Josh and Tay
Josh Everett and Tay were one of the strongest and most-loved couples in the Big Brother Australia house. They were known for their relaxed demeanour and adorable public displays of affection. They even shared a kiss during the finale of the show.
Josh said of his time in the house and his relationship with Tay: "It was crazy leaving this house. I was more upset about leaving Tay than actually leaving the Big Brother house, so it sort of sucked a bit. It hit me pretty hard."
However, despite their strong connection in the house, the couple were no longer together as of 2023. In a post-elimination interview, Josh revealed that their long-distance relationship proved too difficult to maintain, with Josh in Sydney and Tay on the Gold Coast. An insider told the So Dramatic! podcast: "Tay and Josh lasted four months outside of the house (the longest of any relationship) and to be fair they had the most authentic relationship inside the house."

Louis and Minee
Minee took to Instagram to reveal that their romance did not last due to the impracticality of long-distance, with her living in Perth and Louis in Melbourne. She wrote, "I liked him but it wasn't practical... Such a great guy though. He was a very good support coming out of the show."
While Louis and Minee have not confirmed their separation directly, Louis has been tagged in some romantic photos on Instagram by @isabellaskocic, indicating that they may have indeed parted ways.

Teejay and Ari
Despite this bump in the road, Teejay and Ari continued their relationship and even made it to the finale as one of the final three couples. However, their relationship did not survive outside the Big Brother house. After the finale, Ari revealed on Instagram that they were no longer together, saying, "I'm sure it's no surprise to you guys but no, we aren't together. We're just friends."
According to an insider, the pair's relationship was commonly known as a "situationship" and it was clear to Ari that Teejay wasn't committed to making it work in the real world. While they met up for New Year's, their relationship ended 12 months ago, and they have maintained a friendship. Interestingly, there is speculation that Bella and Teejay may rekindle their romance.

Pete and Christina
Pete Timbs and Christina "Ballerina" Davis were the first-ever couple to start dating in the Big Brother Australia house back in season one. They were responsible for coining the term "dancing doonas" following their late-night antics. However, Pete and Christina parted ways shortly after the show.
In the two decades since, it seems that the pair have lost touch. Pete has gone on to work in media and now lives in Byron Bay with his wife, Camilla, and their two daughters. He runs a cafe in the area. Christina, on the other hand, has found success in stand-up comedy, performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Despite not staying together, Pete and Christina's romance remains one of the most iconic in Big Brother Australia history.

Tully and Drew
In 2013, Tully Smyth entered the Big Brother Australia house in season 10, while in a relationship with her girlfriend of over two years, Tahlia Farrant. However, she soon embarked on a romance with fellow housemate, Anthony 'Drew' Drew. Their relationship caused a media frenzy, as Tully cheated on her girlfriend with Drew.
Despite the controversy, the pair continued their relationship outside the house. However, they broke up just a few months later due to the pressure of living in different states and regular relationship issues. Tully later admitted on her podcast, 'Too Much Tully', that she and Drew had "fallen apart" and that she would always wonder if he was the 'one that got away'.
Since their split, both Tully and Drew have moved on to other relationships. Tully has been linked to several famous men, including Richie Strahan, Ciarran Stott, and Australian musician Flume. In December 2021, she revealed that she was in a serious relationship with a man named Daniel Parisi. Drew, on the other hand, briefly dated Leah Costa from 'The Bachelor' in 2018.
Despite their break-up, Tully and Drew have remained in contact over the years. In 2020, they reunited on Tully's podcast, where they discussed their time in the Big Brother house and their relationship. In 2022, the pair even returned to the Big Brother house as contestants once again, sparking rumours of a possible reconciliation. However, it seems unlikely that they will rekindle their romance, as Tully is still with her partner, Daniel, and Drew has also moved on.
