For the first time in Farmer Wants A Wife history, the latest season wrapped up with every single farmer actually finding true love.

However, sadly one couple has just called it quits. Pour one out for Sophie and Farmer Brenton.

This news made us wonder what exactly the new couples are doing now that the cameras have stopped rolling. As Farmer Wants A Wife is renowned for its ability to create true love stories, marriages and eventually... little FWAW babies.

Here's what the couples from Farmer Wants A Wife 2023 is up to now. 

Farmer Wants A Wife: Brenton and Sophie.

Brenton was immediately drawn to Sophie when they met so it's no surprise the pair committed to each other in the final episode of Farmer Wants A Wife. 

But in the months since filming wrapped, Brenton and Sophie have since split. The breakup followed Sophie initially relocating from Queensland to Brenton's sheep and cattle farm in Darriman, Victoria.

“I have an update to share,” Sophie shared on Instagram on Tuesday, August 2.

“With a heavy heart, I want to let everyone know Brenton and I have gone our separate ways. Reg and I loved our life in Darriman and have been missing the farm a lot,” she said (referring to her dog Reginald).

“It’s a disappointing ending, but I’ve learned a lot about myself and my values. I wish Brenton all the best and want to thank everyone for their support, especially my family and friends.”

Brenton has not yet commented on the split. 

Farmer Brenton hasn't appeared on Sophie’s Instagram since June, which led fans to speculate that the couple had called it quits. 

Farmer Wants A Wife: Andrew and Claire.

Farmer Andrew knew Claire was the one as soon as he met her. And the feeling was mutual because they didn't even wait for the end of the season to come about before announcing they were together.

The pair left promptly in episode nine. 

In the months since filming, the pair have moved in together and they — including her two dogs — all now live on Andrew's farm in Narromine, NSW. 

"I couldn’t have asked for anything more," the farmer told 7Life.

"We share a very similar sense of humour but Claire is also kind, caring and she works really hard."

Clare has since moved from Tamworth to Cootamundra and in June, the pair announced they are expecting a baby.

Clare is currently in her second trimester and the baby is due in December 2023. She also confessed that they aren't the only ones who are impatiently waiting for the couple's first child.

"[Our parents] are so excited," Clare said. "Brad's parents just welcomed a new granddaughter the other day, so it'll be nice for our baby to have a little cousin close in age." 

Farmer Wants A Wife: Matt and Olivia.

As soon as Matt and Olivia decided to finish off the show together and the cameras stopped filming, the farmer left his farm to work for the Department of Agriculture in Canberra.

The pair were scared to commit to a long-distance relationship but Olivia has since moved to Canberra to be with Matt. 

"I was at a transitionary point in my life so I always wanted to move," she told 7 Life. "Matt has been really supportive and helped me settle into Canberra and meet his circle of friends, so it was a really smooth transition."

Farmer Wants A Wife: David and Emily.

For many viewers at home, it was clear David and Emily were destined to go the distance. During the final episode, the pair confessed their love for each other. 

Since filming wrapped, the pair have moved into David's Pozieres apple farm. Emily is continuing to teach at a local primary school. 

"We're enjoying this stage of our relationship," David told Now To Love. "And we'll have to keep you posted on anything else."

Emily admitted the experience still feels surreal.

"When you reflect on it, it's really unbelievable – the fact that I've met my person and fallen in love and it was from going on Farmer Wants A Wife," she said.
