The Block stars Paige Beechey and Jesse Maguire have officially called off their wedding in December, following speculation their engagement was in trouble.
The engaged couple, who were dubbed series ‘villains’ and exited earlier this month after producers intervened during a heated argument, sent their wedding guests a sad note revealing the ceremony was off.
‘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 note began.
The pair added they had decided it was not the right time for them to exchange vows and were postponing the event for a later, unspecified, time.
‘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.’
The couple are still believed to be together and recently told Yahoo Lifestyle that their controversial and heated appearance on The Block actually strengthened their relationship.
‘It’s insane, we walked away from The Block closer,’ Jesse said.

‘Not one bit did we ever question our relationship. For me, I just questioned parts of myself and how I can be a better person in general,’ Jesse added and Paige agreed.
The couple’s stint on the show was marked by infighting and bickering, as they continually – and loudly – disagreed on effective home renovation strategies.
After seeking professional help, the couple cited mental health stress as they gave up their place on the competition, with their exit prompting conversation about the show’s care policies.

Paige has since hit out at producers about her ‘horrific’ experience on the show, while a 2023 contestant took aim at the program’s aftercare.
In light of the controversy, it has now been claimed that Channel Nine are reviewing their mental health policies across the board to prevent another dramatic incident.
‘After that episode of The Block an unexpected chain of events kicked off after a mental health warning featured prior to the show starting,’ a source exclusively told Daily Mail Australia.
