Farmer Wants A Wife is giving us a good old-fashioned couple swap in 2025.

It's time to round up some cattle and shear some sheep because another season of Farmer Wants A Wife has just kicked off. Can I get a yee-haw?

The 2025 season of Farmer Wants A Wife features four eligible bachelors selected from every corner of rural Australia.

The lineup includes fourth-generation 24-year-old farmer Corey from Biloela, Queensland; 35-year-old wheat farmer Thomas from South Australia's Eyre Peninsula; and 31-year-old sheep farmer Tom from Borambola, NSW.

The new season also features one of the youngest farmers ever, 21-year-old sheep farmer and country singer, Jarrad.

Before the new season drops, relieve the 2024 season.

Farmer Wants A Wife remains Australia's most successful dating program. But, in true reality TV form, before the new season even began, the drama was drama-ing.

Now that the show has finally begun, we've rounded up all the gossip you need to be across.

A potential partner swap.

Just two episodes into the 2025 season of Farmer Wants A Wife, and it seems the off-camera drama is already heating up. And it involves an unexpected connection between one FWAW contestant and… wait for it… a farmer who she was not originally matched with.

Ella Wagner, a Queensland registered nurse, initially set her sights on Farmer Jarrad during Monday night's episode. Unfortunately for Ella, Jarrad wasn't feeling the chemistry and sent her home after the speed dating round.

While Ella's journey on the show was cut short, it appears she may have found a deeper connection with another farmer after all — one who did not actually make it to filming. In the leaked photos obtained by Yahoo Lifestyle, Ella appears to be spending time with Farmer Jack Reid (known as "Reidy") over the Easter long weekend.

Interestingly, Farmer Reidy — a banana and avocado farmer from Mareeba in Far North Queensland — was originally advertised as part of this season's lineup but never made it to filming. While the 2025 season features only four farmers (Corey, Tom, Thomas and Jarrad), Reidy was among the initial potential farmers before the group was reduced.

The pair appear to have substantial common ground — both share a passion for fishing and country living, and they grew up less than an hour apart in Queensland. This geographical and lifestyle compatibility might explain their apparent chemistry in the leaked photos. Are they a new item or just friends? I guess time will only tell.

Two contestants spoil their ending.

In a classic case of social media spoilers, two contestants from Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 have already spoilt their endings by revealing their relationship status before the show premiered.

One of these rogue contestants is Emmie-Rose Shore, who was vying for Farmer Tom's heart on the wholesome reality dating show.

The 29-year-old fitness coach posted a loved-up photo on Instagram with a mystery man who is decidedly not her assigned farmer, captioning it with a simple "My Love". Talk about spilling the beans before the season even kicks off!

The second contestant, Ellie Heazlewood, also appears to have dropped major hints about her fate on the show through social media posts, effectively ruining any suspense about whether she found lasting love with her farmer. Spoiler: she did not.

In March, the 26-year-old childhood educator made her relationship with new boyfriend Byron official on Instagram, confirming she didn't ultimately find love with Farmer Corey on the show.

Byron even showed his playful side on Ellie's Farmer Wants A Wife announcement post, commenting: "I wonder if she will have any luck [on the show]."

While the show's producers were likely hoping to keep viewers guessing until the finale, these contestants clearly had other plans.

Farmer Wants A Wife has a new-ish host.

Along with some fresh-faced farmers, viewers with be greeted with a brand new host following the departure of Samantha Armytage who left Channel Seven earlier this year.

And by 'new host', I mean 'old host' because the one and only Natalie Gruzlewski will return to front the series for its 15th season, as announced at the Seven Upfronts.

Fans will know Natalie as the original host of the reality show. She was at the helm when FWAW first aired on Channel Nine from 2007 to 2012 before she returned on the Channel Seven reboot in 2020. And now, she's back again!

Nat is a fan favourite on the show, with viewers thrilled to see her returning to her old stomping ground.

Meanwhile, Armytage has a brand new gig over at Channel Nine, with the network announcing at their own Upfronts that she will host The Golden Bachelor in 2025. The series is an adaption of the popular US spin-off series, which was led by 72-year-old Gerry Turner.

Everything we can expect from the 2025 season.

At the Upfronts, Seven Chief Content Officer Brook Hall teased that the new season will be "really pure" and "authentic".

"We're actually filming this week, the final decisions and a couple of farmers are very, very happy where they are. So I think we're going to have more of those success stories again," he said.

Bring on the wholesome content! And meet the farmers here.
