An engagement and a baby on the way: Where all the FWAW contestants are now.

With another wild season of MAFS having just wrapped up, reality TV fans were desperate for some feel-good, wholesome love. Enter Farmer Wants a Wife for another crazy season in 2025.

When it comes to Aussie reality TV, this wholesome series is known for having the best success rate for long-lasting love. As it stands, Farmer Wants A Wife is responsible for 11 marriages (soon to be 12!) and 27 children. This makes it one of Australia's most effective dating shows.

Clearly, there's something in the water in rural Australia, so if you're having a hard time finding the right person out in the city, maybe it's time to make the move.

Watching sweet, isolated farmers fall in love is something this country loves to do. But what’s even better than watching them fall in love? Knowing it lasted.

So here's our guide to all the Farmer Wants a Wife couples who are still together (and a bit about what they're up to now).

Brad Jones and Clare Hockings.

Just two months after declaring their love for each other in the 2023 season finale of FWAW, the pair wasted no time in starting their next chapter together as Clare moved onto Brad's crop and cattle farm.

By July, the couple announced they were expecting their first baby together, with their beautiful baby boy named Roy Grahame Jones arriving in December.

"We didn't think it would happen as quick as it did," Brad told New Idea at the time of their pregnancy announcement. "We're on the same page and just happy doing life together."

In June 2025, they also announced they were expecting their second baby together.

And now, Brad and Clare are officially getting married!

In an exclusive with New Idea, the FWAW couple shared the beautiful (and slightly chaotic) moment that Brad popped the question.

"It was the worst day ever as far as weather, it was raining sideways, and it happened to be Clare's birthday, so I really wanted to do it on that day," Brad shared.

"That went out the window when it kept raining most of the day! So I literally did it in our house."

But despite the weather woes, Brad had cooked up a very elaborate plan for the proposal itself, which included playing up his existing knee injury to get Clare into the room without her suspecting anything.

"'I've buggered my knee!'" he told her. "Then Clare came round and said, 'What's wrong?', and I said, 'Oh, I'm no good!', and she went to help me up, and that's when I got on one knee and pulled the ring out!'"

"I didn't think twice, he's always complaining about his knees," she added.

When it comes to wedding plans, the pair confirmed that they will definitely be having a farm wedding, hopefully in September or October next year. After the baby, that is.

"… We've got a bit on before then with having a baby," Clare explained.

"We've only got a few weeks to go before the second one's here, I don't know how we're going to go to be honest, Roy's a handful and throw another baby in the mix, we're going to know we're alive," Brad said.

What exciting times ahead — a wedding to plan and a baby on the way. Congratulations are certainly in order.

Chris Newsome and Kim Tierney.

Season one started with a bang in 2007, with a successful couple right out the farm gate! It was there that Farmer Chris Newsome from Tamworth found love with Kim Tierney. The pair became the show’s first couple to get married and their wedding was even filmed for the second season.

"From day one, it was amazing how we connected... I'm quite slow to open up to people and warm to people," Chris told Woman's Day.

"Sometimes I'm a bit standoffish until I get to know someone, but when I met Kim I felt like I'd known her for ages."

Not only has their relationship lasted 18 years, they also share a son and a daughter together; Corbin and Charlotte.

Rob Hodges and Jo Fincham.

Season two brought beef and sheep farmer Rob Hodges from Mount Gambier to our screens as he fell hard for city girl Jo Fincham.

The pair met on the show in 2008, tied the knot in 2010 and had three kids together: Darcy, Maggie and Roy.

"I never thought in a million years that I would spend my days living on a farm and have three children," Jo told New Idea.

"But now, I just couldn’t live back in the city; there’s no way I could adjust back to city living."

Now, Jo's a yoga and pilates instructor who runs a health and well-being studio in Mount Gambier called The Nourish Nook.

Damian Atkins and Rachael Peynenborg.

Damian and Rachael had a fairytale experience on the show in 2009. The chemistry was immediate at the start of the third season and the couple now have three kids.

Their first, Harvey, was born in 2011 after some complications with Jo needing an emergency C-section, according to Digital Spy.

She said: "He was a larger baby... and he got stuck on the way out. I ended up having an emergency cesarean.

"In an emergency, I'd always want him [Damian] there... I think it was scarier at the time for Damian than for me."

The couple married in 2016, before having two more kids, Fin and Mae.

Together they run several beef cattle farms.

"We're doing great," Damian told Woman's Day, "Just trying to juggle our businesses, farms and our three crazy kids."

Scott Warby and Clare Spark.

Farmer Scott Warby and Clare Spark found love in the show's fourth season in 2009.

At first, they committed to a long-distance relationship, meeting up every second weekend for nine months before Scott popped the question.

The pair now have two children, Elsie and Fraser, and live in Mungindi.

They've been married for over a decade. Speaking to TV WEEK, Clare said, "Scott is very romantic... He always brings me wildflowers from the paddock and takes me on little getaways."

Clare also revealed that their children know how she and Scott met and think it's "hilarious".

Brad Crane and Stacie Marmion.

Another Season four couple has lasted the test of time! Lithgow cattle farmer Brad Crane has admitted in the past that he only applied for the show for fun and didn't have any expectations and yet it was there he met Stacie Marmion.

It was love at first sight, with Brad saying to Woman's Day at the time: "I remember telling the producer, 'I am going to marry that girl', and he turned and said, 'Not yet, we have another 10 shows to go first.'"

After meeting on the show, the pair dated for just six months before Brad proposed. He may have only applied for a laugh, but now, years later the pair are still married and have three girls: Darcie, Bobbie, and Frankie.

Nathan McClymont and Amanda Ecker.

If you think Brad and Stacie moved fast, then you haven't met Farmer Nathan McClymont and Amanda Ecker. The Season five couple met during the show and Nathan proposed... in the finale!

She said yes and they now have three kids together: Mason, Benjamin and Oscar.

"Mason is a football nut, just like his dad; they go to all the Eagles games together," Amanda told Mamamia, "Ben loves to swim and ride his bike... He’s a little entertainer."

Frank Atherton and Tenille Jolly.

All it took was a five-minute speed date for farmer Frank Atherton to know he had something special with Tenille Jolly in 2011 on the seventh season of the show.

Five years after they met, Frank proposed on Valentine's Day at his Hughenden property.

"He brought out some champagne and a plate of antipasto and dropped to one knee," Tenille told ABC.

"It was a lovely moment, and I did cry ... I had been waiting for it to happen because I love the man."

The pair share one child, Oliver.

Nikko Lord and Jade Truman.

Season eight saw love between Richmond farmer Nikko Lord and Brisbane yoga teacher Jade Truman bloom.

So much so that Jade decided to move out to the country and start her life with him.

"In 2012, I moved from Brisbane to a large cattle station 120km out of Richmond in QLD," Jade says on her website.

Jade's taken her yoga to the outback and wants to 'empower rural communities with the philosophy and practice of yoga.'

The pair got married in 2017 and now have two boys together: Jock and Sandy.

Sam Alford and Jodie Byrne.

The following season also saw love blossom with cattleman and musterer Sam Alford and travel agent Jodie Byrne. The pair tied the knot just three months after the show finished and Jodie left her life behind in Sydney to relocate to Sam's WA farm.

Marrying in 2015, the pair had their child, River, in 2018.

Jodie has since become a very talented macramé artist and runs a small business selling her work.

Andrew Guthrie and Jess Nathan.

Andrew and Jess declared their love for one another in the 2021 season finale and the pair confirmed they moved in together less than a year later.

“After exactly 11 months of long distance and a million lockdowns later, today has finally arrived,” Jess captioned a post on Instagram.

They revealed that they bought a house together in Delegate, NSW and shared their renovation journey on social media.

In 2024, the couple decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with one another and got married in a beautiful ceremony.

Harry Lloyd and Tess Brookman.

Farmer Harry and Tess fell for each other in Season 12 in 2022, with Harry declaring his love in the season finale.

''If I'm honest, Tess, I'm in love with you, and I wanna be with you,'' he said.

Harry proved how committed he was by temporarily moving from his farm to the Gold Coast to be with Tess.

''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.''

And that's exactly what Tess did. In 2024, the couple ended up moving back to Harry's farm.

Will Simpson and Jess Cova.

The second couple from the 2022 season are Farmer Will Simpson and Jess Cova.

Farmer Will revealed during the finale of the show that the pair haven't spent any time apart because Jess decided to move into his farm in Berriwillock, Victoria, immediately.

''Since the final decision, we've really ran with it,'' he said.

''I think our relationship is just blossoming as each day goes by,'' Jess agreed.

The couple adopted a dachshund puppy together named Clyde, and recently got engaged.

"Jess said yes! From farmer to fiancé! Our most special moment yet," Will shared on Instagram.

David McMahon and Emily Gordon.

The chemistry was instant between these two, with David immediately falling head over gumboots for Emily's infectious laugh and vibrant personality. In true romance-novel fashion, Emily packed her bags and made the big move to Pozieres to embrace farm life alongside her man.

Then in October, the couple shared the news we'd all been waiting for — David got down on one knee in what must have been the most picture-perfect proposal.

"Incredibly proud to announce, this Farmer has found his Wife," he wrote on Instagram, confirming what viewers had suspected all along — these two were the real deal.

The couple then tied the knot in a private ceremony, celebrating with a honeymoon in October 2024.

Matt Young and Olivia Benic from the 2023 season are still going strong!

In a stunning August 2024 revelation that left followers speechless, Matt and Olivia announced they had been keeping a major secret — the arrival of their first child together.

"286 days of carrying you, 8 hours of labour without pain relief, and what has felt like a lifetime of waiting… our little bubba entered our little family happy and healthy on Thursday," they wrote.

"Thank you to our close friends/family/baggy clothes (haha) for helping us to enjoy this wonderful experience privately and with so much unconditional support."

The couple later revealed a wedding was 'on the cards', with Olivia seen wearing a ring on her ring finger ever since. It is belived they are currently engaged.

Dustin Manwaring and Sophie Trethowan.

From the 2024 season of FWAW, it seems that Farmer Dustin is still going strong with his chosen woman, Sophie.

"As soon as I saw you, I thought, 'you're absolutely gorgeous'," Dustin said during the finale.

"One thing you've taught me is to open up and be vulnerable. It's definitely made me into a better person."

Since leaving the show, the couple have taken significant steps in their relationship. Sophie packed up her city life and moved to Dustin's farm in Condobolin, NSW. They've been working hard to transform their living space.

"We've done a lot to the farmhouse so it's much more liveable, we've renovated the bathroom and knocked out some walls, fixed up the ceilings so they're no longer falling down, which is lovely! Dustin's brother has moved out and we're slowly chipping away at the garden!" Sophie told Woman's Day.

"No babies or ring that I know of," he told the publications, while Sophie added, "He's still testing me out!"

Todd Melbourne and Daisy Lamb.

Todd Melbourne and Daisy Lamb are happily building their life together after meeting on Season 14 of FWAW. Despite facing controversy when Todd chose Daisy over fan-favourite Grace, and navigating some family concerns, the couple have proven critics wrong by creating a strong relationship away from the cameras.

Their story has continued to develop since the show, with Daisy relocating to Todd's property in Baan Baa, NSW as she started a new job in the mines.

The couple have settled into farm life together, though not without the typical domestic adjustments that come with cohabitation.

"We're building this life together and a future, we have our own little place that's 40 acres that has our horses and dogs," Daisy said about their life together.

"We still want kids and marriage – that will happen when it happens, and we're not in any huge rush. We're trying to get in a good place ourselves and set ourselves up for the future."
