“I am so grateful to have my amazing family there by my side, now it’s till the next 4 months our beautiful baby girl will be born. What a incredible year it is so far 😊 farmer Sam found a wife.”
The former reality star’s post was accompanied by a slew of happy snaps from their big day, which showed Katelen’s son acting as a page boy.
The pregnant bride looked stunning in a bejewelled figure-hugging gown, which showcased her growing bump, Armani who was born in August 2021.

And all the other cheeky things she does everyday she always knows how to put a smile on our face.”

In a surprising Farmer Wants A Wife finale twist, fans were delighted to learn Farmer Sam had found love after having his heart broken on the show and leaving early due to the tragic passing of his grandfather.
Bringing his new love Kirsten on the show, Sam told the then host Natalie Gruzlewski she was “the best thing that’s come into my life.”
His love story took ANOTHER twist when it was discovered Sam had since become engaged to a different woman – Katelen.
Sam shocked fans with his whirlwind engagement to Katelen.

“[I] don’t know if it was my grandfather saving me for that someone special or maybe it was just good luck. Whatever it was I’ve never been so grateful and so happy to have her in my life,” he explained.
The couple also announced their pregnancy in December last year before revealing the baby’s gender just last month with a surprise confetti cannon full of PINK glitter.
Sam captioned the post, “Myself and Katelen would like to say we found out today, we are expecting a baby GIRL in August!
“We are very excited and can not wait!”
