Just one year on from when their first date aired on national TV for Farmer Wants a Wife 2023, Brad Jones and Claire Hockings are already a family of three.
It’s been a busy ride for the popular couple, who met on season 13 of the popular dating show.
Find out what Brad and Claire have been up to since the cameras stopped rolling.
Claire and Brad’s FWAW journey
Fans were rooting for Brad to pick pre-school teacher Claire, however, his choice was up in the air until the final moments of the FWAW 2023 finale.
Brad took Claire and Morgan Gibbons on final dates, and met their families. At the homestays, Morgan’s family were hopeful for their daughter and Brad.
“Just by looking at her, I can tell she’s happy, which is wonderful. I’m curious to see how they plan on maintaining their relationship,” her mother said.
However, Brad decided that his feelings for Morgan were platonic, and decided to pursue things with Claire.
“we’re made of the same stuff, we love each other – let’s make it work,” he told Claire. “Pack your horses, pack your dogs.”
Claire gleefully agreed, declaring: “I have fallen so in love with you Brad.”
