Farmer Wants a Wife contestant comes forward about bombshell pregnancy
A contestant from 2021’s season of Farmer Wants a Wife has revealed behind-the-scenes details about the bombshell pregnancy rumours surrounding the popular Channel 7 program.
Hayley Love has alleged to News.com.au that she is indeed pregnant with Farmer Will Dwyer’s child.
Hayley, 25, said she and 39-year-old sheep and cattle farmer Will struck up a relationship shortly after the show wrapped up filming its finale in December.
The contestant appeared on the show as one of the pool contestants who was vying for Farmer Matt Trewin’s love.
It is understood they ended their romance in April after Hayley told Will she was pregnant.
Farmer Will chose contestant Jaimee as his final pick in the finale which aired last week.

Hayley had been sent home earlier in the week by Farmer Matt, who chose to stay with Tara.
“I am 22 weeks pregnant with Farmer Will’s child,” Hayley wrote in the statement.
“I started my relationship with Farmer Will in December, before the reunion episode was filmed a few weeks later in January. He told me he wasn’t with Jaimee and Jaimee was in contact with me before the reunion.
“We’d started chatting online. (Then) I visited him at his house in Longwood and when our sexual relationship started. He told me he had feelings for me and I had feelings for him. From there, I saw him as often as I could, staying at his house for a few days at a time.”

Hayley went on to say she could not deny her feelings for Will and found it difficult to stay away from him.
“You must remember we went on this television show to find love. I thought I could have that with him,” she wrote.
Hayley claimed that another woman allegedly contacted her on Instagram to confess her feelings for Will.
It was then, she says, she made the decision to end things.
“On the 2nd April I left his house thinking, ‘I’m never coming back, I’m done.’ The next morning I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. I was terrified to tell him,” Hayley wrote.
She went on to say she was surprised by Will’s reaction to the pregnancy.

“It was a very quick phone call where he said ‘Yeah well we kinda knew that you were pregnant’. I said ‘no worries, I just thought you should know’,” Hayley wrote.
“I’ve tried to keep things amicable with him, to be clear on what his involvement with our child will be. I’ve asked him to do all the appointments and he did come to the ultrasound.”
“At the end of the day I have decided to keep the baby because I have enough love for this child with or without a biological father. I will be enough for him or her.”
Hayley has also revealed why she decided to come forward and share her story: “I am speaking my truth before it gets misconstrued by the public and tabloids who don’t know the full story.”
“This is my story to tell.”
Farmer Will had been posting about his reality TV experience on Instagram and tagging 32-year-old paediatric nurse Jaimee.
Since the finale has aired, he hasn’t shared any more posts with Jaimee.
