Inside Shaynna Blaze’s ultra-private new romance with a Melbourne man

The Block’s Shaynna Blaze hinted she was in a new relationship last month.

And according to friends, the 58-year-old interior design expert is ‘very happy’ after meeting a mystery man in Melbourne. 

‘Let’s just say Shaynna is in a really good place,’ a source told New Idea.

‘With so much change in the world, Shaynna’s taking control and really making herself and her family a priority. Her friends couldn’t be happier for her.’

The comments come after the Celebrity Apprentice star revealed she likes to keep matters of the heart quiet.

‘I’m taking my love life private,’ she told TV Week magazine in May.

‘My life has been splashed out there more than I ever wanted… All I can say is I’m very happy,’ she added, hinting at her new romance.

It comes after Shaynna announced her split from personal trainer husband Steve Vaughan in an Instagram post in August 2018.

She wrote at the time: ‘Sometimes in life, our paths change directions and now this is one of those times for me, with Steve and I separating.

‘I will not be making any further statements about this and whilst I appreciate your support, I ask that you respect our right to privacy. Thank you Shaynna.’

Shaynna and Steve married 19 years ago, after dating for just 11 months.

Following the split, she threw herself into her work on The Block and Selling Houses Australia.

She went on to announce her departure from the Foxtel property program in March. 

The Block judge is also a doting mother of two children, a son, Jesse, and a daughter, Carly, whom she shares with her first husband.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph in March 2020, Shaynna admitted she’d been ‘in a hole’ following her split from Steve.

‘You reach a point [where] you think you’re never going to hit and sometimes it’s okay to just sit there and go, “I can’t get out of this hole I’m in for a while”, but I can reach out to people when it gets too bad to pull me out of this swamp,’ she said.
