Three years after breaking up with his ex-wife and former The Block partner Dea, Darren Jolly couldn’t be more content.
Aside from making just $10,000 profit on their home on The Block: Glasshouse in 2015, Dea and Darren were best known for their massive blow-ups so it came as no surprise to viewers when the pair broke up in September 2019.
The split came three years after returning for The Block Triple Threat where they took home $935,000.
Since the split, Darren – who shares two daughters with Dea – has found love with Lucy Porter.
Darren and Lucy went public with their relationship in November 2020 – and haven’t looked back since!
The happy couple welcomed their first child together, a girl named Olive Rita Porter Jolly, in June 2022.

In November 2020, Darren confirmed his romance with Lucy by sharing this loved-up selfie during a coastal holiday.
A month before going public, Darren shared a concerning Instagram post claiming he could not “go on much longer”. Following this, Darren’s mother praised Lucy for helping him through the rough time.
“First of all we wish to thank the concerted efforts of Lucy,” Jacinta Jolly wrote in a Facebook post. “As his parents, this has been the most terrifying 24 hours we’ve ever had to endure.”
Does Lucy have a stint on The Block on the horizon? In April 2021, Darren snapped this sweet photo with the caption: “She’s not bad on the tools!!”
“Welcome to the world beautiful Olive Rita Porter Jolly. You are such a special gift and we love you so much!! ❤️” Darren captioned this post following Olive’s arrival in June 2022.
Little Olive was born in St John of God Ballarat Hospital.
