The Block's Jesse and Paige reveal whether they are still together after shock exit from show following explosive argument

In the spirit of candor and transparency, it seems that Paige’s journey on the show was far from the idyllic love story depicted on screen. Her words echo the raw emotions that often lurk beneath the glossy veneer of reality TV. As a survivor of sexual assault, her third week in the house must have been a harrowing experience, with the intrusion into her personal space and sleep. It’s heartbreaking to hear that her pleas for consent and privacy were ignored.


As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share my excitement about the recent updates on the love lives of “The Block” sensations, Paige Beechey and Jesse Maguire. They’ve finally spilled the beans on their relationship status following their unexpected exit from the show.

The engaged couple, who were dubbed the 2024 ‘villains’, exited earlier this month after producers were forced to intervene during an explosive argument.

However the pair have revealed that the experience brought them closer than ever before. 

According to Jesse, it’s surprising that we ended up getting even closer by walking away from The Block, as he shared with Yahoo this week.

In the entirety of our bond, there was never a moment of doubt. What I often pondered instead, were aspects of my own character and ways to improve myself as an individual overall.

Paige agreed with her fiancé, telling the publication: ‘Likewise. ‘

Following consultation with a professional, the pair attributed their withdrawal from the contest to mental health pressures. This decision stirred discussions about the program’s support measures.

After the ordeal she faced on the show, Paige recently criticized the producers for what she calls a “terrible” experience. Meanwhile, a participant from this year’s season of The Block has publicly criticized the show’s post-production support.

Given the recent uproar, it’s being reported that Channel Nine is re-evaluating their comprehensive mental health guidelines in an effort to avoid any future distressing incidents.

According to a source who spoke exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, following Monday’s airing of The Block, an unforeseen sequence of incidents began when a caution about mental health was shown before the program commenced.

The network is interested in hearing about your experiences, and if you don’t share them, certain issues might not get the attention they deserve.

According to the source, it was reported that several past participants of The Block found themselves emotionally affected when Jesse and Paige left the show, prompting suggestions for them to consult with a mental health professional.

The ex-cast members of the series are reportedly mulling over the perceived insufficient backing they experienced during their tenure.

Previous contestants, it is said, have requested Channel Nine to cover the costs of psychological evaluations following their appearances on the show, over the course of various years.

The original source stated that it was primarily those who had previously competed on the Block who found Monday’s episode particularly engaging, and they noted that they hadn’t received a significant increase in viewer complaints.

Producers are reportedly examining the steps they took in the past to enhance the mental wellbeing of contestants on series like The Block and Married at First Sight, with a view to making improvements.

A representative from Nine and Cavalier Television stated that they prioritize the health and well-being of their program participants with utmost seriousness.

For any participant who desires or requires it, there’s an option for private and confidential psychological assistance offered by Nine.

As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t help but rave about this fantastic service! It opens up a unique opportunity for me and others to connect with experts – these clinicians are specifically selected to provide unparalleled support to us participants, focusing on our personal journeys within the program.

This service remains accessible to everyone involved throughout filming, airing, and even after the program concludes. It continues to be provided indefinitely, whenever needed by the participants.

After creating a stir with her dramatic departure, Paige decided to address the situation on TikTok, confessing that she was irritated by how she was portrayed in the series.

She fiercely criticized the producers over her ‘terrible’ time on the program, claiming they manipulated her segments to portray her as ‘unbalanced’.

In the first video, Paige expressed her feelings, saying something like, “I’ve been feeling quite frustrated, I believe I’ve faced a great deal this season and I haven’t had much to say about it.

However, the manner in which they dealt with that mental health situation felt more like an attempt by the show to capitalize on relevance, rather than a genuine and sensitive approach.

It’s quite apparent that they are intentionally moving towards a more aware or enlightened phase, which they seized upon in a way that seems strategically advantageous, but potentially detrimental to mental health.

Paige expressed that their four weeks on the program were incredibly fast-paced, yet the initial two weeks of filming ran smoothly for them.

She asserted that the duo maintained a positive working bond with the producers, whom she described as nicknaming her the “Energizer Bunny.” However, she noted that things took a turn after the editing process.

For a fortnight straight, I didn’t stumble, throw fits, pout, quarrel or encounter any issues at all, but evidently, that’s not the picture you all seem to have painted. – Paige explained.

In the initial fortnight, they constructed a version of events that didn’t align with what actually happened.

She stated that they accomplished it by inserting complete sentences into her speech, which is a practice we refer to as “Frankenbites,” she continued.

They were haphazardly gathering pieces from various places and carelessly merging them all into a single entity, ensuring everything fell within their desired context. However, it was painfully evident that the components didn’t align properly.

They appeared to be deliberately ending discussions to make it seem as if I was acting irrationally. Consequently, we were rather upset about the portrayal during the initial fortnight, leaving us puzzled and thinking, “Really?

She asserted that she endured a truly terrible ordeal during the third week of the show, as they transitioned from their tents to the fully constructed guest rooms.

In my expertise, I’d like to shed light on an intriguing matter: rumors surfaced suggesting that crew members were entering contestants’ quarters during early hours for filming purposes, even when they were asleep.

She asserted that in the mornings, without any previous notice, advance warning, or permission, the crew would enter our rooms while we were asleep and record us using a camera.

‘Being someone with a background with sexual assault, that was horrific.

Upon waking up, you find yourself in complete darkness within your bedroom. There are three ominous silhouettes, possibly two or three of them, looming over your bed, which is an incredibly frightening sight. This is the manner in which you start your day.

dailyMail Australia doesn’t imply that the producers had knowledge about Paige’s encounters with sexual assault while on set.

Paige mentioned that the supposed incident left her feeling anxious and developing an unease or suspiciousness.

Additionally, Paige expressed feeling dismayed due to the response from the producers when she shared about her struggling mental state.

In conclusion, she suggested that additional efforts should be made to ready participants for the encounter, as seen at the end of her videos.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for comment.
