History is being made on The Block 2023, with contestant Steph being the first-ever architect to compete in the series. She and her partner, Gian, have also recently renovated their own home, so they’ll undoubtedly be the couple to watch this season.

Both aged 27, they’re the youngest contestants during the season.

After first meeting on the school bus in year 7, the childhood sweethearts have been together ever since and in 2022, they got married, celebrating with their friends and family.

Steph career as an architect gives her a strong advantage for the show and design-wise, she plans to infuse Japandi—a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian styles—into their home.

Gian, also 27, is currently working in finance at a tech start-up, focusing on driving growth strategies. He is a problem solver and a deep thinker who enjoys running and staying fit.

As a team, Steph and Gian have excellent communication skills, despite having occasional disagreements. They believe that effective communication is the key to their success.

While they may have their bickering moments, they’re confident in their ability to handle harsh judging on the show and call themselves their own harshest critics.

Steph and Gian are a talented, determined duo with a strong foundation of love and collaboration. They’re ready to take on The Block and plan to rely on their design expertise and excellent teamwork.
