The Block’s Brad Baker has broken his silence on the “flirtgate” scandal that rocked the show’s 20th season.
Brad and his wife, Kylie, saw their seven-year marriage implode on air this week when the Cairns-based trader told fellow contestant Mimi Belperio he would ‘follow’ her OnlyFans account if she had one.
Kylie, who was resting nearby, heard the altercation and sensationally left the show, briefly heading home to Cairns before returning to the Phillip Island construction site to dump Brad on TV.
Despite the drama leaving their marriage ‘in tatters’, the couple appear to still be living together, and were both seen leaving their Bentley Park home in Cairns on Wednesday.
Speaking to Ny Breaking Australia, the father-of-four would not confirm the current status of his relationship with his wife, just months after the incident took place.
“I obviously can’t say that,” he said.
“I never said we’re together or not.”
As the series draws to a close, participants’ attention now turns to the all-important auctions taking place this Saturday.

However, Brad admitted that he doesn’t know if he and Kylie will be in attendance.
“That’s something I still talk to my wife about, we don’t know what we’re doing,” he said.
“It’s not out of the question, I guess we’ll see.”
A friend of the couple previously told Ny Breaking Australia that Kylie has chosen to stand by her husband.
“Brad and Kylie are together and that’s really all Australia needs to know,” the friend insisted.
Despite the drama leaving their marriage ‘in tatters’, the couple are still together and working on their relationship. Brad is seen getting coffee for his wife after going to school on Wednesday
‘The Block shoot left their relationship in tatters and they had prepared for Australia to see what everyone was whispering about.’
The pair were spotted leaving their modest home in far North Queensland this week, with Brad dropping off school before returning home with coffee for himself and Kylie.
Kylie’s signature green hair in the show was dyed blonde as she left their marital home in a long, black pencil skirt and zebra print halter top.
Evidence of the couple’s four children could be seen in the front yard, with a brightly colored toddler toy in the driveway.

During Wednesday night’s episode, Brad admitted he made “inappropriate” comments to Mimi, who is married to Kristian on the show, over drinks while Kylie was within earshot.
Kylie then admitted that Brad and Mimi’s flirtation had been so bad that she believed the pair had been secretly sleeping together behind the scenes.
Brad later said he believed his marriage was “done” and that he had “single-handedly destroyed my family” with his actions, after Kylie suddenly halted production.

“If I gave up, we’d leave with nothing, so whatever we get, even if it’s 10,000, I’ll take half of what you fucking get and then I’ll leave your thing behind, you I get to keep your damn house, and I’m leaving,” Kylie sensationally said on Wednesday evening
‘If I gave up, we’d leave with nothing, so whatever we get, even if it’s 10,000, I’ll take half of what you get and then I’ll leave your a*** behind, you I can have your damn house and I’m going away,” she said sensationally on Wednesday evening.
“I don’t even know if I’ll stay in Cairns, to be honest, there’s nothing left for me.
“If you treat your partner like that, you can fucking handle it.”
She added, “My biggest problem is the entire time we’ve been together, and even when we started, you’ve never flirted with me like this in our entire relationship, so you can only imagine how that makes me feel .’
“I’m sorry,” Brad tried, but Kylie interjected, “Sorry doesn’t solve anything.”
