Three little words – I love you – almost always mark a milestone point in a new relationship. And, FWAW fans will be pleased to know that Will and Jess have reached that point.
During an Instagram Q&A, a fan asked Jess if they had said I love you, and if so – who said it first.
“Will said it first,” Jess answered alongside a sweet photo of the couple in bed together.
Jess told her followers that although Will said it first, she already knew she was in love and was thinking about telling him.
“Then when he said it to me I said it back,” she explained. “We both felt the same for a little while leading up to it.”
Jess was Farmer Will’s final pick on the reality show, and the couple moved in together shortly after filming finished.
“It feels like a massive weight’s been lifted this morning,” Jess told the Daily Telegraph at the time 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.”
