Babies and a Gold Coast wedding: What the most iconic The Block contestants are doing now.

To get up to speed on everything The Block 2025, check out our The Block hub page. We've got you covered.

Before there were rose ceremonies and bula banquets, we became obsessed with a different kind of reality show. One with hard hats, hammers and, of course, a whole lot of drama. Yep, we're talking about The Block.

We thought we'd take a look at what some of our favourite contestants are doing now.

Watch: The Block's Shelley Craft shares her interior decorating tips. Post continues below.

Here's what these Blockheads are up to in 2025.

Maddy and Charlotte Harry.

Maddy and Charlotte became the youngest-ever winners of The Block in 2024.

Their late arrival — replacing Jesse and Paige just four weeks in — sparked a mix of confused reactions from fans and fellow contestants.

Their victory — which saw them pocket a record-breaking $1.65m — turned out to be a controversial one, as they were essentially crowned by billionaire Adrian Portelli, who purchased all five houses so he could select which pair he gave the highest bid to.

After The Block, Maddy and Charlotte wasted no time getting back to what they love: property and renovations. They are actively working on several new renovation projects, with a particular focus on one renovation project, nicknamed 'The Challenge House' in Newcastle, New South Wales.

In 2025, the sisters officially launched a YouTube channel focused on their Newcastle renovation journey.

The series invites subscribers to follow each stage of the build, learn practical DIY tips, and see the challenges that pop up for two young women making their mark in Australian real estate.

Both Maddy and Charlotte remain active on Instagram too, sharing project updates, daily life snippets, home styling tips, and occasionally, reflections on their Block experience.

Kylie and Brad Baker.

Kylie, with her bright hair and fiery personality, and Brad, the controversial tradie, were known for their strong opinions and chaotic moments.

The no-nonsense Kylie became a polarising figure, especially after a dramatic exchange with host Scott Cam.

In one of the most talked-about moments from The Block 2024, Brad became embroiled in a 'flirting scandal' with fellow contestant Mimi Belperio, which both shocked viewers and pushed his marriage with Kylie to its breaking point.

In the fallout, Kylie packed her bags and left The Block, dumping her belongings in a car park and flying home to Cairns.

After a brief return for the sake of finishing their home, tensions persisted. Then, in the final week of filming, Kylie walked out for good, with Brad leaving alongside her.

After a rocky few months, the couple confirmed they were together during public appearances at the Melbourne Cup and a televised interview.

With that being said, however, Kylie hasn't shared a photo with Brad since last year, so it's not entirely clear what their relationship status is right now.

Kylie continues managing her hair business in Queensland, while Brad is focusing on his dual trades as an electrician and plumber. They are both embracing life outside the spotlight, focusing on their family.

Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey.

Jesse might be a trained carpenter, but The Block was the first full-scale renovation he ever tackled. On the show, Paige's eye for style leaned towards a "coastal grandma" aesthetic.

Entering as the youngest team, Jesse and Paige's relatability made them immediate standouts until mounting behind-the-scenes pressures shifted their trajectory.

After a heated argument that was overheard by other contestants and prompted producers to intervene, the couple made the difficult decision to leave The Block in order to prioritise Paige's wellbeing.

Their departure was supported by host Scott Cam and fellow contestants, but also sparked controversy and rumours of a not-so-voluntary exit.

After their departure, Paige questioned the edit the couple had receives on The Block.

"I think a lot of people have seen through this narrative that just doesn't make sense," Paige said on TikTok.

"They had a narrative because they start editing whilst we're filming. So, they had a narrative ready to go and my mental health didn't fit in that box. So, whilst you see this one narrative on TV, we were living this complete other narrative."

The Block host Scotty Cam said in a 9Now video that their exit came down to "duty of care" but added that the show "didn't force them out".

Despite the chaos, Jesse and Paige remained very much still together.

After originally postponing their 2024 wedding because of "unforeseen circumstances," they later eloped in Paris, sharing happy snaps and "husband and wife" announcements on social media.

Jesse and Paige posted behind-the-scenes wedding photos on Instagram, with fellow Block contestants offering congratulations in the comments.

Dylan Adams and Jenny Heath Adams.

Dylan and Jenny competed on Season 18 of The Block, where pairs were required to renovate multi-million dollar properties in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria.

The couple were up for the challenge, with Dylan coming from a trade background. Meanwhile, Jenny had also been styling, decorating and renovating her own house on the Gold Coast.

While the pair didn't have the smoothest journey on The Block, the couple did eventually sell their property, three months after it was passed in at auction.

In March 2023, Dylan and Jenny tied the knot.

"We always knew our wedding day would be the best day of our lives," Jenny wrote on Instagram following their Gold Coast wedding. "We honestly had the most amazing ceremony [and] reception. Lots of laughs, tears, love, dancing, singing and pure joy the entire day. Couldn’t picture a more perfect day if we tried..."

And following their wedding, Dylan and Jenny announced they were expecting a baby!

Billy Heath Adams was born on July 24, with the couple posting the news on Instagram.

"HELLO WORLD I'M HERE," they captioned the photo. "I'm a happy healthy bubba, mums [sic] recovering well, dads [sic] taking care of us."

"Life seriously doesn’t get much better than this. Our hearts are full," they shared one week later.

The duo, who run their own construction business, 'Dylan and Jenny Projects', have skillfully juggled new parenthood and renovation plans.

This year, Dylan and Jenny purchased a 1990s-era fixer-upper unit in Coolangatta for $920,000 — less than the suburb's median price.

Tom Calleja and Sarah-Jane Wilson.

The Block 2022 stars Tom and Sarah renovated a massive property in the Macedon Ranges. Unfortunately, the pair had a disappointing end to the show as they walked away with only $20,000 profit.

But back home, things were looking up. In April 2023 they announced they were expecting their second child.

"So excited to announce BABY CALLEJA no.2 is incoming October 2023. We feel so blessed and we are already so in love," the pair wrote.

Their son, Drew, was born on October 27 and instantly became a big hit with his big sister, Cleo.

In 2023, Tom worked as a plumber on The Block, where he was every bit of the larrikin he was in his own season.

Sharon Johal and Ankur Dogra.

In 2022, actor and lawyer Sharon came on to The Block with her accountant husband, Ankur. They were about as rookie as they could get, but that didn't stop them from building the biggest house the series had ever seen.

The pair didn't sell their house at auction but eventually sold it to Adrian Portelli for $4.25 million — leaving them with a profit of $170,000.

These days, the couple have returned to their 'normal' jobs, although they'll never quite forget their time on The Block.

"We wanted representation in Australia. It's something I've worked towards my whole career as the first Punjabi Sikh on Neighbours," Sharon previously told Mamamia.

"I think [producers] saw that and said, 'You know what? They're willing to give it a crack. They want to live the Australian dream and try something different.'"

Sharon has since returned to acting, holding a role on the Apple TV limited series Shantaram. She also appeared in the Prime Video film Ricky Stanicky, starring Zac Efron and John Cena, and Season 2 of The Twelve on Binge.

She's also quite the fashionista, and has walked red carpets at some of Australia's most exclusive fashion events. Crushing it!

Josh and Luke Packham.

In 2021, Josh and Luke competed for the chance to win with their modern Melbourne home. They sold their place for an impressive $3.93 million and took home a profit of $530,000.

Previously, the twin brothers appeared on Love Island Australia, where Josh took home the $50,000 winner's prize money with his then-girlfriend Anna McEvoy.

In January 2023, Luke married his long-term partner Olivia, with whom he shares a daughter, Mia.

In 2022, Josh switched from contestant to TV presenter and became one of three hosts of the new lifestyle series Australia's Best Pools.

The Hampton house the twins renovated on The Block 2021 returned to the market in July 2024, with a guide price of $3.9–$4.1million. The design remains as the Packham boys left it.

Dan Reilly and Dani Wales.

Fans will no doubt recognise former The Block contestant Dan Reilly.

Dan competed on the show in 2012 and 2013 with his partner Dani, and now works as the site foreman.

After the show, the couple, who also starred in the web series Dan vs Dani, launched their very own design business called MannaMade (previously The Red Door Project).

Dan still continues to be the beloved and tough-loving (but not as tough as Keith!) foreman on The Block.

Six years ago, the couple began building their dream house in Blairgowrie, Victoria and finally wrapped it up in 2022. But there's more exciting news.

In July 2024, Dan and Dani announced they were expecting their first child. Their baby girl, Billie Vera Reilly, was born in December but tragically passed away just 10 days after being born.

They have since founded Billie's Besties Fund, a fund created in partnership with the Royal Women's Hospital NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).

Dan and Dani have said the fund was created "to honour Billie's memory by giving back to the people who gave us her very first and last cuddles."

Dan continues as Head Foreman on The Block, stepping up solo for the 2025 season after Foreman Keith retired to be closer to family. Dani has been by his side during filming in Daylesford.

Josh and Jenna Densten.

Josh and Jenna famously got engaged on The Block back in 2011. Josh proposed the same night their house failed to sell at the auction.

Speaking to Mamamia, Jenna said the surprise proposal "put things into perspective for me".

"We were so worried about the house and then Josh proposed, and it makes you realise that's our life, it’s not The Block."

Their house was sold a few days later and ultimately made them a $50,000 profit. The pair later competed on The Block All Stars in 2013, where they took home $275,000 in total winnings.

The couple tied the knot in 2012. They welcomed their first child, Freddie, in 2017, and their second, a daughter named Story, in 2020.

Since the show, Josh and Jenna have started their own design school, where they take on 70 students at a time. They currently work together with their own business called Plan Proofing for people undertaking renovation projects.

Fun fact: Josh is the brother of Gogglebox's Adam Densten.

Alisa and Lysandra Fraser.

Twin cops Alisa and Lysandra earned themselves $395,000 in profit when they won The Block in 2013. They also competed on the show again in 2014 for The Block Fans vs Faves, but lost out to Steve O'Donnell and Chantelle Ford.

But they didn't walk away completely empty-handed — they've made $1.01 million from The Block, which makes them some of the show's most successful contestants.

Since the show, the sisters have kept busy running their successful design business and have worked together to renovate a heritage home in Melbourne's Albert Park.

In 2020, they launched their own naturally-derived range of hand and body products called Al.ive Body.

Alisa and Lysandra are both mums to two boys each.

On the 18th season of The Block, the duo featured in one episode as guest judges.

Josh Barker and Elyse Knowles.

Josh and Elyse took home $547,000 in prize money after comedian Dave Hughes bought their Elsternwick property for a casual $3.06 million in 2017.

Speaking to Mamamia the following year, model Elyse said she considered backing out of The Block.

"We worked so hard to get on the show, and then we found out we got in, and we kind of had this shock feeling of, 'Oh my God. Imagine if this is going to have a negative effect on my career. I've been working so hard since I was 10 years old on modelling, is this going to make me or break me?' It was a really big chance that I took," she said.

Thankfully, it all paid off.

In 2019, the couple moved to Byron Bay and purchased a 1960s beach house — the perfect renovation project for the couple and their business, J & E Projects.

Josh Barker and Elyse Knowles are engaged and happily raising three children — Sunny, Zaii, and baby Java — but have not married yet.

Michael and Carlene Duffy.

Fans were left shocked when Michael and Carlen made only $10,000 in profit on The Block in 2014.

"We were so disappointed. It was hard to watch the next auction after us. And some of the other contestants were disappointed with more than a hundred grand!" Carlene told Stellar Magazine in 2019.

The following year, the couple appeared on the series Reno Rumble but were sadly the first team eliminated.

However, that wasn't the last we saw of Michael and Carlene.

The parents of two went on to host their very own reality series, Ready, Set, Reno and then Open Homes Australia.

The pair have also launched their own business, Cedar & Suede.

Dea and Darren Jolly.

Darren and Dea made Block history in Season 10 when they walked away with the largest amount of prize money. The builder and interior designer earned themselves an eye-watering $935,000 in profit.

Following their success on the show, they began flipping houses and spent 11 months renovating a worker's cottage in Kew East, Victoria, which they later sold for $2.9 million.

Unfortunately, the pair decided to go their separate ways in September 2019.

"This is a very difficult time for me and my girls," Dea said in a statement to the Herald Sun at the time.

"But I'm focusing on my two daughters, who are my number one priority. Please respect our privacy while we move on."

Since the split, Darren has moved on with Lucy Porter. They welcomed their first child together, a girl named Olive Rita Porter Jolly, in June 2022.

Kyal and Kara Demmrich.

Kyal and Kara have kept themselves busy after competing on The Block in 2014. The couple, who also appeared on Reno Rumble, run their own successful design company and in 2020, they renovated their very own 'forever home' for their family of four.

The house, which Kyal and Kara bought pre-children and pre-reality TV, was formerly a small beach shack on the New South Wales Central Coast, which they knew would someday be transformed into a tropical family oasis.

The pair documented the whole process on their blog and Instagram. And you can check out all the photos here.

Since wrapping up with The Block, the pair have completed over 35 renovation projects with their company, Kyal & Kara.

Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie.

Mitch and Mark didn't stop renovating after competing on The Block in 2019 and even made a return in the 17th season of the reality program. They eventually won, walking away with a profit of $744,000.

"It's been such a crazy ride. To say that we've won The Block is still strange," Mitch told Now To Love in 2021.

"We really do owe it all to The Block. The show has been a real gift," Mark also said.

"I think some people who do The Block, they finish and think, 'Okay, things will happen now,' but you have to go after it. We were never going to sit back and wait," he says.

After their stint on The Block, the pair started their own podcast, Reality Reno With Mitch And Mark, and revamped their homeware brand, Mitch and Mark Home.

Ronnie and Georgia Caceres.

Ronnie and Georgia launched their own renovation company after competing on The Block in 2017.

"It's called Renovation HQ. We work together to help people transform spaces in their home. Lots of people have been contacting us wanting to renovate small spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. [We've] been doing a lot of design consulting," they told Channel Nine.

The pair also hosted their own renovating series, Quick Room Flips, and made a guest appearance on The Block in 2018 before returning to the competition to compete again in 2021 for The Block: Fan vs Faves.

Ronnie and Georgia were projected to win the show but came last following a rather eventful auction episode.

These days, they're still renovating houses with their latest project doing their own 100-year old weatherboard cottage.
