Farmer Wants a Wife star Hayley Love pregnant with Farmer Will’s child

“This is my story to tell”: Farmer Wants A Wife contestant Hayley speaks out about the baby bombshell that’s engulfed the reality show.

A contestant on this year’s season of Farmer Wants a Wife has come forward to set the record straight about bombshell pregnancy rumours surrounding the hit Channel 7 show.

Contestant Hayley Love has provided a statement to news.com.au, alleging she is pregnant with Farmer Will Dwyer’s child. Hayley, 25, had appeared on the show as one of the pool of contestants vying for Farmer Matt Trewin’s affections.

Hayley says she and 39-year-old sheep and cattle farmer Will struck up a relationship shortly after the show’s finale was filmed in December, but before the reunion — which will air on Seven on August 11 — was filmed in January. It is understood the pair ended their romance in April after Hayley told Will she was pregnant.

It comes after Farmer Will chose fellow contestant Jaimee as his final pick in the finale which aired last week.

Hayley, meanwhile, had been sent home earlier in the week by Farmer Matt, who chose to stay with Tara.

In the finale, viewers saw Farmer Will choose 32-year-old nurse Jaimee.

Meanwhile, Farmer Matt, 26, sent Hayley packing in the final week of the show.

“I am 22 weeks pregnant with Farmer Will’s child,” Hayley wrote in the statement.

Hayley went on to explain how their tumultuous relationship unfolded.

“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.”

It is understood Farmer Will and Jaimee will still appear together in the reunion episode.

Hayley, 25, said she couldn’t deny her feelings for Will, and after trying to call it quits, started seeing him again.

“You must remember we went on this television show to find love. I thought I could have that with him,” she wrote.

Hayley claims when another woman allegedly contacted her on Instagram to confess her feelings for Will, she decided once and for all 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 said when she revealed her pregnancy, she was surprised by his reaction.

“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 recalled.

“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 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 also explained why she had 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.”

Hayley’s statement comes after rumours had circulated, first reported on the So Dramatic! podcast, that a contestant in this season had fallen pregnant to a Farmer.

Last Tuesday, The Wash and Kidspot both reported they had received messages from various sources backing the claims, but not naming either party.

Before last Wednesday’s finale, Farmer Will had been posting about his reality TV experience on Instagram and tagging 32-year-old paediatric nurse Jaimee, however he hasn’t posted anything confirming their relationship since the finale aired.

Hayley was sent home by Farmer Matt — who went on to choose Tara — during finale week.

When contacted by news.com.au, a Seven spokesperson provided the following statement:

“The producers of Farmer Wants A Wife have extensive policies and procedures in place to create a safe environment for all parties involved in production and we continue to offer support to all our contestants. We wish Hayley all the very, very best for her pregnancy and life ahead. She will always have our best wishes.”

News.com.au also contacted Will, who declined to comment for this story - but has since posted a defiant message to his critics via Instagram.
