The 2024 season of The Block was a tumultuous experience for engaged couple Jesse and Paige, who made the difficult decision to depart the show early due to the toll the show had on Paige’s mental health.
After making the difficult decision to postpone their wedding due to “unforeseen circumstances,” the lovebirds married in Paris, France.
Taking to Instagram on November 25, Paige took to Instagram to share a snap dressed in their stunning wedding attire.
“Husband and Wife ♥️,” she captioned the post.
Sharing the big news
The newlyweds talked to Yahoo Lifestyle to reveal why they travelled to Paris to elope.
“Paris holds a special place in our relationship – it’s a city we like to visit often, it’s a city that is intimate, timeless and romantic,” Paige said. “Eloping felt like the most authentic way to celebrate our love and this commitment we were both ready to make to one another.”
Fans were disappointed when they original heard the Perth-based couple decided to postpone the big day. However, Yahoo Lifestyle alleged they made such decisions before The Block started airing in August.
“They haven’t told anyone from The Block about their relationship update and their co-stars have no idea,” a source told the publication.
Jesse and Paige also allegedly sent a letter to their guests informing them of the news.
“Dearest friends and beloved family, it is with profound contemplation that we are reaching out to you today and we hope this message finds you well,” the message began.
“Life, in its unpredictable course, has presented us with unforeseen circumstances that have led us to the decision to postpone our upcoming wedding on 12 December 2024.
“Whilst we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating our love and commitment with you all; we believe it is essential to acknowledge when a moment is not right, and this year, it is not.
“We extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment this news may bring. Your understanding and support mean the world to us.
“A new date for our celebration is unknown at this time, but we will keep you abreast of any rescheduling in the future.
“We are eternally grateful for your continued presence in our lives and we will keep you updated on everything that happens in between.”
The note was signed off with a message of “love and gratitude” from the couple.
Are Jesse and Paige still together?
Jesse and Paige had a rocky on-screen relationship while on The Block, leading fans to speculate whether they were still together following their early departure.
Despite postponing their wedding, the couple are still in a relationship and even admitted to Yahoo! Lifestyle that the show actually brought them closer together.
“We actually walked away quite closer. That’s what’s insane, we walked away from The Block closer,” Jesse shared. “Not one bit did we ever question our relationship. For me, I just questioned parts of myself and how I can be a better person in general.”
