Sharing a photo of the pair in their wedding outfits at the glitzy Ritz Hotel in Paris, they wrote two words: "Husband and wife."
Paige wore a jaw-dropping satin gown from KYHA Studios for the occasion; a duchess satin gown with a dropped waist bodice and a flowing skirt.
She wore her hair in a gentle beach wave, and sported dewy makeup to accentuate her striking features.
Jesse, meanwhile, looked dapper in a suit and bow tie as he posed next to his new bride.
Their Block co-stars were shocked and delighted by the news, with Kylie writing: "Omg stop!!"
Courtney added: "So happy for you two and what a beautiful photo. STUNNNNNING," while Mimi gushed: "Congrats guys! This is iconic."
Jesse and Paige made the difficult decision to leave The Block during Week 5 of the competition.
They knew their mental health and well-being had to come first and decided to return home to get the care they needed.
"When the decision was made I even just felt relieved," Paige told Kristian and Mimi. "I just haven't been myself, like at all. I've really mentally struggled."
Jesse and Paige left The Block five weeks into their journey. Nine
Jesse said that while he did want to stay, he needed to "put [Paige] first".
The teams then said their goodbyes to Jesse and Paige, as did host Scott Cam.
"Nothing is more important – not The Block, not building – nothing's more important than your mental health," Scotty said to them.

"It is a big decision and a brave one that you've both made. I think we've probably all had to make that decision together and I feel as though, for people who are suffering with mental health issues, this is an inspiration for them to maybe make a decision as well.
"We feel as though you need to get to a place out of here that's where you can best take care of yourself."
Jesse and Paige's teammates were understandably emotional at the couple's departure, but were happy they were choosing what was right for themselves.
"It's definitely sad to see them say goodbye but we have a lot of respect for them to be able to do that," Haydn said.
After leaving, sisters Maddy and Charlotte took on House 1 and won the series after Adrian Portelli purchased their home.
They made a profit of $1.55 million plus $100,000 in prize money.
Jesse and Paige returned to The Block late in the season to see how Maddy and Charlotte had transformed House 1, and praised the sisters for everything they'd done.
Congratulations to Jessie and Paige!
