‘Over the moon for you both! Congratulations again lovers, let’s celebrate,’ added another friend, while a third said: ‘About time! Jessica and Will, Congratulations to such an awesome couple.’

The happy couple met during season 12 of Farmer Wants a Wife.

Will, a fourth generation crop farmer, fell for Jess during filming and declared his love for her during the 2022 season finale.

Jess later moved onto Will’s farm in Berriwillock, Victoria.

Originally from Queensland, Jess entered FWAW while working as a dental nurse.

On Wednesday, The Australian Women’s Weekly reported that the one time city girl has now settled into rural life and is working in nursing.

She has also joined the local netball team and works behind the bar at Will’s hometown pub. 

Will had viewers on the edge of their seats during the FWAW finale as he was torn between Jess and Madi Simpson.

‘I came in with an open mind in regards to love and falling in love but yeah, I honestly didn’t think I’d get to the point that I’m at now,’ he said on camera.

After weighing down his feelings for both the ladies, Will realised that his heart belonged with Jess.

‘When I look forward to my future, I see you in it. I want you to be in it. I really am falling in love with you, and I want to give us a go and I really hope that you do as well,’ he said.

‘I do! Of course I do! Oh, I’m shaking!’ said Jess as she kissed Will.
