Farmer Wants a Wife Season 1 Where Are They Now
Two years after the reboot of “Farmer Wants a Wife” galloped onto American screens in March 2023, the show’s inaugural Fox season has carved itself into TV lore as both a celebration of rural romance and, for many, a lesson in the stubborn realities of life and love.
For fans still charmed by those early weeks of courtship and promise, here’s an intimate look at where Allen Foster, Hunter Grayson, Landon Heaton, and Ryan Black—and the women who vied for their hearts—stand now.
Allen Foster: Ranch Over Romance
The hope of Allen and Khelsi’s union faded faster than anyone expected. They announced their separation just days after the finale, in heartfelt but pragmatic terms. “Farmer Wants a Wife didn’t end how I’d hope as far as a relationship,” Allen wrote. “
However, I have gained friendships and had opportunities that will last a lifetime!” As of summer 2025, Allen is fully back to ranch life in Tennessee, documenting old farm dogs and new fencing projects on Instagram. Notably, he’s kept any new romantic pursuits private, if they exist at all.

Hunter Grayson: Crooner, Still Solo
Hunter and Meghan’s whirlwind love story unraveled by mid-June 2023. “We gave it our best shot, but it proved so much more than we thought. She wants to be in Tennessee, and I can’t sell my farm to leave,” Hunter explained in rhyme on social media—still winning hearts for his candor.
Hunter has doubled down on music and cattle, touring more with the Hat Creek Band. Despite relentless fan speculation, he remains single and focuses on singing—and farming—for now.

Landon Heaton: Back to Basics
Landon’s closing chapter was the most bittersweet. In a joint but separate set of social media statements, both he and Ashley Larea shed light on the real challenges of post-show life. “Following the final days of filming, due to unforeseen circumstances, I needed to be home with my family and then life got busy … [we] decided to go our separate ways in January 2023, to adjust back to 'normal life,'”
Landon wrote. Today, Landon is firmly rooted on his Oklahoma ranch, occasionally sharing his “work hard, pray hard” lifestyle but steering clear of public relationships.

Ryan Black: Happy in the Saddle
Ryan never got his romantic TV ending—Haley kindly declined his second-chance invitation in the finale, a moment equal parts awkward and touching. Ryan’s upbeat Instagram updates show a contented, growing horse operation in Shelby, North Carolina.
While he’s been linked to a few community events, there’s been no confirmation of a serious romance. “Some things are meant for the barn, not the screen,” Ryan joked in a recent interview.

Meet the Farmers:
Allen Foster
- Allen Foster, then 32, ran his cattle ranch in Santa Fe, Tennessee, with equal parts grit and warmth. A classic “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” cowboy, Allen’s scruffy beard and plainspoken ways drew women like Khelsi Stone and Rebecca Rosell to the wide-open spaces of Williamsport. Fans loved his self-deprecating humor and steadfast loyalty, especially during tense eliminations.
Hunter Grayson
- Hunter Grayson, 31, was both a cattleman and a crooner in Watkinsville, Georgia—owning a 200-acre ranch while fronting a country band. Hunter’s soulful guitar serenades, quick wit, and deep family ties set him apart as the “hopeless romantic” of the bunch. From free dive spearfishing to team roping, Hunter’s zest for life became appointment TV viewing.
Landon Heaton
- Landon Heaton, 35, represented Oklahoma’s heartland—steady, resourceful, and just mischievous enough to keep things interesting. His inner conflict and earnest quest for a connection made his journey especially compelling, as he pondered love between two Ashleys in a finale that set social media abuzz.
Ryan Black
- Ryan Black, 32, the “cultured cowboy” from Shelby, North Carolina, split his days between horse breeding, ranch chores, and surprising fans with his reflective side—a softer persona with a taste for good wine and great conversation.
Finale Farmer Wants a Wife Season 1:
The climactic choices of May 2023 were as dramatic as promised:
-
Allen Foster chose Khelsi Stone after a close decision over Rebecca Rosell. Their chemistry drew genuine cheers online, viewers hailing their “realness” and shy affection.
-
Hunter Grayson picked Meghan Baker in a heart-tugging twist. Meghan, who briefly left the show to grieve a family loss, returned just in time for the finale. Their slow-dance confessions and winning embrace became instant memes.
-
Landon Heaton selected Ashley Larea over Ashley Rader, creating a passionate discussion among fans—Team Ashley L. versus Team Ashley R. never truly died down.
-
Ryan Black, after previously sending her home, asked Haley Ramirez to take another shot at love—but she declined his offer, making Ryan the only farmer to leave alone.
