Farmer Wants A Wife’s Jarrad Wrigley may have left the show last week happily coupled up with Chloe, but that hasn’t stopped some people speculating that the Farmer wasn’t on the series for the “right reasons.”
With rumours also swirling that the 22-year-old Farmer and Chloe were unable to make it work on the outside, some Farmer Wants A Wife viewers have taken to TikTok and Facebook groups to speculate whether Farmer Jarrad was on the show to further his music career.
One of Farmer Jarrad’s bands, The Filthy Animals, have uploaded some videos of the singer on TikTok, where some fans have been quick to question his motives.
“So this is his ulterior motive for going on Farmer Wants A Wife, self promotion,” one person commented. “NAHHHH, he’d SURELY have his groupies, so why the need to be on Farmer Wants A Wife?!” another said.
“Surely he didn’t have to go on TV to find a wife… just sing to me and I’m yours,” one hopeful person commented.
Farmer Jarrad’s band defends star: ‘We don’t want him tarnished’
The Filthy Animals, the band Jarrad sometimes performs with, have told Chattr that Jarrad is a good guy and that he “definitely lives and works on a farm”.
“We can’t speak for Jarrad other than to say, working with him, we’ve found him to be respectful, reliable and a damn fine talent we are proud to have in our band. His vocals add a different flavour to our songs which we love!” the band said in a statement to Chattr.

“Jarrad definitely lives and works on a farm and is older and wiser than his years. It’s The Filthy Animals [who] have been sharing these music videos not Jarrad…we don’t want him tarnished with a tag for only being on the show for his music career because of anything we’ve done to promote him as part of our band …He’s a good guy and we love working with him.”
Are Jarrad and Chloe still together in real life?
Rumours are currently rife that the young couple haven’t made it work on the outside, but of course we won’t know for sure until the Farmer Wants A Wife reunion airs.
The Daily Mail recently reported that Jarrad was out and about in January 2025, not long after filming, with a source saying he was acting like a single man.
“He didn’t act like someone in a relationship,” the person said, saying they saw Jarrad at a country music gig in Tamworth. “He was chatting up women left and right. He even joked about being ‘done with dating shows.’ Honestly, it seemed like he was single or just didn’t care who saw.”
Another source told the publication they had also encountered Jarrad out and about, saying he had a “flirty” demeanour.
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
