Matt and Olivia, who first met on the 2023 season of Farmer Wants A Wife Australia are one of the success stories from the popular dating show.
The couple are still happily together and even have a family of their own.
The pair kept the news of Olivia’s pregnancy tightly under wraps, taking the opportunity in their Instagram announcement to thank close friends and family for helping keep the news private.
“286 days of carrying you, 8 hours of labour without pain relief, and what has felt like a lifetime of waiting…our little bubba entered our little family happy and healthy on Thursday,” the couple wrote on Instagram when sharing their baby news.
“Thank you to our close friends/family/baggy clothes (haha) for helping us to enjoy this wonderful experience privately and with so much unconditional support. We will not be active on social media for a little while, and will be taking our own time to settle into parenthood. We are so very happy and look forward to sharing more when we are ready.”
The couple’s family news came shortly after they shared with fans that they had bought a property together.
In March 2024 the pair cemented their love by purchasing the home. At the time they shared a photo outside their new abode writing: “Soooo we did a thingggg…!”
While the beginning of their journey was documented by cameras on Farmer Wants a Wife, fans have had to look to social media for updates on their life after the show.
Having kept their baby news a secret from the public until after the birth, the couple shared some insight into their pregnancy journey in an Instagram reel posted at the end of August 2024.
“Two weeks with our little one…a little snap shot of our journey from the past 10 months,” Olivia captioned the post.
The reel shows off some intimate moments for the couple during Olivia’s pregnancy, including viewing her ultrasound.
In the beautiful moment, Olivia beams at the camera as their unborn child can be seen on the screen.
Later in the video we see Olivia’s growing belly as she glows in a sunset picture surrounded by vast green fields.
The couple have yet to announce the name or gender of their child, continuing to keep certain elements of their life private for the moment.
Are Farmer Matt and Olivia Engaged?
In 2023, the couple sparked engagement rumours after Olivia was spotted on the farmer’s Instagram wearing a ring on her left hand.
Whilst eagle-eyed fans jumped to the conclusion that the pair are engaged, neither Matt nor Olivia have made any comments on the speculation.
The couple delighted fans in late 2023 when they took to Instagram to share their one-year anniversary.
“One year ago I was giggling with my friends about potentially going on TV to hopefully meet my life human. I thank the stars every day for letting us find each other (even if it was via the most chaotic of ways). I love how devoted you are, I love how patient you are… I just love you,” Olivia wrote to Instagram at the time.
Matt kept his reply short and sweet, replying with a simple “I love you.”
As the couple’s relationship was revealed in the 2023 season finale, Matt and Olivia expressed their excitement at finally being able to express their love in public.
“[It’s] very exciting – we don’t have to wear moustaches all the time (now),” Olivia previously told 7news.
“The locals have been really good at keeping the news quiet… They have held onto it tightly and they just gossip amongst themselves,” added Matt.
The couple also shared that they have since begun planning their future together, with the couple telling the publication,“We’re having those conversations about what the future holds and what the next steps look like – looking towards marriage and kids – and I think we’re both on the same page.”
