There’s been another shock plot twist to come out of the dramatic 2020 season of Farmer Wants A Wife, with Queensland farmer Sam Reitano revealing he’s now engaged to a completely different woman to who viewers saw him end up with during the show’s finale episode last night.

While Sam failed to form a connection with any of the four women he was matched with on the show, during Monday night’s reunion he introduced Australia to his new girlfriend Kirsten, who he met on Instagram after filming wrapped.
The pair appeared smitten with each other after dating for just a few weeks, with Sam even declaring Kirsten to be “the best thing that’s come into my life.”
But it seems Sam and Kirsten split soon after the reunion episode was filmed, as the tropical fruit farmer is now engaged to a different woman he met just months ago.
Sam’s shock engagement news was revealed on Facebook just hours after the finale aired, with his new fiancee Katelen Cunningham posting a happy snap of her shiny engagement ring on her personal page.
She also updated her relationship status to reflect that she is now engaged to Sam.
It appears Katelen is also a mother, with a young boy visible in many of her Facebook photos.
There are also several happy snaps featuring Sam, Katelen and what appears to be her son, enjoying some family time together.
In the comments section on Katelen’s Facebook announcement, the couple’s loved ones congratulated them on their happy news.
“Thanks for making her the happiest I’ve ever seen her Sam. She’s a bit spesh this one,” one friend wrote, to which Sam replied, “No problem! She is very special and amazing so proud to have her.”
Sam is yet to comment on his public Instagram account with news of his surprise engagement.
Only two out of the five farmers this season managed to find love on the show.
Farmer Neil Seaman and his chosen woman Justine Adams are still going strong, as are Alex Taylor and his girlfriend Henrietta Moore.
Farmer Alex “pulled a Blake Garvey” during the show’s finale episode, dumping his winner Jess Wolfe after realising the pair were better off as just friends, before reconnecting with Henrietta.
Channel Seven wrapped filming on Farmer Wants A Wife back in March, just days before strict lockdown laws were implemented across the country.
