Karlo Godec, the "Mr. Perfect" from the popular reality show, and his girlfriend Kaja Cesar have spent their summer on the island of Brač engaged in a rather hands-on project: renovating the yard of Karlo's house.
Far from a typical relaxing vacation, the couple dedicated two and a half weeks to strenuous physical work. Godec described the process, which involved excavating approximately 130 cubic meters of soil, removing stubborn roots, planting grass in intense heat, and dealing with ant infestations. The final stages included preparing the ground and installing a swimming pool.
In the end, we didn't do much, but it was still physically demanding. First, we had to dig about 130 m3, then remove the roots as much as we could. After that, we started planting a type of grass, which was very demanding in this heat, and we had a big problem with ants that were eating our seeds. Finally, we just leveled the surface for the pool and installed it. All in all, it was two and a half weeks of work. Every fourth day we swam at the beach.
Despite the demanding nature of the work, Godec emphasized that the experience was enjoyable and strengthened their bond. "We just had a good time, barbecued at the same time, and ultimately improved our relationship," he shared. They managed to incorporate leisure activities, swimming at the beach every fourth day.
So we just had a good time, barbecued at the same time, and ultimately improved our relationship.
The couple, who met on the reality show, has maintained their relationship since Kaja moved from Tenerife to Zagreb for Karlo. Godec revealed that fans frequently inquire about their future, with common questions including "When will you propose to Kaja?" and "When are you getting married?" Godec playfully alluded to these questions in a social media post, leaving followers in suspense.
Looking ahead, Karlo and Kaja plan to spend the rest of the summer exploring the Croatian islands by boat. Their active summer project highlights their commitment to each other and their shared life, moving beyond the televised romance into a tangible, collaborative future.
This is the most frequent question in the last month. My answer to that is...
