If you’ve been keeping across the latest drama in the world of The Block 2024, you’ll know that ‘flirtgate’ between Brad Baker, Kylie Baker and Mimi Belperio has been a central issue for the show.
If you’re wondering if Brad and Kylie are still together after she packed up her things and left the show, here is everything we know about that.
What happened between Brad and Mimi?
The TL;DR version of this story is that after a night of drinks, Brad is said to have been flirting with fellow The Block contestant Mimi while his wife Kylie napped nearby.
This led to Kylie leaving the show and returning home to be with her family.

So, are Brad and Kylie still together?
The question everyone seemingly wants answered now is, do we know whether Brad and Kylie have worked things out?
Well, there are some differing views on that.
The most recent update on this comes from Yahoo Lifestyle, who has reported that the pair appear to be together after attending a Melbourne Cup race day event together with the rest of the contestants of The Block 2024.
According to earlier reports from So Dramatic!, however, the married couple who share four children, are believed to have parted ways after the show wrapped.
Per an insider who spoke with the outlet, “They’ve completely separated. Brad’s moved out of their home, and things aren’t amicable, making things difficult and awkward for the publicity team.”
Turning the rumours on their head again, another contestant, Courtney McInnes, recently spoke with HIT WA’s Allan & Carly and alleged that, no, Brad and Kylie are, in fact, still together.
“I have spoken to everyone since, and Mimi and Kristian are in a good place, and Kylie and Brad, I’ve heard, are also in a good place,” Courtney said. “They’re very much still together. We saw them a couple of weeks ago for an event.”
She also confirmed that Mimi and Kylie have spoken since the flirting incident – in which Brad allegedly told Mimi he’d subscribe to her OnlyFans.
According to Courtney, things have calmed down there, too.
“I wouldn’t say they’re really, really close right now, but they’ve spoken. Everything’s fine. So I don’t know if this is going to resurface things. Who knows, but weeks ago, we were all talking,” she said.
Another interesting point to add is that according to an insider who spoke with Yahoo Lifestyle, Kylie has supposedly been leaning on Brad for support since the show started airing.
“At first Kylie was laughing at the silliness of some of her antics on the show, but now she has been questioning everything about herself and, surprisingly, Brad of all people has been the one to comfort her,” the source told the outlet.
This would suggest the couple is working through things together presently.
Then there’s this photo that popped up on Instagram recently. Here, the couple is posing happily together at the Ocean View Hotel in Kilcunda, suggesting things are going well.
What’s next?
Fans were surprised to see that Kylie did decide to return to The Block despite all that went down… Only for her and Brad to leave the show again shortly after.
During a chat with producers and Brad, she shared that she felt Brad “completely annihilated” their relationship. So, I suppose we’ll have to wait to see how things progress from there.
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
