Aside from making just $10,000 profit on their home on The Block: Glasshouse in 2015, Dea and Darren were best known for their massive blow-ups so it came as no surprise to viewers when the pair broke up in September 2019.

The split came three years after returning for The Block Triple Threat where they took home $935,000.

Since the split, Darren – who shares two daughters with Dea – has found love with Lucy Porter. Darren and Lucy went public with their relationship in November 2020 – and haven’t looked back since!

In November 2020, Darren confirmed his romance with Lucy by sharing this loved-up selfie during a coastal holiday.

A month before going public, Darren shared a concerning Instagram post claiming he could not “go on much longer”. Following this, Darren’s mother praised Lucy for helping him through the rough time.
