This year’s season of Farmer Wants a Wife has been a ratings bonanza.
The finale nearly pushed The Block out of its firmly cemented top spot with a 35% jump in viewers. It received 1,126,000 watchers compared to the home reno show, which hit 1,354,000.
So, it should come as little surprise that FWAW fans are frantically searching to see which couples are still together – especially because the reunion was filmed six months ago.
For those wondering if their favourite couple is happily shacked up on a farm, read on for the answers.

Are they still together? Yes
Will and Jessica raved about each other in an interview with Daily Telegraph’s Confidential, and revealed that they moved in together shortly after filming finished.
“It feels like a massive weight’s been lifted this morning,” Jess told the publication about being able to make their relationship public. “It’s so good to feel like I’m not hiding.”
Will revealed that he and Jess watched the show together, which only strengthened their relationship.
“We watched most of the show together,” he said.
“It was really weird. Because that was six months ago, and we’ve developed such an amazing relationship since then, on top of what we’d done on the show.”
Though Jess’s story line on the show suggested that she wasn’t ready to move to Will’s country town of Berriwillock, Victoria, the reality star actually made the move just weeks after filming finished.
“The show was meant to air in May. I was going to be home for a month in April and move in May. But it was only two weeks because we couldn’t stand any more time apart,” Jess said.
“Our relationship has been accelerated the whole way,” Jess said. “But I don’t feel like I’ve rushed into anything. Even though it comes across like that.
“I feel like I’ve known Will forever.”

While Leish and Ben appeared to be happily together in the Farmer Wants a Wife reunion, the former announced today that she and Ben have split.
“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.”
