He was devastated when his early favourite, Claire, quit Farmer Wants a Wife after not seeing a future for them, but it appears Farmer Thomas has managed to find love in the end… with Clarette!
In episode 14, Thomas confessed the true depths of his feelings towards the British beauty after a romantic solo date to the rugged coastline of the Eyre Peninsula.
It was there that the 35-year-old surprised the teacher with a series of videos recorded by her loved ones back in the United Kingdom. In these clips, her family members gave Thomas their tick of approval and gave the duo their blessing to pursue a relationship.
“I want a wife and a family, and just to create memories with an amazing person [and] I believe Clarette can be that person. I can see a future with Clarette,” a smitten Thomas confessed to the cameras shortly afterwards.
While the Kimba-based wheat, barley, and lentil farmer has yet to formally commit himself to Clarette, the teaser trailer for episode 15 does show him doing this. In the same clip, Thomas is also seen gently telling his remaining ladies, Rachael and Laura, that his heart belongs elsewhere.
He is also seen looking very nervous ahead of what many fans suspect will be a proposal, but we will have to wait for the episode to air to find out if this truly is the case!
The on-screen confirmation that Farmer Thomas chooses Clarette at the end of FWAW doesn’t come as a huge surprise after it was reported that the latter had moved to South Australia to be with her beau in May.
After a local school newsletter, seen by New Idea, also confirmed in February 2025 that Clarette had joined their staff as a secondary English teacher, it became undeniable that the pair had indeed started dating after meeting on the show.
It was only a week prior that FWAW 2024 contestant Daisy Lamb claimed that several of this year’s girls had confirmed to her that Thomas, 35, would ride off into the sunset with the school teacher.
“Clarette ends up with Thomas,” Daisy told Chattr on May 9th.
Daisy, who found love last year with Farmer Todd, added that she believed Clarette and Thomas were still together, unlike Farmer Jarrad and his pick Chloe, who reportedly broke up shortly after they left FWAW as a couple.
Daisy also claimed that Clarette had packed up her life in New South Wales and moved to Thomas’s rural farming community hundreds of kilometres away from Adelaide.
“I was told by a couple of the girls from Thomas’ farm that Clarette is actually living at the farm. She is a teacher, so I’m assuming that she’s relocated and she’s working at a school there,” Daisy further claimed to Chatt at the time.
From the get-go, Clarette made it no secret just how attracted she was to Thomas.
In her pre-season Q&A, she explained that she was attracted to Thomas because: “He likes the beach and sports, which are two of my interests. I also like that he is looking for a free-spirited adventurer, as I’d say that I fit that bill.”
Thomas has also previously said on-screen that he could see Clarette fitting into his life in South Australia “very well.”
