The Block is famously a renovation show, not a dating show… but rumours have been running WILD about two contestants gettin’ it on behind the scenes. The cheating scandal is so juicy and I’ve been trawling through all the evidence popping up left, right and centre. So, let’s get stuck in.
Rumours of an affair first surfaced when Woman’s Day reported that something “shatters” Kylie Baker and husband Brad’s relationship during the latter part of the season. Considering Kylie apparently quits the show in a dramatic fashion verrrry soon, this all lines up.
“Things got out of hand and the ramifications have continued on,” the source said. “Kylie has told friends she won’t be mentioning her former neighbour by name ever.”
A So Dramatic! source then reported that the co-star in question was newly married Mimi Belperio.
“Kylie walked in on Brad in a compromising position with Mimi. They weren’t doing anything physical. They were flirting and being a little too friendly. But the fact everyone was drunk didn’t help the situation,” they claimed.
However, a separate insider also told the publication that Mimi wasn’t at fault, and her husband Kristian Belperio isn’t pissed at his wife.
“It was Brad flirting with her and making a move. It wasn’t reciprocated from her end,” they said.
Told you it was spicy!!!
Sisters Charlotte and Maddy Harry then added fuel to the fire by confirming something ~scandalous~ did indeed go down on The Block. While chatting to Carly Portch on HIT WA’s Allan & Carly, Charlotte told viewers to “stay tuned”.
“We don’t want to speak on it specifically because it’s people’s real lives at stake and we weren’t obviously there, so we don’t know full details,” Maddy chimed in.
“But I think, yeah, look, things hap – something happened. But we’re probably not the right people to speak on it.”
SO CRYPTIC!
While there’s lots of insider info pointing to Kylie and Brad splitting for good, this could be hearsay. A separate source told Yahoo! Lifestyle that watching The Block together has actually been cathartic for the couple, and they’ve been bonding over it.
“The relationship was in tatters when they left The Block but this whole experience of watching it back and only having each other as a reference point has actually been quite healing,” the insider claimed.
“No one really knows what happened on Phillip Island unless you were there and while many friends thought reliving some of the painful parts of their struggles would split them further apart, it has done the opposite.”
Kylie and Brad have also recently been spotted posing with some fans near Phillip Island at the Kilcunda Ocean View Hotel. They could be just really friendly exes, but I reckon they’re back together.
Maybe all the rumours have been a smart way to drum up drama and ratings for the show? Or perhaps something really *did* go down, and it has been smoothed over since filming wrapped.
Either way, I’m still invested. I need Kylie and Brad to fess up and spill the tea!
