Farmer Wants A Wife has remained a fan-favourite reality show in Australia over the course of its 14 seasons. Along the way, viewers have been introduced to various farmers and contestants looking for love, as well as multiple hosts.
But one host has remained a fan-favourite: Natalie Gruzlewski, who’s back as the sole host for the 2025 season of FWAW!

Former host Samantha Armytage announced she was departing Channel Seven in early 2024, so we knew she wouldn’t be back for Farmer Wants A Wife in 2025.
After much discussion and many fan theories, it was officially confirmed in November that Natalie Gruzlewski would be back hosting the beloved series solo.
Samantha Armytage co-hosted FWAW for two seasons alongside Natalie, but in October 2024 it was revealed that Sam would be jumping ship to Channel Nine to host their new show, The Golden Bachelor.
Natalie Gruzlewski previously hosted FWAW solo, before being signed on as a co-host alongside Samantha in 2023.
Despite her rare appearances on the series since, fans have continued to express their desire for a permanent return from Natalie.
Well, Channel Seven has granted that wish!

Farmer Wants A Wife originally aired on Channel Nine, where Natalie Gruzlewski was the host from 2007 to 2012.
It was later cancelled and then revived for one season in 2016, where Sam McClymont hosted, before the show was brought back by the Seven Network in 2020.
As Natalie was the original host, and has continued to appear in almost every single season, it’s understandable why viewers were so keen to have her back in the full-time hosting role in 2025.
