Looking worlds away from her days on The Block construction site, the blonde completed her glamorous look with a delicate gold necklace, matching earrings and dramatic makeup.
Ryan also looked schmick in a salmon button-up shirt and black shorts.
It comes after the couple unveiled their recently completed pool renovation.

Ryan posted a video of the construction process to Instagram, showing how the couple rebuilt their yard from scratch.
‘The concept, design and execution of this reno was all done during Covid, where we figured if we were going to be locked up, we better make the most of our outdoor space!’ they wrote.
The Mediterranean-inspired cabana features a dry bar, shower, garden box and newly-installed fence.

The space is well illuminated with down lights in the cabana, garden lights all through the garden box, flood lights surrounding and feature pendants on the wall.
‘Now Rach just needs to style it up and our backyard pool can make you feel like you’re miles away on the beautiful Mediterranean coast (that is unless all the kids are there),’ Ryan mused.
Rachael and Ryan couple came in second at The Block’s auction last month, selling their home for $4,250,000.
