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.
Dylan and Ally’s relationship remained strong throughout the season, and in the end he picked her! But, did the couple last in the real world? Read on to find out.
What happened between Ally and Dylan at the Farmer Wants a Wife Reunion?
As one of the most promising FWAW couples, fans were eager to get an update on Farmer Dylan and Ally’s relationship. The Reunion confirmed that after filming wrapped, Dylan and Ally spent time together on the farm and on road trips, but began seeing less of each other as the weeks rolled on — making it a long-distance relationship that lost its momentum.
Despite the obstacles, Farmer Dylan confirmed that he and Ally are still together, even as they work on aligning their schedules and managing the long distance. “What I feel for Ally is wild, it goes beyond love,” Dylan said in the Reunion. We love to see it!
Farmer Dylan and Ally broke up after the FWAW Reunion
Farmer Dylan and Ally’s loved-up relationship was short-lived, with the Farmer confirming in an exclusive interview with Chattr that he broke up with her a few weeks after the reunion was filmed.
“We went back to [my farm] in Adelaide and just yeah went about normal life for a bit, and then it kind of all got a bit much, I felt like I was stringing her along a dream that wasn’t hers,” he told Chattr.
Dylan said he began doubting whether his and Ally’s futures could work together, without her giving up on the things she’s dreamed of, so he broke off the relationship.
“I didn’t handle it too well,” he admitted. “I suppose, I didn’t really communicate the best I should have. But yeah, I essentially just called it. She wanted to try and make it work, but I felt cruel [staying in the relationship] because I wasn’t willing to compromise.”
“I just felt like Ally is a really cool chick, and I think she’s got her future planned out, and she knows what she wants, and I think she deserves the bloke that’s gonna give that to her, not some fella that’s not really willing to compromise on his dream for someone else. I don’t think someone should have to do that for me.”

Insider revealed Dylan and Ally’s split to Chattr before the Reunion
A week before the Reunion aired, an insider close to the couple spilled that Dylan and Ally split up shortly after they left the show.
“Dylan dumped Ally,” the source said. “It happened right after they finished filming. Dylan said that he ‘called it’ but he didn’t go into any further detail about why he broke up with her.”
The source went on to spill even more tea, saying that Dylan isn’t the only Farmer who’s split with his final choice.
“Nearly all of the Farmers have split up with their final picks since filming wrapped, the only couple that are still together to this day are Maya and Farmer Zac,” they told Chattr.
There were also hints from both of them during interviews while the season was airing that suggested the relationship had already ended.
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 hadn’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.
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.. until it wasn’t.
The Farmer Wants A Wife reunion special is expected to air on Seven and 7Plus soon.
