Farmer Alex and Eddy reunited at the Farmer Wants A Wife reunion following the bombshell news of their split.
New Idea exclusively revealed that the couple had gone their separate ways soon after filming, and now, they’ve finally addressed their separation.
So, who ended the relationship and what happened when the cameras stopped rolling.
Scroll down for all the details.
Are Alex and Eddy from FWAW still together?
Alex and Eddy have finally confirmed that they are no longer together, addressing their split for the first time at the 2026 reunion.
A disgruntled Alex told host Natalie Gruzlewski that Eddy had ended things two weeks after they left the show early via a 10-minute video chat.
“Pretty much as soon as the cameras stopped rolling, I felt as though she recoiled,” he explained.
“I can’t explain why she did what she did; I can only guess.”
Taking to the couch, Eddy said she felt like she gave the relationship a fair shot, but said they just had too many differences, including religion and politics, to overcome.
“Alex and I have very different relationship styles,” she said.
“Alex is a very deep, intense sort of person, whereas I’m a bit more go-with-the-flow, easy-going. For us, it was hard to overcome those differences.”
“Alex and I wanted to compromise and meet in the middle, but at the end of the day, neither of us is willing to compromise on those beliefs,” she added of their religious differences.
Religion was a major talking point between the couple on-screen, and Eddy said she realised it wasn’t something she was willing to compromise on when filming ended.
Eddy also said she felt Alex was too “intense” for her and wanted to slow the relationship down, but ended things when that never happened.
“There were just a few things that happened that made me realise that we weren’t super compatible,” she said.
“I just felt a bit of a shift in how I was feeling, and I wasn’t giving you what you needed in a relationship, and I don’t know if I ever would have been able to.”
“I wanted to give it a go, and I did want to slow it down and really tried, and I think you tried to slow it down, but it never felt like it slowed down; it just kept going, and it was just too intense for me.”
For Alex, he felt that Eddy never gave it a fair shot, but insisted that he wasn’t “heartbroken” despite declaring his love for her at the final decision, saying they hadn’t even dated long enough for him to “miss” her fully.
Are Alex and Eddy single now?
While there is no news on Alex’s relationship status, New Idea revealed that Eddy has already moved on with somebody new.
She has reportedly started dating an Aussie-based Frenchman who goes by the name ‘Matthis’.
Our exclusive photographs showed them looking very cosy during a low-key outing near Eddy’s Brisbane home on June 28.
Sources close to the pair claim that they were introduced to mutual friends at the start of the year and have been inseparable ever since.
FWAW finished filming at the end of 2025, though Alex and Eddy left early, and the reunion was filmed in January 2026.
What happened between Alex and Eddy on Farmer Wants A Wife?
While it seemed to be written in the stars for Alex and Eddy, who only had eyes for each other on FWAW, New Idea exclusively revealed that they quietly split shortly after filming wrapped.
Viewers were shocked to learn of their separation, given Alex’s tunnel vision on the show, and even Eddy previously told New Idea that she had a feeling he would pick her.
During their final scene, Eddy was full of mixed emotions and felt “no relief” when she was chosen because, “I think maybe I knew all along that he was gonna pick me.”
“When the emotions all calmed down, I was kind of like, ‘Oh yeah, okay, I was confident this was gonna happen maybe on some subconscious level’,” she told us in a recent chat.
“So I guess in that moment, it wasn’t really relief, I was happy, definitely happy.”
It certainly seemed like Alex had tunnel vision for Eddy from the beginning, with his other match, Rachel, even commenting on their connection.
However, Eddy admitted she worried that Alex wasn’t giving his other matches a chance, even fearing that it might have influenced his final decision to pick her.
“Part of me does always worry that he might not be 100% on that decision, just because, I mean, when you’re looking back on it, maybe he’s now realising he didn’t give them any opportunity or he didn’t explore a connection with them,” she says.
“But then, getting to know the girls, I’m also like, I don’t know if they would have been the right fit for him.”
As for Alex, he admits that while he was very focused on Eddy early on, and they “definitely had a lot of connection from the get-go”, he insists he gave the other girls a chance, too.
“There was definitely a moment earlier in filming where I was locked into Eddy,” he exclusively told New Idea in a recent chat.
“There were probably a good few episodes where I just didn’t really have eyes for the other ladies, purely because it took me a bit to adjust to the nature of the experience.”
“It’s a bit weird, as you can probably imagine, dating five girls at once. But as I moved through the experience and realised that all those girls were there to meet me too, I started opening up more to everyone else and giving them more time.”
Eddy was a clear frontrunner from the 24-hour date, where Alex gifted her a necklace in a grand gesture to cement their connection.
From then on, viewers were convinced that Alex would leave with Eddy, but for the farmer, the decision was solidified only after the “love letter” drama with Rachel.
“Eddie and I just had a really beautiful time towards the end of when we were filming, and it connected us even more deeply,” he sweetly shares.
“And that, coupled with the fact that I’d had a massive fight with Rachel and Suze, and I was feeling pretty platonic, there was no real other way it could have gone.”
“It wasn’t right to keep the girls on the experience at that point.”
While it appeared to be a fairytale ending on FWAW, things came crashing down soon after.
The news of their split was kept tightly under wraps until the reunion, but whispers began to swirl while the show was still airing.
“The plan was always to protect the ending,” one insider tells us. “Everyone wanted viewers to believe they were still together.”
What did their co-stars say about their relationship?
Alex’s other match, Rachel, had already dropped a telling hint that there was trouble in paradise.
Speaking to New Idea, Rachel said she never thought they were compatible long-term.
“Just from what I saw and experienced, I do not think that they are compatible in a multitude of ways,” she tells us.
“I honestly think that Alex was just infatuated with Eddy.”
