The Block couple calls off wedding
The Block couple Paige Beechey and Jesse Maguire have called off their wedding following their abrupt exit from the show earlier this month.
The Perth-based couple have reportedly sent their wedding guests a note informing them that their wedding has been postponed, with no new date confirmed.
“Dear friends and family, life, in its unpredictable course, has presented us with unforeseen circumstances that has led us to postpone our upcoming wedding on 12 December,” the message read, according to Yahoo Lifestyle.
“While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating our love and commitment with you all, we believe it is essential to acknowledge when a moment is not right. This year, it is not.
“We extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience and disappointment this news may bring. A new date for our celebration is unknown at this time, but we will keep you abreast of any rescheduling.”
Despite their decision it is understood that the couple are still together, even telling the outlet that their reality TV appearance had brought them "closer" together.
The couple were branded this season's "villains" due to their multiple on-screen arguments, with the show’s executive producer Justin Sturzaker forced to step in after their tensions escalated one night, and the couple were recorded yelling at each other.
After reaching out to the counselling services on the show, the couple eventually decided to quit the show.
“We feel as though you need to get to a place that’s out of here, to take care of yourself,” he told the couple, adding that their departure was “for the best", The Block host Scott Cam said during their final farewell.
Cam also added that it was the couple's decision to leave and "we didn't force them out".
"They made the decision they wanted to go home. We followed it up with professional care in their home state for as long as they needed it.”
