Blue team Chantel Green, 32, and Wyatt Randall, 30, are heading into The Block 2026<\/a> as one of the season\u2019s most competitive pairings \u2013 and, if the rumour mill is anything to go by, one of its most scrutinised.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast couple, who share a home with Chantel\u2019s three young children, bring a shared obsession with fitness and an unusually lopsided building r\u00e9sum\u00e9 to the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meet The Block\u2019s Chantel and Wyatt<\/p>\n

Chantel has years of hands-on building experience, including carpentry training and a Certificate IV in Building and Construction, and has helped construct more than 100 homes alongside her builder father.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wyatt, by contrast, arrived with zero trade background \u2013 a gap he says made the early weeks brutal.<\/p>\n

Ahead of The Block premiere, TV WEEK was invited to Mount Eliza<\/a> to visit the finished houses, where we heard from Chantel and Wyatt about their experience on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was honestly way more stressful than [I thought],\u201d Wyatt admitted. \u201cI don\u2019t have any trade background, so coming into it \u2013 the first two or three weeks were learning all the terminology, what I needed to order, the process, the steps. That was absolutely stressful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chantel said the learning curve didn\u2019t last long. \u201cThe first four weeks there was a lot on me, but then he picked it up super quick. This is my background, so I had to help him, and the trades were helping him too \u2013 it all just worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chantel and Wyatt\u2019s relationship timeline<\/p>\n

Chantel and Wyatt met two years ago at the gym, bonding over a shared love of bodybuilding, clean eating and competitive drive. <\/p>\n

Chantel has said she\u2019d dreamed of appearing on The Block for years but hadn\u2019t found the right partner for it \u2013 \u201cuntil now\u201d \u2013 while Wyatt grew up watching the show with his mother as a teenager.<\/p>\n

But the pair\u2019s relationship has become a storyline in itself in the lead-up to the premiere. <\/p>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a> previously reported that the \u201chottest couple\u201d of the season had actually split before filming began, with sources telling the outlet that they went ahead with the show regardless, in part to raise the profile of their respective businesses. Wyatt has reportedly since moved on with a new partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir break-up was one of the worst-kept secrets on the Gold Coast,\u201d one source told the publication. \u201cPeople were talking about it well before filming started.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever the truth, Chantel and Wyatt gave no indication of trouble at the show\u2019s media launch, appearing affectionate throughout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Pedestrian.TV<\/a>, the pair went further, crediting the experience with strengthening their relationship. \u201cHonestly, it brought us together,\u201d Chantel said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChantel\u2019s got a lot of patience,\u201d Wyatt added. \u201cWe have the opposite effect, so she counters me, I can counter her, and we sort of work [well]. So we actually were great through the show, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n
