“Now we’re ready to speak for ourselves.”

Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 couple Farmer Thomas Freeth and Clarette Goodhead have released a joint statement after the show finally wrapped up. The pair have been slammed on social media, with many questioning Clarette’s character. She was labelled as “jealous” and “needy” by viewers, with contestants like Daisy Lamb claiming she was given a “villain edit”.

While Clarette penned an emotional blog post about her experience on Farmer Wants A Wife recently, this is the most we’ve heard from her partner, Thomas. The couple shared a joint Instagram post showing their love story on Farmer Wants A Wife, and revealed why they refused to speak while the show aired.

“We’ve stayed silent for a long time. But now, we’re finally able to share our story — the real story,” Thomas and Clarette wrote. “What you saw on the show wasn’t the whole picture or truth. Yes, there were challenges and tough moments. But there were also so many real, beautiful moments that didn’t make it to the screen and it’s disappointing that so much of our love story was never shown.”

The couple explained they joined the reality TV show to find love, and what they’ve found with each other has blown their expectations out of the water. “Through all the noise, we’ve stuck together, and it’s only brought us closer and made us stronger,” they said.

“We’ve kept quiet, out of respect for the process, but now we’re ready to speak for ourselves. We’re still here. Still together. And we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next.”

The pair finished their statement off by thanking family, friends and the FWAW community for their support during their journey.

Thomas and Clarette receive an outpouring of support

Fans, friends and former Farmer Wants A Wife contestants flooded the comment section with supportive messages, with one saying they are “perfect for each other”.

“It has been uncomfortable to watch how you have been portrayed on TV. I’m so glad that despite the way you were treated, you have obviously found love in Clarette. Onwards and upwards now,” another said.

“So very happy for you both! Hate the drama the producers insist on pushing and so hope they get the message no one wins. Not y’all on the show. Nor the viewers or them. It’s horrible. I always hang out to hear what everyone says when they are free to speak out again! Would’ve loved to have seen your story told more truthfully but knowing you pushed through, grew closer and are going strong is so lovely to hear! All the very best for your future together,” a third wrote.

“Looking forward to seeing your real love story and what’s next for you both,” former contestant Tess Brookman added.

“Wishing you both love and happiness. No matter how they put a spin on things one thing was blatantly obvious, and that was the fact that the two of you had fallen in love. I am so happy for the both of you,” another wrote.

Now that Clarette and Thomas control their social media, hopefully, we’ll hear more from these two lovebirds.
