“I get told to wait by everyone,” Elyse laughs.

“It’s not going to happen anytime soon. We’ve got so much happening in our lives that we couldn’t even 
think about that.”

Chatting to TV WEEK, Josh hints an engagement is on the cards – but not for awhile yet.

“Maybe after 10 years. 
That would be a good apprenticeship, wouldn’t it?” he jokes. “We’re happy with what we’re doing together 
at the moment.”

“Josh spent a week with Sticks and his wife Terri up at their home on the coast.

And he’s like, ‘Whoa! I don’t need a kid anytime soon,’” Elyse smiles.

After spending time with Sticks’ children, Josh is happy to wait a bit longer before having kids.

For now, the lovebirds are happy raising their fur child, a Weimaraner named Isla.
