The personal trainer was Blaze’s second husband. They met six years after her divorce from her first husband, who she married at the age of 23 and had two children with.

Speaking to Stuff NZ in 2015, Blaze said she met Vaughan at a bar in Melbourne and they were engaged and married in a span of 11 months.

“Steve and I met at a bar in Melbourne that my girlfriend dragged me to,” she told the publication.

“Within two weeks we knew this was it. We were engaged within six months and married 11 months after we met. You meet the right person at the right time. They accept everything about you and you can be better than what you ever thought because you have that person next to you.”

Currently, Vaughan has not commented on their separation on his Instagram.
