Clare Hockings and Brad Jones

Season 13 (2023)

Beloved couple Brad and Clare found love on FWAW, and three years later, they are engaged with two children.

The fan favourites welcomed their first child together, Roy, in December 2023. 

“We didn’t think it would happen as quickly as it did,” Brad told New Idea in July 2023, revealing that they had discovered they were expecting before their season of FWAW even made it to air.

They welcomed their second son, Lachie Leigh Jones, in October 2025, confirming the news exclusively with New Idea at the time.

“Roy’s pretty obsessed with him; it’s hard to keep Roy from squashing him or hurting him accidentally,” Clare gushed.

“It is hard the first few days, but once we get into a groove, we’ll be alright.”

Their son’s middle name, Leigh, is the same as Brad’s sister-in-law, who sadly died in the weeks before Lachie’s birth.

“It’s been a hectic few weeks, to be honest. My brother’s wife passed away too in the past few weeks,” Brad told us.

“Lachie coming into the world, and he has the same middle name as my sister-in-law, so that was a nice thing. One way he’ll remember her is they’ll have the same middle name.”

Just weeks before Clare gave birth to Lachie, Brad also popped the question and asked her to marry him on their farm.

He proposed on her 30th birthday, but his plans for an outdoor proposal were scuppered when it started raining, he told New Idea at the time.

“That went out the window when it kept raining most of the day! So I literally did it in our house,” he told us.

“It really made my birthday, that’s for sure! It was really exciting,” Clare added.

Though they don’t have any wedding plans yet, focusing on their children, we can’t wait to see them tie the knot!

Dustin Manwaring and Sophie Trethowan

Season 14 (2024)

Even Dustin’s run-down cottage wasn’t enough to turn Sophie away from farm life, and the pair confirmed they are still going strong.

So besotted, Dustin even told host Sam Armytage he would change anything necessary to keep Sophie on the farm with him.

It’s no surprise the third-generation farmer is deeply in love. When he spoke to New Idea in 2024, he certainly hinted that things had worked out alright.

Explaining that although his family was hesitant about the show at first, he said, “Now after this all happened, they’re all pretty happy.”

“Dustin and I feel so lucky to have found each other on this show, we wouldn’t have met otherwise! We are both super grateful for the experience and to have found love,” Sophie wrote on Instagram after the show aired.

Jack and Sarah were so certain of their love for one another that they left the 2025 series early to be together.

“I can’t imagine my future without you. Sarah, you are a risk, but you are a risk I am willing to take. I do feel like I’m falling in love with you,” he gushed at the time.

During the reunion in June 2025, they revealed that they were doing long-distance, with Sarah still to relocate from Cairns to Jack’s farm in Tasmania.

“It’s hard with long distance [and] his communication skills aren’t the best,” Sarah told host Natalie Gruzlewski.

“I’ve looked into moving down the next few months, sending my animals first, then driving down.”

They keep their relationship very private, so we haven’t heard if Sarah has made the move yet; however, she did post from a tulip farm in Tasmania in November 2025.
