Are Zac and Maya the only FWAW couple still together? A deleted photo spoils relationship status

Fresh-faced Farmer Zac brought the cutesy vibes to this year’s Farmer Wants A Wife (FWAW), but his wholesome love story came with a side of big drama.

The 24-year-old apple farmer from Forest Range in South Australia’s Adelaide Hills entered FWAW hoping to meet someone who could embrace country life and become part of his tight-knit rural community.

After the speed dates, Zac invited Grace, Miranda, Mieke, Maya and Jessica back to his farm. Grace quickly emerged as a frontrunner after sharing the first 24-hour date and a kiss with him, while Zac’s sweet connection with Maya continued to deepen. Meanwhile, Mieke became a dark horse, although she grew frustrated that she had to wait until the season’s end for some one-on-one time.

But Zac’s journey was not without drama. On the farm, tensions flared between Miranda and the other women, particularly Maya, who spoke to Zac’s twin sister Isobel about the conflict. After hearing Isobel’s concerns and reflecting on the awkies atmosphere, Zac ultimately sent Miranda home.

As the finale approached, Zac had strong feelings for Grace, Maya and Mieke. However, he farewelled Grace at the black-tie dinner, leaving Mieke and Maya as the final two women competing for his heart.

All season, there have been conflicting reports suggesting that none of the Farmers stayed with their winners. But has Zac defied these rumours? Read on for everything we know.

Farmer Zac’s journey on Farmer Wants A Wife ended with him choosing Maya over Mieke.

He described his bond with Mieke as an immediate “spark”, but his relationship with Maya developed gradually, strengthening slowly through vulnerable conversations.

Before revealing his winner, Zac broke the news to Mieke. He acknowledged their chemistry but admitted he could not see their relationship working in the longterm. The emotional decision left Zac in tears, with Mieke comforting him despite being rejected. She later said she was “definitely a little bit heartbroken” but remained hopeful she would find the right person.

Zac then met Maya and explained that the possibility of losing her had clarified his feelings. “When you expressed your feelings about potentially leaving and going home, it was in that moment that I truly realised how close I was to losing you,” he said.

Zac told her he was “absolutely falling” for her and he could “wholeheartedly see a future” together.

Maya said she was “over the moon,” to finally be the last woman standing. “I’m definitely falling in love with him. He is the guy I’ve been looking for.” To mark his commitment to Maya, Zac then invited her to his sister’s wedding. Cuties!

Viewers will not know for certain whether Farmer Zac and Maya are still together until the Farmer Wants A Wife 2026 reunion airs on Sunday, August 2.

But the good news is that in the reunion trailer, Maya and Zac do seem together. “Wedding bells on the horizon?” host Natalie Gruzlewski asks the twosome, as Maya turns to Zac to say “I might let you answer that.”

Add to this, social media clues suggest their relationship may have continued after filming.

The strongest hint emerged after Zac chose Maya in the finale. On the night, Zac’s twin sister Isobel reportedly uploaded a photograph of herself with Maya and captioned it: “Chose a good one.” The image was deleted soon afterwards, potentially because it revealed too much before the reunion. Oopsie.

The post does not officially confirm their relationship status, but it proves Maya remained close to Zac’s family after the cameras stopped rolling.

Chattr previously reported that Maya follows several members of Zac’s family on Instagram. She follows multiple accounts sharing the Kuiper surname and she is the only woman from Zac’s farm to follow his relatives. Zac’s sisters, Isobel and Lara Kuiper, also follow Maya back, suggesting she has stayed connected with the family beyond the show.

Maya was seen liking Zac’s Instagram posts before the season began airing. Although neither has posted a couple update, the deleted photo and mutual family follows have convinced many fans that Zac and Maya are still together.

Of course, fans will have to tune into the reunion on Sunday, August 2 to find out for sure.

Farmer Wants a Wife can be streamed on 7Plus.
