'The Block's' Suzi Taylor breaks up with producer Tim Wise after five years
Suzi Taylor of "The Block" Season 11 and show producer Tim Wise are no longer together. Wise reportedly ended their five-year relationship after Suzi's controversial photos of dancing topless on a boat were exposed. The high-octane, overtly vocal, reality star has been in the news for quite some time now for all the wrong reasons.
The West Australian via Yahoo reports that a Nine Network spokesperson confirmed Wise and Taylor's breakup. They reportedly went their separate ways after the Melbourne Cup Carnival, where Taylor posed suggestively on a boat.
News.com.au reports that while Taylor and Wise were together, the former split her time between the latter’s home in Melbourne and her children in Queensland. This is the first time that the producer has been linked to a contestant.
Days before the nude photo leaks, Taylor collapsed on set of "The Block" 2015 and was taken to the hospital due to "exhaustion." A lot has been said on the safety of contestants in reality shows because they are subject to intense, high pressure environments and tough situations. However, her collapse was later believed to be caused by her wild partying ways. It became evident once her nude photos of partying on a boat after Oaks Day emerged online.
Her "The Block: The Blocktagon" partner Vonni Cosier, has even maintained some distance from Suzi. Vonni appears to have gotten tired of her friend's attention-grabbing and flirtatious ways.
Channel Nine quickly went into the defensive and scaled back Taylor's promotional commitments.
“She will not be doing any press until after the auction,” Channel Nine's spokeswoman said in an earlier report.
While it appears that Wise has broken up with Suzi, the two were still photographed in an embrace during the weekend. They were said to be filming for the show’s auction day scenes in South Yarra. This sparked rumours of a reunion between the two.
However, a representative for Channel Nine dismissed the rumours.
“Tim was wishing Suzi good luck ahead of the auctions. They are no longer romantically involved,” the Nine spokesperson said.
