Kristian and Mimi Belperio could not be more ready to shine on The Block 2024. After renovating their Adelaide home and actually enjoying the process, these newlyweds were ready for the next challenge…
Despite having successfully completed their home renovations, the two still consider themselves new renovators.
“With our house I would call the style modern contemporary, which we want to continue on The Block,” Kristian said. “We like lots of different textures, different textured ceilings. I think we will surprise everyone.”
As a duo, Kristian and Mimi are complete opposites. Kristian is laidback while Mimi is a perfectionist, but perhaps that’s just the mix they need to win The Block.
“In life, we are completely different people,” Mimi said. “We have disagreements, but when we came to renovating our home we agreed on everything, which is a surprise. Hopefully, with all the elements on The Block, we will be able to work as a team and do well.”
WHO ARE THE BLOCK’S KRISTIAN AND MIMI?
Kristian is a 31-year-old electrician who has worked for the same boss for the last 14 years… clearly a very loyal man!
“My boss is an absolute champion,” he said. “But one day I do want to start my own business, and I think this could be a stepping stone in doing that, just to gain the confidence to start my own thing.”
He is the type of guy who is always smiling and brings positivity to each day, which is exactly what everyone needs on a show as stressful as The Block.
Kristian lives with his wife Mimi, a 28-year-old restaurant manager, in Adelaide, South Australia. Mimi manages her family’s Vietnamese restaurant and is very proud of the business and its successes.
“My parents have built this empire and I’m so proud of them. It’s great to be working with them. I’m helping them for now and then will see where life takes me,” Mimi says.
However, Mimi also has a passion for acting, and well, The Block is her chance to live out her dreams!
WHAT TEAM ARE KRISTIAN AND MIMI ON?
Kristian and Mimi are on the Purple Team.
HOW DID THE BLOCK’S KRISTIAN AND MIMI MEET?
Kristian and Mimi met at their group fitness Christmas party in 2020, after training together in the same gym classes. They married in November 2023, just months before joining the show!
