Months later, Andrew confirmed on Monday the relationship ended in a lengthy Instagram post.

“It feels the right time to share what’s been happening in my life on the farm and beyond,” he began.

“For someone who’s more used to being surrounded by sheep and nature than the buzz of social media, this is a bit out of the box. But here goes.”

He said that several years ago he wished to share the farm life with “someone special” and later signed up for Farmer Wants a Wife.

“I never imagined meeting such an amazing group of women, each with their own spirit and story. It was exciting and humbling, reminding me of how important love and connection are,” he said.

“Amidst it all, one extraordinary woman captured my heart, and we decided to give it a shot.

“We moved in together, dreaming of a future where our love would grown alongside the farm. It was fast-paced, passionate and fun.

“But life had other plans.

“Despite all the love and effort we both gave, sometimes things just don’t work out.

“Living together brought its own challenges, and we realised our paths weren’t meant to stay intertwined.”

He said it was “sad” the relationship came to a close, but that they “gave it our all”.

“Though it didn’t lead us where we hoped, it helped us grow. It’s been a huge outlay of heart and soul. And while it’s painful to walk away, we’ve both emerged stronger, wiser, and more attuned to what really matters.”

Coleman went on to thank his family, friends and supporters who helped him through the “tough times”.

“As I move forward, I’m choosing to celebrate the love we shared, the lessons learned, and the strength gained.

“No regrets, just gratitude. Now, it’s time to dive back into farm life. There’s never a dull moment with the challenges, adventures and pleasures that come from living and working on the land, and I look forward to sharing this journey, hoping we can all find inspiration,” the post ended.

The former couple announced their engagement in March 2023 after Saunders moved to Coleman’s Narromine farm in regional New South Wales.

After their engagement, Saudners and Coleman talked openly about starting a family and said they were keen to take their relationship to the next step.

“It would be nice to have twins first up and then see what would happen after that,” Claire said in March 2023.

“We’re approaching it with the mindset of, let’s enjoy one another first for a period of time and make memories of our own, and if things keep evolving in a positive manner, then that’ll come,” Andrew added.
