Hayley, who was one of Farmer Matt's ladies on the show, first revealed she was pregnant in a statement to news.com.au, where she said she connected with Farmer Will after the show wrapped up.
āI started my relationship with Farmer Will in December, before the reunion episode was filmed a few weeks later in January," Hayley revealed.
The two briefly dated, but it wasnāt until after deciding to end things thatĀ Hayley learned she was pregnant.
āOn the 2nd April I left his house thinking, āIām never coming back, Iām done.ā The next morning I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. I was terrified to tell him,ā she wrote.
She went on to discuss Will's involvement in the pregnancy at the time.
āIāve tried to keep things amicable with him, to be clear on what his involvement with our child will be. Iāve asked him to all the appointments and he did come to the ultrasound," she said.
After Hayley made the announcement, Will took to his Instagram toĀ break his silenceĀ about the baby.
āWhen the time comes, I will be the best Dad I can be,ā he said. āIf this is in fact my child, Iāll be there whenever the child needs me. Even if as parents we canāt be a couple, our family will be filled with love for our child.ā
Throughout her pregnancy, Hayley shared little updates along the way, where sheĀ penned a heartfelt message dedicated to her baby when she reached 26 weeks.
"Starting life with you has been a difficult one but I do not regret it one bit at all," she wrote alongsideĀ a series of photos of her cradling her baby bump.
