so young babe! You’re gorgeous ♥️.”
It comes after Pejkovic confirmed the couple’s split to The Herald Sun.
“We decided we’d be better as friends,” she said.
“I’m proud of how we’ve handled it.
“We weren’t as compatible as we thought we were. I loved him with all my heart and I have so much admiration for him and still love him.”

Pejkovic previously battled a brain tumour which was later removed but shattered her Olympic dream.
“Sometimes I wonder If I should give this another red hot crack,” she wrote underneath a picture of herself high jumping.
Before dating Zaharakis, she had a high-profile relationship with AFL star Adam Tomlinson
