Discover the Four Suitors Seeking Romance on Season 3 of "Farmer Wants a Spouse"
Get ready to tune in, because FOX's popular reality dating show, Farmer Wants A Wife, is back on Thursday, March 20! To give you a sneak peek of the fresh batch of farmers seeking love below the Mason-Dixon line, I chatted with four of them in Nashville at a private event.
Colton Hendricks, a 28-year-old cattle rancher and horse trainer from Mena, Arkansas, got real about his quest for love and his journey of raising his young son as a single parent. Divorced and eager to find someone to build a family with, he admitted that dating in his small-town dominion probably wasn't the best solution, so he dived headfirst into this unusual opportunity. When it came time to select prospective partners, he took a unique approach by focusing on red flags, knowing it's easier to determine what you're not looking for in a partner.
Over in Florence, Alabama, Jay Woods eagerly talked about his 25-years as a hay and cattle rancher, a legacy passed down through five generations in his family. His love for farm life and longing for a partner who will embrace it led him to audition for the show. Likewise, Warrior Jay, as his friends call him, appreciates the importance of family and values a partner who shares those priorities.
Matt Warren, an avocado and exotic fruit grower from California with strong faith, was eager to find a partner who shared his vision of family and raising children together. Previously, he played college football but a tragic turn of events led him to retire. After taking over the family farm, Matt found his true calling on the land and is looking for a partner to share another aspect of his life - love.
Lastly, meet John Sansone, the 25-year-old "urban cowboy" from Missouri. He comes from a line of farmers dating back six generations and hopes his family's farm will be his ticket to finding the love of his life. A believer that no one should be alone, John wanted to experience the chaos that ensues when introducing women to his farm life.
As if they were well-versed in the art of dance hire, all four pumped palms and offered seats to me when I entered the room, showing their gentlemanly manners. When the conversation got down to brass tacks, they shared their raw and diverse backgrounds, featuring the occasional wise cracks and unapologetic laughter when faced with questions about the success of their romantic ventures during filming. Catch the heartfelt season premiere of Farmer Wants A Wife on Thursday, March 20, on FOX and Hulu.
