With filming for Farmer Wants a Wife season 16 wrapping several months ago, many fans have speculated as to whether Farmer Jarrad and his final pick, Chloe, are still together.
Sadly, in the reunion episode that aired on June 23rd, they confirmed the sad news that they had since split in the months since filming had wrapped.
“Unfortunately, we are not together,” a sad Chloe confessed to a shocked Natalie Gruzlewski as she revealed that she was the one who called time on the relationship.
“I definitely see him as a really good mate, and I will always be there for him and support him in what he does, but I think you don’t really understand how hard it is going to be until you’re living it, and at this current time our lives are on different paths,” she continued.
Farmer Jarrad then chimed in: “Unfortunately, I couldn’t give as much time as I did [during filming], life went back to the way it normally is.”
While Chloe confirmed that she’d be open to revisiting the relationship in the future, it certainly seems like Jarrad will have to make plenty of changes before this can happen.
In a follow-up video shared to his Instagram on June 24th, Jarrad described his ex as an “amazing woman.”
“The decision she made was the right decision,” he added.
The update comes mere weeks after the former lovebirds made a cameo appearance in episode 13 of this season of FWAW, where Jarrad sang several of his original country music songs.
“To find my partner from this experience is incredible. I have found love. Chloe is my best friend. She makes me feel absolutely wonderful,” the farmer told attendees while onstage, a besotted Chloe by his side.
While Chloe did share several photos from farms and rural areas in recent months that indicated that she and Jarrad were still together, an industry insider confirmed the opposite in May, revealing that their relationship was never going to be “a long-term thing.”
“Jarrad apparently had a master plan from the get-go following his FWAW exit. While many within the Stanthorpe community, where he lives, know he was open to finding love, he made no secret that this was also going to help his country music career. So he jumped headfirst and in the end had a bit of fun,” the source shared with our sister publication Woman’s Day at the time.
Another source also confirmed to the Daily Mail that at a country music event in January, Jarrad was “acting single.”
“He didn’t act like someone in a relationship. He was chatting up women left and right. He even joked about being ‘done’ with dating shows. Honestly, it seemed like he was single or just didn’t care who saw,” they shared with the publication at the time.
An additional insider said that the farmer was “pretty flirty” at the event.
“If he’s still with the girl from the show, he’s got a strange way of showing it,” they added.
Despite being only six episodes into season 15 of FWAW, Farmer Jarrad committed himself to fellow Queenslander Chloe.
After sending all of the ladies whom he brought back to his farm in quick succession, the 21-year-old knew the race for his heart was between Chloe and Ash.
Both ladies wore their hearts on their sleeves as they got to know Jarrad and were open about their willingness to support him and move across Australia with him on all his farming endeavours.
But sadly, it was Ash who had her heartbroken by the young buck, who instead chose to pursue a relationship with Chloe outside the reality dating show.
“I don’t have any regrets. I think I’ve learned a lot about myself, and I definitely think there’s someone out there for me. [I] can’t wait to meet him. I’ll find my prince, I’ll find him,” a tearful Ash shared with the cameras as she came to terms with Jarrad’s decision.
While Ash departed FWAW single, Chloe walked away from her time on the series with exactly what she hoped to find – a partner.
“Communication is incredibly important to me, and it is massive in a relationship. I need a partner in my life who isn’t afraid to tell me exactly how it is,” Jarrad began his emotional declaration of deep feelings for his final lady.
“I am incredibly sorry for ever making you feel unwanted, and I need you to know that I will always do my best to be better every day because from this point on, I’d love to spend every day with you,” he continued.
“I really love how you are unreservedly yourself, how you push me to want to be a better man. I feel that I’m falling for you, and I do hope that you’re about ready to catch me because I will be absolutely honoured to have you by my side.
A visibly emotional Chloe couldn’t stop the smile from bursting across her face upon hearing Jarrad’s admission from the heart, telling the cameras shortly afterwards that it was “surreal” that Jarrad could one day be her “future husband.”
“I think it’s fair to say that this farmer may have found a wife,” a smitten Jarrad then added.
