Who won 'Farmer Wants a Wife' 2025? A look at who's still together
Warning: Spoilers from the season finale of Fox's "Farmer Wants a Wife" Season 3 ahead.
From their attire to their values, Karina Sabol looked like the perfect match for Farmer Jay during the Season 3 finale of "Farmer Wants a Wife."
In fact, at the end of the first hour, following a successful family visit, it appeared Sabol and Farmer Jay might very well end up together. This is perhaps why some viewers were surprised when Sabol did not become the farmer's final choice.
Sabol, an operations manager from Madison with an athletic background that bonded her with the show's lead, entered the finale of the Fox reality show as one of two women left on Farmer Jay Woods' Alabama farm.
The former college gymnast's parents and sister met Woods and his parents in the first hour – fellow finalist Grace Clark met his family during last week's episode.
As the episode wound up to its climactic conclusion, Woods and the three other farmers on the show made their selections – and, despite their seeming synchronicity, Sabol got the boot in favor of Clark.
The show's concept revolves around the farmer finding a wife, however, there were no proposals at the end of the episode, and whether anything long-term comes from the relationships is yet to be determined.
Woods, a former college football player who now operates his family farm in Florence, Alabama, picked Clark, a 23-year-old nanny from Washington, as his supposed bride-to-be.
The spark between Woods and Clark was on display from the very first episode when he chose her for his inaugural solo date. Now, weeks later, he selected her again, this time to be the winner.
But first, he had to say goodbye to Sabol. Woods opened by saying that while she made the experience great for him, when listening to his heart, his connection with Clark was at a different level.
Sabol, clearly disappointed, told Woods that their relationship was more of a "slower burn," and that she was happy for him.
"I'm sad," she said. "We had a connection. I tend to foolishly love, and I may have done that. It has to be a two-way street, and it wasn't for us."
When it was time for Woods to confess his love to Clark, he told her he envisioned a future together, noting that their birthdays were just a few days apart and their faith had brought them together.
"I believe there are many signs that tell me this is my person, the stars really align," he said. "I would love if you want to continue to build this relationship, with a potential for me to fall in love with you."
After the two embraced, Woods also gifted Clark a puppy, later telling producers: "I think Grace is the love of my life."
As for the other farmers, here's a rundown on who they picked:
Farmer Colton chose Zoe Green over Keeley Goldberg
Farmer John chose Claire Dirette over Lily Ayres
Farmer Matt chose Chelsi Davis over Jordyn Mallory
It's not clear based on the season finale if any of the couples are still together. Filming for this season took place in fall 2024.
