Hosted by Natalie Gruzlewski, the beloved reality show ran on and off for nine seasons between 2007 and 2016, boasting some of the best success stories on Aussie reality TV. After a few years off air Channel Seven revived the series in 2020 and since then, we’ve had multiple seasons of farmer love to follow along with.
And, thankfully, it seems that many of these couples are still going strong today. Before the 2026 FWAW season kicks off, let’s take a walk down memory lane to find out which couples are still together.
Chris Newsome & Kim Tierney
Season One, 2007
True love was found right from the very beginning of Farmer Wants A Wife in 2007. Chris Newsome and Kim Tierney met on the show and were the first couple to marry, with their wedding being filmed for season two. The couple now have a son and daughter together and live on Chris’ farm in Tamworth.

‘”We we very lucky,” Jo told Adelaide Now in 2022 interview of the ”instant chemistry” the pair shared on a speed date.
”We could have chatted for ages and (our relationship) unravelled very naturally.”
While they spent years living on Rob’s farm, the family moved to Noosa in 2024.

With more than a decade of marriage, Clare assures her husband is still “very romantic.”

Meanwhile Scott said Clare doesn’t skimp on romantic gestures either.
“She surprised me with a new golf buggy recently,” he told TV WEEK.
How Scott and Clare met is not a secret to their young children, with Elsie even watching the show!
“She’s was a little confused as to why we were on TV,” Clare said. “She thinks it’s hilarious though too.”

Thus far, the show had been a wholesome affair, but in 2021 it saw its first MAFS-worthy scandal — and we just had to include it.
Hayley was one of Farmer Matt Terwin’s girls before she was sent home and began a relationship with Farmer Will Dwyer. Fans were shocked when Hayley later announced she was pregnant with Will’s child.
In a statement to News.com.au, she clarified, “I started my relationship with Farmer Will in December before the reunion episode was filmed a few weeks later in January. He told me he wasn’t with Jaimee, and Jaimee was in contact with me before the reunion.”
Soon after her genuinely shocking reveal, Farmer Will responded to the claims with a statement speculating if the baby was his by sharing on Instagram, “If this is in fact my child, I’ll be there whenever the child needs me. Even if, as parents, we can’t be a couple, our family will be filled with love for our child.”
On December 7 at 10:03 pm, the blonde beauty gave birth to a sweet girl named Daisy.

Jess and Andrew declared their love for each other in the finale.

“After exactly 11 months of long distance and a million lockdowns later, today has finally arrived. So excited to start this next chapter with my love, starting with a big ol’ house reno on our brand spankin new property! (Well, new to us),” she wrote on Instagram.
In August 2023, the pair took to Instagram to share the news of their engagement, followed by a stunning country garden wedding in April 2024.
“Farmer Wants A Wife,” they captioned the adorable picture (above).

Farmer Harry and Tess overcame many obstacles during their season but ultimately fell head over heels for one another.
”If I’m honest, Tess, I’m in love with you, and I wanna be with you,” Harry told Tess in the finale.
Due to the long distance, Harry has since relocated from his country home to the Gold Coast for a ”cheeky gap year.”
”For him to make that decision and commit to it has been huge,” Tess said.
”I do really love him for being so willing to move for me. I know that Harry’s making compromises for me right now, so I’m more than willing to do that in the future, because I do really love him.”

In March 2026, Harry got down on one knee and proposed to Tess.
Speaking to Woman’s Day, Harry revealed how the adorable engagement went down.
“I organised a cover story to go out for lunch with one of my friends from uni then I had her call and cancel last-minute. I’d organised everything with the staff,” he explained.
““They said, ‘We’ll reshuffle the tables. You guys have a wander.’ And I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that sounds lovely’. I was none the wiser,” added Tess.
“So then I took Tess down to the river and I proposed to her there,” Harry added.
Now, the pair are enjoying their engagement and planning their big day!
