Farmer Dylan entered Farmer Wants a Wife (FWAW) as a handsome 24-year-old sheep farmer and rodeo rider from SA, but his adorable love story soon became the one to watch in 2026.
Passionate about horses and wildlife rescue, Dylan was seeking an outgoing partner who could support his rodeo dreams while building a future with him.
Dylan’s strongest early spark was with Ally, whose playful chocolate taste test earned her Dylan’s first 24-hour date. Their chemistry grew as she met his grandparents, opened up about marriage and children, and nabbed Dylan’s first kiss of the season.
However, this connection hit a roadbump when Ally walked off the farm after learning Dylan had kissed intruder Keeley, leaving him rattled. She returned to the black-tie dinner, saying time apart had clarified her feelings, and Dylan welcomed her back with open arms… and a controversial kiss.
Meanwhile, Dylan’s quieter connection with Scarlett only deepened in Ally’s absence. Scarlett’s future goals and ambitions seemed aligned with Dylan, who previously admitted his feelings for Scarlett had become equal to those he once held for Ally.
This brings us to Sunday night’s finale, as Dylan met both Scarlett and Ally’s families before he made his decision over who had won his heart. Out of all the Farmers’ finalists, this was the closest race of the season, begging the question: who did Dylan pick as his winner and did they actually go the distance?
What happened when Farmer Dylan made his final choice?
After introducing Dylan to her family, Ally and Dylan had a steamy hot tub session where the chocolate shop worker admitted her ‘strong’ feelings for the farmer. “I’m going to stick by you. If I’m dead honest, I am falling in love with you,” she said, as she wiped a tear from her cheek.
Ally wasn’t impressed that Dylan didn’t say anything back other than “thank you” (lol awks), but he made his feelings known away from Ally’s earshot. “She’s finally given me what I’ve been chasing,” Dylan said in a confessional.
But first, Dylan had to tell his other finalist, Scarlett, that their lifestyles clashed and his heart belonged to another. “I’m really sorry, Scarlett, but it’s not us,” Dylan told the polo player. “I have to lead with my heart.” Scarlett took the news beyond gracefully, telling him she understood his decision, even encouraging Dylan to “Keep your head up, you’ve got this.” What an absolute gem.

Dylan then admitted his true feelings for Ally. “I have to follow how I feel and I love you,” he said, as Ally hilariously asked “Me?” Dylan quickly added “I love you a lot,” as the two embraced for a kiss. “You’re not allowed to run now, though,” he joked.
It was a hilariously awkward fairytale ending. Ally admitted that Dylan’s made her think she was ‘doomed’ from his (rather grim) speech, but he announced they’d ‘fallen in love’ with each other in a final confessional together. Cute!
Are Dylan and Ally still together since filming Farmer Wants A Wife?
FWAW fans will have to wait until the reunion to find out Dylan and Ally’s fate. That said, there have been some curious comments made by them both during interviews that could suggest they’ve since split.
In an interview with Chattr, Ally spoke about her relationship with Dylan in both the past and present tense. “I really believed that Dylan was someone who would truly matter in my life,” she said. “I just adored Dylan. I feel like no matter what happens, we will make it work.”
In the chat, Ally wanted to reinforce how much she respected Dylan as a person while hinting at some troubled waters ahead… which felt a little like she was trying to appeal to Dylan himself. “I feel like I speak often in my interviews about how good a person Dylan is,” Ally told Chattr. “No matter the result of what happens, what you guys are about to see, just know that I still uphold that high respect for Dylan and do genuinely still believe that he is a gorgeous human being, and anyone who is with him is very lucky.”
Meanwhile, Dylan hasn’t been quite so nice about Ally in all his interviews. Dylan told Chattr he thought Ally acted “immature” when she left his farm.
“The other girls, as much as it probably did hurt them when I would go and kiss someone, they understood what was going on… she put herself first, which is good, but I think it could have all been solved over a talk,” he said.
Dylan was quick to talk up his runner-up, Scarlett, in another interview with Chattr. “A lot has been cut that I think really fleshed out Scarlett. I don’t know if they’re trying to make her look a certain way or something, but there’s a lot to Scarlett that the viewers haven’t seen,” Dylan told Chattr.
“She’s one of the most gorgeous people, like inside and out, she’s willing to do anything for anyone, and she’s a lot smarter than I think the way she’s coming across.”
Chattr asked Ally if she had noticed Dylan hadn’t been overly positive about her in interviews, and Ally agreed. “Yes, I have noticed that,” she said, adding “It’s impossible for me to umm… I always… I think you’ll just have to wait and see.”
Ally went on to suggest that something went wrong between herself and Dylan — potentially, after leaving the show as a couple. “I think it’s always important to speak positively of someone, no matter what happens,” she said.
This speculation is supported by what was shown in a teaser for the FWAW reunion. In the clip, it’s heavily hinted that Dylan and Ally have probably not gone the distance. “It’s not what I wanted,” Dylan is heard saying while seated on the opposite end of the reunion couch to Ally. Say it isn’t so!
But of course, we will have to tune in for the Farmer Wants A Wife reunion to know for sure whether Dylan and Ally are still together and if not, what went wrong.
Why Lily thinks Farmer Dylan and Ally won’t last long as a couple
While speculation about Farmer Dylan’s current relationship status has run rampant among fans, it has also transferred to some of the 2026 FWAW castmates. Lily — who was one of the ladies vying for Dylan’s heart before her self-elimination earlier in the season — is one such Lady who has weighed in on whether she thinks he and Ally can maintain their romance off the show.
If you recall, Lily was outspoken about her thoughts on Ally during her time on the show, and launched somewhat of a feud with the frontrunner when sharing her opinions in post-season interviews. Now, she has remained just as forthright while spilling on Farmer Dylan and Ally’s romance, which she predicts won’t last for a key reason.
“Ally wants babies straight away, and Dylan doesn’t,” Lily told Chattr. As for how she knows of this apparent relationship roadblock, Lily revealed that, during an unaired moment from their date, Farmer Dylan made it clear he wasn’t looking to have kids until further “down the track.”
“[Dylan said on our date] that he was actually really relieved to hear I didn’t want kids, because he didn’t want kids right now or in the near future, like down the track. I was like, ‘I’m exactly the same. I want to concentrate on my career,’ and he said, ‘Me too. I want to concentrate on my career and my rodeo,'” Lily told us.
She went on to claim that producers cut that moment from their date and, more broadly, “made it seem like Dylan does want kids.”
On top of the supposed mismatch over having kids, Lily reckons Farmer Dylan and Ally also aren’t aligned in their lifestyles. “They’ve got completely different things that they want out of life,” Lily told us.
“[Ally] didn’t want to do any farm work. She didn’t want to ride the horses. She didn’t want to play footy. I think it’s pretty clear that she doesn’t fit into farm life, like I said that multiple times on the show.”
We won’t know for sure if Lily’s predictions hold weight until the FWAW reunion, when we’ll hopefully get an update on where Dylan and Ally’s relationship stands now, and whether outside opinions like Lily’s have come to fruition. So, watch this space!
The Farmer Wants A Wife reunion special is expected to air on Seven and 7Plus soon.
