The Block's Elyse Knowles reveals why she's 'selective' when accepting modeling jobs
Elyse Knowles has led a highly successful modeling career since finding fame on The Block in 2017, but the mother-of-two has since slowed things down.
Now a brand ambassador for Myer, the former reality TV star, 31, says she has become more 'selective' in her modeling since starting a family.
The blonde beauty, who currently lives in Byron Bay with her fiancé Josh Barker and their two sons Sunny and Zaii, said she wants to give all her time to her children, reported The Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday.
“I'm fortunate enough to be able to have one-on-one time with my boys. I think that is very important in this first part of their lives,” Elyse told the publication.
'I still do modeling on the side, but I'm very selective these days because I don't have time. I want to give everything for the boys, but it's also good to have an outlet.'

Elyse, who only recently welcomed her second son into the world, has a string of magazine covers, fashion shoots and brand ambassador roles to her name.
Elyse's biggest gigs have been modeling since she was just 10 years old: Range Rover, Myer, Aveda Haircare, Seafolly and Australian Made.
She and Josh shot to fame after winning The Block in 2017 when their house was bought by Dave Hughes.
The lovebirds moved to Byron Bay from Melbourne in 2019 in search of a quieter life.
In May 2020, Elyse and Josh bought a $2.3 million beach house in the coastal town of New South Wales, which they renovated.
They welcomed their firstborn child Sunny in February 2021, shortly after revealing they were secretly engaged.

Elyse previously revealed to Stellar magazine that she was paralyzed by fear after the birth of her first son.
“I found it hard to breathe and I had to say to myself, 'It's fine, what could go wrong? Everyone has babies… you just have to go for it,'” Elyse said.
In May of this year they have oneannounced the arrival of a six-month-old baby Zaii.
'Zai Barker. To love and protect. May 18th,” Elyse wrote in her Instagram caption alongside a clip of the toddler in a crib, explaining that her baby was born a few days earlier.
