In a recent chat with Closer Magazine, Georges said that plans were underway to move in together, get engaged, and hopefully start a family. "The plan is to have children. Obviously we've got to stay together, move in together and get engaged." he said. On the logistics of moving in together, Georges chuckled: "She lives at home, I live at mine. I'd have her move in with me but she has so much stuff!"

Recently, the pair went on a romantic Paris trip, noted as an "expensive three months" for Georges. He quipped: "We had Christmas, then a birthday 9 January, Valentine's Day on 14 February, and then our one-year anniversary on 1 March. It's a very expensive three months."
Despite their challenges on MAFS regarding intimacy, career decisions and family dynamics, they've stuck together. During their time on the show, Peggy admitted that she takes longer to open up intimately than Georges does, while Georges confessed feeling insecure and not "good enough" for her. Despite the setbacks, since leaving the show the couple seem to have gone from strength-to-strength with their eyes firmly set on a future together.
