Farmer Wants A Wife fans were saddened by the breakup of Farmer Andrew Coleman and Claire Saunders, who called off their wedding due to reasons out of their control. Despite a strong relationship since their appearance on the show, they had to cancel their plans. Meanwhile, the upcoming season faced backlash for casting young farmers, with fans expressing a desire for more age diversity among the contestants. Additionally, the show faced criticism for not featuring LGBTQIA+ storylines, as plans for a gay or lesbian farmer on the 2025 season were reportedly abandoned due to a lack of interest from the queer community during the application process.
