It seemed as though Farmer Ben and Farmer Wants a Wife contestant Leish has found their happy ending after he picked her in the final episode of the reality show. Even if the reunion, which aired earlier this week, the couple seemed to be going strong.
However, Leish announced today that she was blinded sided when Ben suddenly dumped her.
“I am completely heartbroken to announce that sadly Ben and I have parted ways,” she wrote in an Instagram story.
“I tried everything I could to make our relationship last after the show (including wanting to move to the farm earlier YES everyone, l was always planning on moving) but unfortunately it wasn’t there for Ben anymore and I was left absolutely shocked and heart broken.”
She continued, “I gave it my all and fell in love with Ben, his daughter and family (Which hurts that little bit extra).”
“I am thankful for the support I have had these past few months from the other girls on bens farm and the other farms. They have been true selfless legends in helping me heal. I wish Ben all the best.”

Leish’s comments about planning on moving to the farm, despite fan’s doubt, echo a recent statement made by her co-star Jess Cova. While Jess and Will are currently living together and are happily dating, Jess said Farmer Wants a Wife tried to push a narrative that she wouldn’t move for Will.
“It’s been very surreal to watch the show,” she told Confidential. “Throughout, they very much tried to push the narrative that I wouldn’t move to be with Will. But I never said that I wouldn’t.”
“I was just being realistic about not being able to move immediately because I very much pride myself on being independent,” the nursing student said.
