Steph and Gian are childhood sweethearts who met on the school bus in year seven and have been together ever since.

They married in April 2022, at a lavish ceremony in the Hunter Valley.

Then in 2023 they became household names when they appeared on The Block Season 19.

The Sydney-siders quickly became known for their neutral colour palette and Japandi style and soon became competition frontrunners.

It all came to a head at Auction Day when they took home a record-breaking $1.75 million win.

Congrats Steph and Gian!
