The quest for love on the farm proved to be a rollercoaster, even months after the cameras stopped rolling. As of today, December 18, 2025, fans of Fox’s hit reality dating show, Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3, are still buzzing about the shocking finale choices and the subsequent relationship updates. This highly-anticipated season, which premiered on March 20, 2025, introduced a new host, a fresh crop of eligible bachelors, and a dramatic twist that changed the game entirely. We’re diving deep into the current status of all four couples to reveal who has found lasting love and who has returned to the single life on the ranch.
The third season of the American version saw four hardworking farmers—Matt, Jay, John, and Colton—open their hearts and their farms to 32 hopeful women, all looking to trade city life for a country romance. The journey was filled with mud, tears, barn dances, and tough decisions, leading to a finale that left viewers with more questions than answers. Now, nearly a year later, the real-life updates have confirmed which of these relationships were strong enough to survive the pressures of the real world and the often-challenging long-distance dynamic between the farm and the city.

Season 3 brought four diverse farmers from across the country, each with a unique background and a different type of farm, making the dating pool varied and exciting. The season also marked a significant change in presentation, with country music star Kimberly Williams-Paisley taking over the hosting duties from Jennifer Nettles, adding a new, warm presence to the show.

The addition of Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the new host was a refreshing element, and her husband, country music superstar Brad Paisley, even made a special guest appearance to offer the farmers some love advice, solidifying the show’s authentic country roots.
The Dramatic Twist and Finale Picks: A Season of Shocks
Season 3 was not short on drama, particularly with one of the most significant twists in the show’s history: the farmers’ mothers were brought in to meet the women and, in a surprising turn, hand-picked a new set of ladies to join the farms. This move, which introduced fresh faces like Rissa (who sparked an immediate connection with Jay), added another layer of complexity and competition to the dating process.
The finale itself was a tense affair, with each farmer having to choose between their final two women. The pressure was immense, as the farmers had to weigh their heart against the reality of life on the farm, a central theme for the show. The final decisions were:
- Matt Warren’s Choice: Matt, the reserved avocado farmer, was torn between Jordyn Mallory and Chelsi Davis. He ultimately chose Chelsi Davis, a decision that felt right to him, as he saw a clear future with her on the farm.
- Jay Woods’ Choice: Jay had a difficult choice between Karina Sabol and Grace Clark. Despite the strong connection with Karina, Jay followed his heart and chose Grace Clark, gushing that she lined up perfectly with what he was looking for in a wife.
- John Sansone’s Choice: John’s final decision to pick Claire Dirette over his other final woman was one of the most shocking moments of the season for many fans. The choice was unexpected, but John felt Claire was the right person to share his busy life of farming and law school.
- Colton Hendricks’ Choice: Colton, a devoted father, chose Zoe Green over Keeley. He cited the prioritization of his son as a key factor in his decision, believing Zoe was the best fit for his family life.
The Final Verdict: Which Season 3 Couples Are Still Together?
The true test of a reality show romance is what happens when the cameras leave. The Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3 reunion and subsequent social media updates have provided a clear picture of the current relationship statuses for all four couples, and the results are a mix of success and heartbreak. The reality of long-distance relationships, farm life, and the post-show spotlight proved too much for most.
The Lone Success Story: Matt Warren and Chelsi Davis
Matt and Chelsi are the only couple from Season 3 who remain together as of late 2025. The avocado and exotic fruit farmer and his chosen bride have been navigating a long-distance relationship, with Chelsi based in Arizona and Matt in California. They have frequently shared glimpses of their continued love story on social media, including visits to each other's homes and farm life. They have discussed the challenges of the distance but remain committed to making their relationship work, giving fans the one success story they were rooting for from the 2025 season.
The Breakup News: John Sansone and Claire Dirette
Despite their shocking finale pairing, Farmer John Sansone and Claire Dirette called it quits just months after the finale aired. John confirmed the breakup in August, releasing a statement that described the decision as mutual and based on private circumstances. Their split was a disappointment to fans who saw potential in their connection, but the pressures of John’s demanding schedule—balancing a 170-acre farm with his law school studies—likely contributed to the difficulty of maintaining a serious relationship.
The Quick Split: Colton Hendricks and Zoe Green
Colton Hendricks and Zoe Green's relationship was one of the shortest post-show romances. Though Colton chose Zoe in the finale, citing her fit with his family, the couple split shortly after the season concluded. The cattle rancher confirmed their breakup and has since revealed that he has a new girlfriend, moving on quickly from his reality TV experience. This swift turn of events highlights the difficulty of translating a TV romance into a lasting real-life connection, especially with a family involved.
The Friendship Zone: Jay Woods and Grace Clark
Farmer Jay Woods and Grace Clark also did not last. Although they left the show as a couple, their romance quickly fizzled out after the finale. Sources and subsequent updates confirmed that the pair decided they were better off as friends. Jay, the hay and cattle farmer from Alabama, and Grace, his final pick, attempted to make things work but ultimately realized their connection was not strong enough to overcome the distance and the complexities of their separate lives.
Topical Authority: The Future of Farmer Wants a Wife
The high drama and mixed results of Season 3 have only fueled the show's popularity and topical authority in the reality TV landscape. The series continues to prove that finding love in the country is a unique challenge, often complicated by the realities of farm life, which demands early mornings, hard work, and a partner who truly understands the agricultural lifestyle.
The show’s success in highlighting the unique dating challenges faced by farmers—who often live in remote areas with limited dating pools—resonates deeply with viewers. While only one couple from Season 3, Matt Warren and Chelsi Davis, has managed to maintain their relationship, their success offers a beacon of hope for future seasons. The show's format, which forces contestants to immediately immerse themselves in the farmer's world, provides a more authentic test of a relationship than most other dating shows. Fans are already eagerly awaiting news on the next season, hoping to see another group of farmers find their forever partners.
