Photo hints at Kylie and Brad's relationship status after The Block filming ended

Ever since this year’s season of The Block premiered in August, it’s been rumoured that controversial couple Kylie and Brad are no longer together. Multiple publications have reported that the pair, who have been married for seven years and share four children, separated not long after filming wrapped and Brad had moved out of their family home in Cairns, Queensland.

However, a new photo of the pair appears to suggest that they are still spending time together. The snap, which was posted on social media by the Kilcunda Ocean View Hotel this week, comes after rumours that Kylie and Brad’s relationship was tested when she witnessed an encounter one night between Brad and fellow contestant Mimi that, while not physical, she didn’t feel was appropriate.

Maddy and Charlotte seemingly referred to this rumour in a recent radio interview, saying that “something happened” but viewers will have to continue watching to find out.

While Kylie and Brad themselves have remained tight-lipped about their current relationship status, the photo in question would suggest they are at least on good terms.

In the pic, Kylie and Brad pose with a hotel employee with the caption reading, “Our young gun, Riley, was a tad starstruck today when The Block contestants, Brad and Kylie popped into the Killy Pub for a couple of cold ones on the deck.”

The fact that the Queensland-based couple were spending time around Phillip Island this week also affirms that they plan on attending next month’s auction, despite reports that she walks away from the competition in the final week.

Bizarre detail in photo

Interestingly, the photo shows Kylie and Brad standing next to carpenter Zak Sydenham, who appeared on this year’s season of The Block as Paige and Jesse’s builder before quitting when Maddy and Charlotte took over House 1.

This detail certainly didn’t go unnoticed by fans who speculated in the comments about whether Zak’s friendship with Kylie had anything to do with why he quit the show, considering she has openly expressed her dislike towards the sisters.

“That’s why that builder was mean with the girls because he’s friends with Kylie,” one person replied, while another added, “Well Zak that explains why you didn’t want to be the girls’ builder”.

Others also noticed that Kylie, who works as a hairdresser, no longer has bright green hair and has since dyed it blonde.

“Glad the green hair has gone!” a fan commented, followed by someone else who said, “I like her hair that colour”.

How Brad's been supporting Kylie post-show

The tell-tale photo comes shortly after an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle that Kylie has heavily relied on Brad’s support in recent weeks as she deals with the fallout from her ‘edit’.

“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,” they shared.

“The relationship was in tatters when they left The Block but this whole experience of watching it back and only having each other as a reference point has actually been quite healing. No one really knows what happened on Phillip Island unless you were there and while many friends thought reliving some of the painful parts of their struggles would split them further apart, it has done the opposite.”
