On March 17, Joel returned to Australia and spent two weeks in mandatory self-isolation which ended on April 1.

The couple arrived before the government ruled that Australians returning from overseas must spend their two-week quarantine period under supervision in hotels so were allowed to self-isolate at home.

The pair had spent time at the Amanyara beach resort, which sits by the Caribbean island of Providenciales.

Joel and Christine first debuted their romance at GQ Australia’s Man of the Year Awards in Sydney on November 14, 2018.
