The last two years have been a rollercoaster for Luke Packham – but he’s never been happier.
After finding fame on the 2019 season of Love Island, the 28-year-old went on to star on the explosive current season of The Block alongside his twin brother Josh.
Though he didn’t find love on Love Island, Luke soon went Instagram with girlfriend Olivia, a lawyer who has managed to remain largely out of the public spotlight, back in December 2019 when the seasoned reality TV star shared an intimate photo of the two sharing a kiss.
Just a few months later in October 2020, the couple announced their engagement via social media.
In October 2021, the good news kept coming! Luke announced exclusively to Woman’s Day that he was expecting his first child with his fiancée.
The two admitted they wanted to get married before their baby girl is born, but just like one of their gruelling challenges on The Block, COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works.
In celebration of their two exciting milestones, we’ve compiled photos of the couple’s sweetest moments.
Luke and his wife-to-be made their Instagram debut in December 2019 when the Love Island star shared an intimate photo of the two sharing a kiss.
The happy couple got engaged on a boat during a holiday to Byron Bay in October last year.
“Took this girl diving today and popped the question at the bottom of the ocean! Was a moment I will remember forever. #engaged #wifetobe,” Luke sweetly captioned this post.
While she has enjoyed staying out of the spotlight, Olivia said she was shocked when her name was thrown into the headlines after she was accused of helping the twins out with styling one of their bedrooms on The Block.
Olivia has become fiercely protective of Luke since The Block began airing, and acknowledges that the man she’s seeing on TV isn’t necessarily the one she knows.
“I think they’ve really pushed this narrative that they’re party boys, but what they’re forgetting is that they just did 12 weeks of solid work, they weren’t there to mess around,” she said.
Olivia has fit into the Packham family seamlessly, and enjoyed a holiday to the Hunter Valley with Luke’s loved ones in December 2020.
Luke and Olivia said that while the pregnancy was unplanned, they couldn’t be happier.
“We were looking at a few wedding venues, but then the pandemic and The Block happened, so we put it on hold, and shortly after that Olivia was pregnant!” Luke said.
They can’t wait to meet their bundle of joy in 2022.
When asked if he’s nervous about losing his twin to a new wife and a baby, Josh said: “Liv knows when you marry a twin, it’s a package deal, so she’s going to have to deal with me quite a lot as well!”
Luke has predicted he and Olivia will end up having three girls together.

Luke and Cassie Lansdell enjoyed a short-lived romance after leaving the Love Island villa in 2019, but their relationship only last a few weeks outside the show.
Luke and his brother Josh came in hot as intruders on the second season of Love Island.
