The Block’s Jesse and Paige Maguire have shared a happy family update with fans, a year on from their dramatic time on the 2024 series of The Block.
Taking to Instagram, the couple announced they’re expecting their first child together, announcing the exciting news with the caption, “Family of four loading…”
The video showed Paige surprising Jesse with the news in a photoshoot moment with their dog, “Say ‘Paige is pregnant’!” Paige said as the camera was going off, with Jesse looking shocked and emotional, saying, “Are you serious?”
The news was met with a lot of excitement from their fans and former co-stars, with Kylie Baker writing, “Stop!!!!! Amazing news. You two will make the most incredible parents!! Plus best looking… miss you guys!”. Another former Block contestant Kristy Beames added, “Congratulations guys”.
What happened with Jesse and Paige on The Block?
Jesse and Paige competed on the 2024 season of The Block but quit halfway through the show to prioritise their mental health, after weeks of tension building. They became the first team in The Block history to leave the show midway through.
The intense pressure of the competition caused several heated arguments that led to producers intervening, with the couple undergoing a weekend counselling session before deciding to quit the show to focus on their well-being.
Paige later revealed that she and Jesse had called off their December 2024 wedding, leading to fans speculating that they had broken up. The couple later surprised everyone by eloping in Paris.
“Eloping felt like the most authentic way to celebrate our love and this commitment we were both ready to make to one another. A way to focus on what truly matters,” Paige told Yahoo Lifestyle at the time.
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
