Farmer Wants A Wife fans have loved watching Jess Nathan and Andrew Guthrie’s love story bloom since their time on the show in 2021.
The pair’s wedding aired on the show in 2024, with Farmer Joe Bobbin, one of the farmers on the show at the time, serving as a groomsman.
Jess and Andrew then shared the exciting announcement in November last year that they were expecting their first baby, with Jess writing at the time, “We’re so grateful to share that our little miracle is on the way.
“Holding close in our hearts anyone still waiting, hoping, and navigating their own journey.”
Sweet detail in Jess and Andrew’s birth story
Taking to Instagram on Monday, June 15, the couple—in partnership with Woman’s Day—announced they had welcomed baby Gracie Maree Guthrie in May, and revealed a very sweet detail in her birth story.
“Gracie Maree Guthrie. Entered the world 21st May to our wedding song, Beyond by Leon Bridges,” they wrote.
“Our perfect little person has us completely smitten and happily living in the newborn haze.”
Fans flooded the comments with love, with one follower noting they had loved following the couple since their reality TV debut.
Another added, ‘Watching your growth from the beginning is just beautiful, congratulations to all.”
“Congratulations!! Gracie is just perfect,” wrote a third.

Jess and Andrew share their fertility journey
Jess has been open about her struggles with endometriosis and infertility, and told Woman’s Day, “Everything we’ve been through, I would do it a thousand times over in a heartbeat.”
“It’s been awesome to be able to talk to different people about what’s worked for them, what they’ve struggled with and offering some support where we can.”
Andrew shared that he found it “surprising how many people are actually struggling with fertility”.
According to Endometriosis Australia, endometriosis affects approximately one in seven women, which means nearly one million Australians live with the condition over their lifetime.
Approximately 30-50 per cent of women with endometriosis experience infertility. However, while it does make conception harder, endometriosis doesn’t cause absolute infertility.
Jess and Andrew were able to get pregnant thanks to IVF.
Months before announcing her pregnancy, Jess took to Instagram in August to speak openly about the process.
“Endometriosis has been a tough part of my journey, and I’ve always known there would be a chance that I’d fight to become a mum. Some days have felt heavier than others, but like so many walking the same path, we’re giving it everything we’ve got.”
Huge congratulations to the new family-of-three!
