The Block 2021
NSW Couple
Kirsty & Jesse
Together since they were 16 and married now for seven years, Kirsty and Jesse are a rock-solid couple. Whatever they do they give 100 per cent and going on The Block will be no different. Coming from humble beginnings, they see this as a huge opportunity to get ahead in life coming on the show as one of the three 'Fans' couples.
Kirsty and Jesse bought their first house together when they were 18. “I think I blew my first pay, but after that, I saved half my pay until I was 18, so we could buy a house for $165,000,” he said. They did up that house and sold it, making $60,000 and catching the renovation bug. Since then they have bought and flipped six houses. “Hamptons beach vibe” is their preferred style.
