Zac and Maya might have walked away from Farmer Wants A Wife as a couple, but are they still together?
Whilst the couple confirmed at the 2026 reunion that they were still going strong, on Monday they announced that they had parted ways.
Taking to Instagram, the couple posted a video of their time on the show along with a joint statement confirming the split.
“From the beginning, our connection was strong. We then became each other’s best friends, which led us into an amazing relationship,” it read.
Navigating our relationship while being long-distance proved to be no easy journey. The timing for us to make that next move wasn’t right, and unfortunately, this shifted the relationship. We have therefore decided to go our separate ways.”
However Zac and Maya made it clear that their break up was an amicable one.
“We are so incredibly grateful to Farmer Wants a Wife for bringing us together. We will both cherish the memories and experiences we shared forever,” they continued.
“We still have an immense amount of love and respect for each other, and definitely zero bad blood.”
Long distance woes
In an exclusive chat with New Idea in August after the finale, the couple revealed that they had plans to move in together but had been navigating a long-distance relationship since filming ended.
“Long-distance is definitely not easy,” Maya said at the time.
“Though we have patted ourselves on the back a little bit. So far, it’s been pretty smooth-sailing because we do make time to go and see each other.”
Maya and Zac split their time between Zac’s farm and Maya’s home in Melbourne, and met the parents on both sides.
Maya was even Zac’s date to his twin sister Izzy’s wedding and they even hinted that marriage was on the cards for them.
“It’s definitely been talked about here and there, so it’s one of those things. I know Maya wants a two-carat natural diamond; let’s just say that,” Zac teased.
But Maya added, “For Zac and I, we’re going so strong, like there’s no pressure from me or him on making that next significant move in our relationship.”
“I think it’ll happen when it needs to happen and when it will happen, and we’re just looking forward to it either way.”
For now, they are looking ahead to moving in together over the next year and are planning a holiday in New Zealand.

What have the Farmer Wants A Wife cast said about their relationship?
Ahead of the reunion, Zac’s other final match, Mieke, showed her support for Maya and her new relationship.
“I’m so happy for them,” she told New Idea.
“I’m not the kind of person to be like, ‘Oh, they’re happy, and I’m single’. I’m so happy for them, and I have so much respect for both of them as people.”
“Obviously, I was so upset at the time that it wasn’t me, but that wasn’t a part of my plan.”
“I’m really happy that they’ve found love with each other.”
“I think it’s really nice. I have so much respect for both of them as people. I can’t say a bad word about either of them.”
Mieke’s family lives around the corner from Zac’s farm, so she might see the couple around, but there’s no bad blood at the reunion.
In fact, Maya said she had no worries about Zac’s close proximity to Mieke, insisting she is secure in their connection.
