They’re The Block fan favourites who welcomed son Ziya Christopher into the world in October last year.
But the new bundle of joy hasn’t stopped former reality TV stars Kyal and Kara Demmrich from taking on a new renovation project.
Speaking to Today Extra on Tuesday, the couple admitted the work was ‘ten times harder’ with their son, who turns one next week, in the picture.
‘With him in the mix everything seems to take longer’: In an interview with Today Extra on Tuesday, The Block fan favourites Kyal (left) and Kara (right) admitted renovating has become a lot harder since they welcomed son Ziya Christopher into the world in October last year
In an interview with hosts David Campbell and Sonia Kruger, Kyal said their latest project is a house close to their home in Long Jetty, New South Wales and they’re tackling it a little differently than usual.
‘That is the first renovation that we have done without living in [the property] which is a luxury,’ Kyal said.
‘We have a baby but it is ten times harder.’
He added the location is convenient for the family, explaining: ‘It is great for Kara because she can walk to the site and bring him along.

Kyal, who competed with Kara in The Block’s 2014 season, also divulged he had underestimated how much work their child would be – especially while taking on such a huge renovation task.
‘It is a big project, probably the biggest that we have done so far. It is really exciting,’ he said.
‘Especially with him in the mix everything seems to take longer. I didn’t realise how full-time parenting could be.’

Since Kara gave birth to their firstborn in October, the proud parents have taken to social media to share adorable images of the youngster, including the announcement of his arrival.
The couple revealed Ziya Christopher was born weighing 3.85 kg alongside a photo of the newborn rugged up in a baby blanket at a hospital.
‘Here he is! Ziya Christopher Demmrich. Weighing 8.5 lbs. 51cm long. Best miracle I’ve ever seen.’ Kara captioned the snap.
