22-year-old cattle farmer Tom, known for his pragmatic approach to life and dedication to his family farm, captured viewers’ hearts early on with his genuine charm and unwavering work ethic.
Throughout the season, Tom’s search for love took centre stage as he navigated the challenges of finding a partner who shared his values and understood the demands of farm life.
Amidst the trials and tribulations of the show, Sarah emerged as the frontrunner for Tom’s affections.
Despite the season still being in full swing, their connection blossomed and Farmer Tom made a touching declaration of love after sending the two remaining women home.
“At this point in time Sarah, you are the person I want a relationship with and I’m falling in love with you,” Farmer Tom said during the emotional episode, confessing that he loved her.
But what happens next? Whilst fans may have only seen their relationship unfold on television screens across Australia, they want to know if the couple are still together – here’s what we know.
Are Farmer Tom and Sarah Still Together?
Despite their romance blossoming throughout the season, Sarah and Tom are no longer together.
Confirming the news to Instagram, Sarah wrote, “I applied to FWAW with the sole intention of falling in love with Tom and I certainly surprised myseld with how deeply I felt for him in a short amount of time.”
“Unfortunately, that lifeling love that I was seeking did not turn out the way I hoped it would, but it’s definitely a relief now to put that truth out there that Tom and I are no longer together. Relationships don’t always work out and people are not always who you think they are.”
“Life goes on and I’ll forever be a hopeless romantic. I can’t wait to try again for the partner and lasting love that I know I deserve.”
While Tom has not yet spoken publicly on the split, shortly before confirming the news, Sarah’s fellow contestant Krissy revealed in an Instagram Q&A that the couple were no longer together.
Responding to a fan question asking if the rumours of their split were true, Krissy wrote, “It’s true. She deserves the absolute world.”
While she did not elaborate further on the couple’s split, Krissy shared that since she was sent home from the farm, she has not heard from Farmer Tom.
“I had spent five months wondering what I had done for him to act like this. Especially after he acknowledged that he would call for us to be okay and for me to get some closure. He never called… I have made peace, but I will never understand why I was never worth some closure after he said he would allow that.”
Speaking in her announcement, Sarah also gave a special shoutout to Krissy for her support and friendship on the farm, writing, “You have become one of my greatest friends. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. One of my kids at work recently asked if we were enemies and I just had to laugh!”
“We were roommates, friends, competitiors, confidants, hype girls, and everything in between, but certainly not enemies.”
