Meet Natalie Gruzlewski’s husband

She’s played the role of cupid on-screen for years as the host of Farmer Wants A Wife, and now Natalia Gruzlewski is reprising her presenting gig on the show’s brand new season this year.

But offscreen, the 42-year-old has a blossoming love life of her own with husband Jack Ryan.

A year after Natalie split from her first husband in 2011 - former professional surfer Luke Egan - she married Jack.

Keeping the guest list tight, Jack and Natalie had a secret surprise wedding with just their closest family members.

“We thought, let’s just do it,” Jack told The Australian Women’s Weekly in 2012.

"We didn't want a large wedding, we just wanted our close family around one table for a relaxing lunch to celebrate with us," he revealed.

Natalie revealed at the time the reasoning behind keeping their nuptials a secret, and it was because she was pregnant with her first child.

"We didn't tell anyone they were coming to a wedding, so it was a huge surprise," Natalie said.

"I wore a beautiful Lisa Brown dress, it was so relaxed and amazing," she said, adding, "We loved every minute of it."

Natalie soon gave birth to daughter Olivia in January 2013. She is now seven years old.

The couple are known to be very private, but Natalie has spoken about her love of motherhood, as well as how she balances travelling for work with her family life on the Gold Coast.

“I absolutely love being a mum. I feel very blessed to have a healthy little girl and to be living on the coast [Gold Coast],” she told The Australian Women’s Weekly in 2014.

“It’s gone by in a flash. I try to enjoy every little moment with Olivia.”

Back then, Natalie said the couple had "no plans at this stage for a brother or sister for Olivia".

"I have the best of both worlds," she said at the time.

"But as any mum will tell you it's about finding that balance."
