This 32-year-old crop and cattle farmer may appear rugged and serious, but underneath Brad is a true romantic searching for ‘the one’ on Farmer Wants A Wife 2023.
It’s not an easy feat finding love while working and living on a farm in Cootamundra, NSW. While he admits it was a “joke” to apply for FWAW, Farmer Brad took the leap of faith when the casting call came through!
“It was a running joke with one of my good mates. He kept saying everything Farmer Wants A Wife related, he really wanted me to go on there,” he told TV WEEK.
And when Farmer Brad received a call back from Channel Seven, his friend “thought it was the best thing ever.”
“I thought bugger it, why not? I want to find someone, I’m looking for someone and I thought it would be a good opportunity.”
“The big thing was putting yourself out there for the whole country… was a shock.”
However, this self-proclaimed “larrikin” cannot wait to share his “farming lifestyle” and be with someone he is “happy to wake up with”.
“I like to think of myself as a good communicator and I have no trouble talking about my feelings,” he revealed to Channel Seven.
“It might be all that country music I listen to! I could write a few songs. But seriously being open and honest in a relationship is really important to me.”
Plus, we can reveal out of the eight female contestants competing for Brad’s heart Corista, Morgan and Clare stood out the most.
But in Farmer Brad’s journey for love, there have been some heartbreaks.
“The last relationship I was in, we loved each other but it didn’t work out,” he informed TV WEEK. “At the end of the day I chose the farm over being with her.”
In season seven, the network has revealed a television first as “every farmer will find real love,” but it seems Farmer Brad has departed the show with more than a partner but true friends!
Revealing there is quite no experience like FWAW, Brad still talks to fellow contestants David and Brenton.
“I think we all went on there for one reason and that was to find someone because we were looking for someone,” he said.
“I don’t think any of us went on there to become a celebrity or become famous out of it. At the end of the day were all farmers, we love what we do and we didn’t go on there to have a change in career.”
