The Block’s Shaynna Blaze reveals why she keeps her love life extremely private after split from husband of 18 years Steve Vaughan – as she stars in stunning shoot for Stellar Magazine

Shaynna Blaze has revealed she may be dating – but you won’t ever hear about it. 

The Block judge, who split with her husband back in 2018, wants to ensure her loved ones stay out of the spotlight. 

‘As much as I’m in the public, I am really private. I’ve never really put my personal life on any media platforms and I don’t talk about it that way’ she tells Stellar Magazine.

‘That’s the hardest part of dating when you’re in the public eye – exposing yourself in a way that you shouldn’t have to because, well, what if that person talks and what if that person does this?’ 

The 61-year-old added: ‘And so it is a bit tricky. For me, it’s not an age thing. It’s that vulnerability of the public knowing your private life’.

Shaynna and her  personal trainer ex-husband Steve Vaughan decided to part ways after 18 years of marriage back in 2018. 

The Channel Nine star announced that the couple had separated on her Instagram page, writing ‘Sometime in life, our paths change directions.

‘Sometimes in life, our paths change directions and now this is one of those times for me, with Steve and I separating.

‘I will not be making any further statements about this and whilst I appreciate your support I ask that you respect our right to privacy. Thank you Shaynna.’

The famed interior designer received an outpouring of support from her friends and fans, including fellow Block judge Neil Whitaker. 

Shaynna and Steve tied the knot 18 years prior to their split. 

They had previously been dating for 11 months after meeting at a local bar in Melbourne. 

Shaynna is the mother of two children, a son, Jesse Thomas, and a daughter, Carly Anne, whom she shares with her first husband.

Just a few months before announcing the divorce, the TV star gushed about her handsome hubby and how the couple kept the romance alive in their marriage. 

She told New Idea at the time that they made sure they had regular ‘date nights’, because they both had busy schedules.

‘The secret is every time we go out, it actually is date night,’ she said. 

‘You treat each other as your date, rather than just expecting them to always be there.

‘When you catch up, you just make sure that you’re present. You make sure that you’re there with each other and always touching base.’ 

Shaynna currently stars on The Block where she is a judge alongside Marty Fox and Darren Palmer.

The star also recently launched a music career with an EP and live shows to come.
