It was the feel good show that helped isolated Aussie farmers find a wife.

Hosted by Natalie Gruzlewski, the show ran on and off for nine seasons between 2007 and 2016 and boasts some of the best success stories known to local reality TV!

In 2020, we finally got the reboot we'd all been waiting for - Channel Seven revived the show with five hopeful farmers looking for love.

The season wasn't um, quite as successful as we'd hoped in the love department, but it sure did make some good television.

Then came 2021's brand new season, giving us one happy couple, and a bub for a second farmer.

Now, the farmers have been confirmed for 2022, and we know the new season is coming soon!

But all this new Farmer goss has us wondering: Where exactly did all the old farmers and city girls end up?

Well, we have good news – the show has enjoyed a much better strike rate than rival Married At First Sight.

We check in with your favourite key players and see what they're up to now...

Andrew and Jess fell for each other over the course of season 11, and finally declared their love in the finale.

Seven months after filming, the pair confirmed they were still together, and now a year on from the show, they're now living together.

“After exactly 11 months of long distance and a million lockdowns later, today has finally arrived,” Jess wrote on Instagram as they celebrated buying a house together in Delegate, NSW.

“So excited to start this next chapter with my love, starting with a big ol’ house reno on our brand spankin new property! (Well, new to us),” she shared.

Season 11 (2021) - Hayley Love

Thus far, the show had been a wholesome affair, but in 2021 it saw its first MAFS-worthy scandal. Hayley was one of Farmer Matt Terwin's girls before she was sent home and began a relationship with Farmer Will Dwyer. Fans were shocked when Hayley later announced she was 22 weeks pregnant with Will's child.

In a statement to News.com.au, she clarified, "I started my relationship with Farmer Will in December before the reunion episode was filmed a few weeks later in January. He told me he wasn't with Jaimee, and Jaimee was in contact with me before the reunion."

Soon after her genuinely shocking reveal, Farmer Will responded to the claims with a statement speculating if the baby was his by sharing on Instagram, "If this is in fact my child, I'll be there whenever the child needs me. Even if, as parents, we can't be a couple, our family will be filled with love for our child." On December 7 at 10:03 pm, the blonde beauty gave birth to a sweet girl named Daisy.
