Kylie and Brad are a formidable duo on The Block Australia in 2024.
The parents-of-four have both experience and passion, which they’re hoping can help them go all the way.
Kylie and Brad make up the green team this year, which is fitting due to the colour of Kylie’s vibrant hair.
The couple are from Cairns in Queensland, and their shared strong-will, determination and hard work are sure to set them up for success.
Kylie and Brad built the home they currently live in in Far North Queensland, and they’re keen to give anything a go on The Block.
“I will have a go at everything. I can handle a hammer and a drill and I’m not afraid to use it,” Kylie said.
As parents to four young children, they’re used to chaos, ever-changing plans, and having to think quickly on their feet.
Speaking on how they juggle their personal and professional lives, Brad said, “I don’t think Kylie has had more than three days off from the kids.
“I used to just take them to work,” Kylie added. “It’s hard to juggle, but it’s possible.”
Along with being a mum, Kylie is a hairdresser. She also runs a wholesale business selling hair products with her mother.
“I’ve been a hairdresser for 20 years, but I want to step back and focus more on the wholesale business in the future,” she said.
The 37-year-old is a very strong-willed and feisty person. She will stop at nothing to achieve what she sets her mind to. She’s also not afraid to say what she thinks.
Meanwhile, Brad is the more reserved one in the relationship, but he’s no stranger to hard work.
The 32-year-old is both an electrician and a plumber. He also runs his own business, which gives the pair a huge advantage on The Block.
He also has a passion for lighting, and hopes his expertise will help them succeed this season.
“Lighting to me is like architecture. That was a real strength for Steph and Gian last year and I hope it will be my strength this year,” he said.
Are Kylie and Brad still together?
Kylie and Brad have been together for nearly a decade, which means it’s fair to say they know each other pretty well.
But that’s not to say they haven’t been through ups and downs on The Block so far. They’ve had their fair share of disagreements and arguments, and fans have questioned whether they’ll be able to make it to the end.
In August, a source allegedly informed Woman’s Day that Brad moved out of the family home shared with their four children. However, fellow contestants Courtney and Grant have confirmed that Kylie and Brad are still in a relationship.
“They’re very much still together. We saw them a couple of weeks ago for an event,” Courtney said on HIT WA’s Allan & Carly. “I’m not as close with Kylie… [but] we’re all still friends and yeah, they’re still together.”
Fans also spotted the Cairns-based duo together at the 2024 Melbourne Cup alongside their fellow Blockheads. The sighting prompted further speculation from fdathat they’re still married.
