They went public with their relationship later that year and moved in together in 2019.

As for marriage, Dianne also said in 2021: "I'm quite an unorganised person actually, Joe and I don't really talk about that kind of thing [marriage]. We're both so relaxed so we just play it by ear. We really enjoy each other's company so much and whatever happens, happens."
