When Farmer Wants A Wife premiered in July, Australia was hooked.

Finally, a reality show with some grit, wholesomeness and real life love.

Well, at least that’s what it seemed to be.

Woman’s Day has uncovered some of the biggest shocks and scandals that have been bubbling away behind the scenes – and it can only suggest this season is going to involve a whole lot more drama than we thought…

Alex can’t keep his eyes off Jessika Power

Former Married At First Sight troublemaker Jessika Power has been linked to a string of reality TV stars since her appearance on the hit show in 2019.

Now it seems she’s got the attention of Farmer Alex! Eagle-eyed fans have noticed the 29-year-old Cunnamulla-based farmer has taken a liking to the blonde beauty.

A quick sweep of 28-year-old Jess’ Instagram shows Alex is no stranger to liking her steamy selfies, including one photo of Jess in a see-through one-piece swimsuit that leaves little to the imagination!

Stacey wanted Jack

In a shock twist, Stacey Cain, who is vying for Farmer Harry’s affections, tells Woman’s Day that she shares a history with missing farmer Jack.

“I went to high school with Jack!” says the 28-year-old. “My home town is near his home town.”

The confession has spurred rumours the farm hand applied for the popular show to compete for Jack’s affections, rather than 29-year-old Harry’s!

According to Stacey, she and Jack are still in contact.

The 27-year-old Victorian farmer starred in the show’s promos before being gagged by Seven from revealing the reason for his mystery departure.

Nick busted on bumble

Farmer Nick is looking for a wife to join him on his family vineyard in the beautiful Western Tamar Valley in Tasmania, and while he’s got plenty to offer, the rumour mill suggests things don’t quite work out for the wine aficionado!

Last week, a profile on dating app Bumble appeared with Nick’s name and photo, and fans are convinced that the 44-year-old fails to find love on the show, or has even moved on since filming wrapped. In fact, one fan insists she’s seen Nick on Tinder, too!
