New details have emerged about Reece Hawkins and London Goheen’s botched family holiday to Switzerland.
Hawkins, 26, who is the ex-fiancé of Gold Coast influencer Tammy Hembrow, has been travelling in Switzerland for some time, and his American wife Goheen, 23, had planned to visit him with their nine-month-son Stone last week.
However, these plans combusted when Goheen, who hails from Texas, was turned away at the border for being unvaccinated against Covid-19.

Switzerland recently imposed new rules restricting unvaccinated travellers from entering the country in response to the Omicron variant.
Hawkins had managed to enter the country despite also being unvaccinated because the rules hadn’t yet taken effect when he crossed the border.
Rather than leaving the country after learning his wife and child would not be joining him, Hawkins continued his whirlwind trip in Switzerland, leaving Goheen and Stone to fly back to their home in America without him.

After arriving back in the United States, Goheen told fans she was ‘exhausted, sleep deprived and had been crying all day’ in an emotional Instagram Story.
The bikini model said she’d booked her flight to Switzerland before the new vaccination laws were announced, and that she and Stone had travelled for 14 hours only to see Reece for two hours under police supervision.
The circumstances surrounding Reece and London’s trip were discussed on Monday’s episode of the Outspoken podcast, with co-host Kate Taeuber expressing little sympathy for the unvaccinated couple.

Upset: After arriving back in the United States, Goheen told fans she was ‘exhausted, sleep deprived and had been crying all day’ in an emotional Instagram Story
‘It’s hard not to feel sorry for baby Stone who has been dragged into all of this. But, to me, there’s a very obvious solution to this issue,’ Kate said.
‘If you want to jet-set around the world, get vaccinated. Not only can you travel, but you’re also protecting yourself and others from Covid. It all seems a little bit rich to complain about this situation.
Co-host Amy Taeuber agreed, pointing out that Hawkins’ decision to continue travelling ‘is really not a good look off the back of him leaving Australia and his two children that he shares with Tammy Hembrow behind’.

Hembrow and Hawkins were in a relationship for five years before splitting in 2018 and share son Wolf, six, and daughter Saskia, five.
Hawkins raised eyebrows last week after sharing a gallery of idyllic Instagram photos of himself enjoying his trip to Switzerland, confirming he was travelling alone.
Goheen commented beneath the post, ‘I love you’, to which her husband responded: ‘Miss you. Love you.’

Goheen added: ‘Ps you’re sooo hot & I’m so lucky ilysm [I love you so much].’
Last month, Hembrow appeared to confirm she has sole custody of the children she shares with Hawkins.
During an Instagram Q&A, the Queensland businesswoman was asked if she looks after her children full-time after her ex-fiancé relocated to the U.S. in July.
‘Do you look after Wolf and Sass full-time now?’ the fan asked, to which Tammy simply responded: ‘Yes.’

The Rich Lister also spoke about raising her two young children, saying: ‘My kids are quite a good age, and actually really well-behaved.’
‘I’ll bring Sass to a lot of my [work] meetings when Wolf is at school as she only goes a couple of days a week. Also having family around to help. My mum will help babysit.’
Hawkins and Goheen, who previously lived together on the Gold Coast but now reside in the U.S., married in December last year.
