Out of all the seasons of The Block Australia, there have been heaps of couples. And most of them are still together.
So the question remains is it The Block and its crazy lifestyle that bonds our favourite reality stars together forever? Or are only the strongest couples chosen to go on the show in the first place?
We’ve broken it down for you so keep scrolling to find out!
SEASON ONE COUPLES
Adam Thorn and Fiona Mills: Still together
After taking home a prize of $256,000, the season one winners wrote their very own renovation book, Adam and Fiona’s Renos On A Budget: How We Renovated Our Way To The Block and then started their own interior design and renovation consultancy business, ‘Design and Everything‘.
Adam noted they got a bit bored working with each other.
“We’d get home and all we’d talk about was work and money!” said Adam.
The pair then decided to pursue separate careers and Fiona, 35, now has a business in the beauty industry, while Adam works for Freedom Kitchens.

Elise and Matt: still together
8The couple brought a lot of enthusiasm to the show, completing the renovation with flying colours.

Jesse and Mel, St Kilda locals, knew the area (and the market) well. They had renovated together previously, which was a huge advantage in a competition like this. However, it wasn’t enough to get them the win.
Tess and Luke: still together
The couple had been together for eight years and had just recently tied the knot before going on the show. So basically, The Block was their honeymoon. That’s one way to test a marriage!
Throughout the season, they won the least amount of rooms. So when the lovebirds took out first place and pocketed $730,000, it was a win no one saw coming, not even themselves.
SEASON 16 COUPLES
Jimmy and Tam: still together
Not only did this couple win, but they set a new record! set a record. They made $966,000 in profit plus the $100,000 prize money for earning the highest profit at the auction. That made Jimmy and Tam instant millionaires, with a total of $1,066,000.

Daniel and Jade: still together

1Kirsty and Jesse have always been a rock-solid couple. And when it comes to their reno experience, the couple had a little.

This Melbourne couple was a source of some fiery arguments. But we loved them anyway!
SEASON 19 COUPLES

Lea and Ash: still together
Leah and Ash were one of the most experienced couples on the show in 2023. The Brisbane pair and parents of three ran their own business and had steadily worked their way through several home flips, including many of their own.
They even stepped away from their current (at the time) renovation – a dilapidated Queenslander – to go on the show!
Kristy and Brett: still together
Both from Adelaide, SA, the couple hoped their careers in the power and energy space would serve them well in this season of The Block. Kristy was competitive and Brett had a trade secret he wanted to keep close to his chest and away from the other contestants’ prying ears.
