Following their reality stint, the couple embarked on a sabbatical to Byron Bay and have started a building and design business together, J&E Projects.
Elyse has worked as a model for years, appearing in campaigns for brands such as Seafolly, before she became a Myer ambassador in 2018 following her time on The Block.
