The farmer is a dad

He found his perfect partner on a hay bale, now Farmer Chris and wife Kim invite Glen Williams to meet their beautiful baby girl, Charlotte Ann.

They were the original couple who turned The Farmer Wants A Wife into a television sensation. We couldn’t get enough of the unfolding romance between gentle giant Chris Newsome and the Geelong girl with the raucous laugh, Kim Tierney.

Not only had they been brave enough to lay their souls bare on a reality TV show, they found genuine love.

From the moment they met, sitting on a hay bale on the outskirts of Bowral, in the NSW Southern Highlands, they felt an immediate attraction. Somehow, despite the lights and TV cameras, the sudden limelight and the unreality of the situation, Kim and Chris fell in love.

Woman’s Day was lucky enough to follow this happy couple’s rural romance, announcing their engagement, and covering their wonderful wedding, which saw the people of Tamworth turn out in droves. And now their lives have been made complete with the arrival of Charlotte Ann Newsome.

“How can you describe perfection?” a proud Chris says, nuzzling his tiny girl as she wakes. “She’s just gorgeous with those beautiful blue eyes and wisps of blonde hair. Every time we look at her, we get a big kick of joy — it’s like adrenalin.

“Marriage brought us even closer together, but this little bub unites us even more.”

It only seemed fitting that Kim would go into labour while watching the latest series of Farmer. Four hours later, and with little fuss, baby Charlotte was born.

“I think I was born to have babies,” Kim laughs.
