In the Farmer Wants A Wife 2024 finale, Farmer Joe expressed his love for Sarah, who donned a stunning yellow dress – just like the one she wore when they first met.
“This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made,” Joe admitted. “I love the person you are. I love how strong and determined you are.”
“It hasn’t always been easy with us. We’ve had some tough times. I’ve sometimes felt that you’ve pulled away. But I also know that you can be a shy person and take your time to get to know people.
“I also like that you challenge me. I don’t have all the answers for us, but I do see myself falling for you in the future. I want to tackle the future with you by my side, and us as a team.
“I’m looking for someone who doesn’t need me, but who wants me,” he added before asking Sarah to return to the farm with him which was a no brainer for her.
Unfortunately, this meant Farmer Joe had to softly let down his other potential suitor, Keely who was disheartened by the rejection.
“I was definitely hoping for a different outcome. It will take a moment to be okay, but I have been here before, so I know I will be okay. It is disappointing because I’m not his person,” she said.
However, many FWAW fans took to the comment section of the official Farmers Australia Instagram account to share their congratulations including former contestant Claire.
“Congratulations, you two fabulous humans! I was incredibly lucky to witness firsthand your beautiful love story unfold. The natural connection you shared from early on was undeniable to me, and being around you both, I could see how wonderful a couple you could be,” she wrote.
So are Farmer Joe and Sarah still together? Sadly, no. Sarah confirmed the couple’s split via her Instagram stories in August 2024.
“I was really hoping to not have to do this as I’m a very private person, but it’s incredibly hard to heal while constantly receiving questions and comments about the status of my relationship,” she wrote.
“Joe and I separated a few weeks ago. This has been one of the hardest times of my life so I want to sincerely thank those who have sent kind messages checking in on me and for welcoming me into this community. It’s been difficult without my friends and family around me but the kindness that has been shown is something I’ll never forget.”
“I understand there may be a lot of questions regarding why, but at this time I’m not ready to talk about that as I’m still processing the information myself. I really appreciate you respecting my privacy,” she concluded.
The pair originally confirmed their relationship status during the reunion episode, where the farmer admitted they “didn’t get off to a great start” as they learnt more and more of the finer details about each other.
Joe described it as less of a “honeymoon period” and more of a “sugar crash,” adding “weren’t seeing eye to eye, butting heads a bit.”
