Rapper, Example, has given fans a look at his garden makeover at the Brisbane home he shares with his new fiancee, Daisy Cox.
The 43-year-old, whose real name is Elliot Gleave, shared a tour of the new landscaping at his Paddington home on social media, just weeks after Cox showed off her diamond ring.
Gleave shares his son, Luke, with Cox, who is a British art collector. They are based in Brisbane and travel back and forth from Europe for work.

Brisbane-based landscape designer, Brooke’s Blooms, has given the garden a major spring makeover — posting a ‘final reveal’ video with the rapper, featuring a flashback ‘before’ video where Gleave describes the garden as “dead leaves everywhere, the grass is overgrown, neighbours complaining”.
The team created a ‘fairy wonderland garden’ featuring a cowboy cactus, dwarf citrus trees, an olive tree, and interactive garden of mixed herbs including oregano, thyme and rosemary.

Owner, Brooke Jennings, said they undertook a “summer clean-up”. “Things had gotten overgrown, so we removed some old plants and installed some more fruit trees for him,” Ms Jennings said.
“He has a young child with Daisy and he wanted Lukey to be able to go out and pick herbs and fruit and veggies with him, so we did a large clean-up, installed new plants, and fertilised mulch.”
When asked what he was most looking forward to about the new garden, Gleave replied: “Not lifting anything or getting my hands dirty.
“It’s going to look like a….a fairy wonderland garden.”
Brooke’s Blooms has worked with many high-profile clients, including Adam Treloar, Josh Dunkley, Charlie Cameron, and Corey Oates.

Gleave also has two children with former Miss Universe Australia Erin McNaught.
The pair announced their split in 2023.
They bought the striking, five-bedroom, four-bathroom Paddington house Gleave and Cox currently live in for $2.8m in 2019.

It was one of the first homes built by celebrity developer, Graya, and broke the suburb record for a sub 500 sqm block at the time when it changed hands in an offmarket deal negotiated by Matt Lancashire and Josh Brown of Ray White – New Farm.
McNaught bought a house in Toowong in December 2022 for $2.265m.
Brooke’s Blooms first completed a garden install for Gleave at the same house in 2022.
