One of the breakout stars of Farmer Wants a Wife 2026 was undoubtedly Scarlett Horizon. A contender for Farmer Dylan’s heart, the 22-year-old, straight-talking polo player quickly became a fan favourite with her ground-to-earth persona and sharp humour.
While Dylan ultimately chose Ally — with whom he split shortly after filming wrapped — Scarlett left a lasting impression on viewers. Naturally, fans are wondering: where is Scarlett from Farmer Wants a Wife now?
From navigating a secret post-show heartbreak to forming an unexpected friendship trio, bullying and Bachelorette rumours, here is everything that has happened to Scarlett since leaving the farm.
Is Scarlett From Farmer Wants a Wife In A Relationship?
Scarlett and Dylan shared an undeniable connection on Farmer Wants a Wife, making it disappointing when he ultimately chose Ally in the finale. However, Scarlett’s romantic hurdles didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling.
In a candid interview with WHO, Scarlett revealed that while the series was airing on television, she was secretly processing another painful breakup. She explained that her post-show relationship ended when her “trust had been broken,” making it especially challenging to relive her televised search for love while simultaneously “losing that person” in real life.
Reflecting on the split, Scarlett noted that the experience taught her a few hard truths about love, particularly that “love alone isn’t always enough” and that it ultimately takes “two people who are willing to fix the relationship.”
The back-to-back heartbreaks temporarily shook her confidence, leading her to prioritise personal healing over rushing back into the dating pool. Guided by the philosophy that “hurt people, hurt people,” Scarlett shared that she wants to fully recover before considering a new relationship. Despite the difficult endings with both Dylan and her recent partner, she insists she “genuinely wishes them the very best” and continues to “choose gratitude over resentment.”
Scarlett’s Unexpected Friendship With Ally
On-screen, Scarlett and Ally were a dynamic duo, banding together on the farm when Dylan brought home intruder Keeley. While many assumed competing for the same man might fracture their bond, the two women actually forged a deep friendship off-camera.
In fact, that bond extends to Dylan as well. Scarlett revealed to WHO that Dylan and Ally have surprisingly become two of her “closest friends” post-show, praising them for being by her side through her hardest moments.
Ally echoed those feelings in an interview with Woman’s Day, calling her connection with Scarlett the true highlight of her reality TV journey. She reflected that if an “unexpected love story” came out of her time on the show, it was the love and friendship she built with Scarlett, adding that while she went on the show hoping for a romantic partner, she came away with a best friend. Today, the trio remains in constant contact through a shared group chat, with Dylan and Ally serving as Scarlett’s core support network.
Overcoming Online Bullying After the Show
While Scarlett handled her departure from the show with grace, stepping back into the real world brought a new set of challenges: online toxicity. Speaking to 7NEWS, Scarlett admitted that leaning on Dylan and Ally was vital in navigating the influx of nasty comments she received, many of which targeted her physical appearance.
“A lot of people are saying I’m ugly,” Scarlett revealed, expressing disbelief at how strangers on the internet could post such “disgusting” messages without fear, adding that she would “never, ever say that to even my worst enemy.”
Though the toxic feedback “hit a little bit harder in the beginning,” Scarlett has since developed a thick skin and now simply laughs off any cruel messages sent her way.
Closing out her reality TV chapter on a positive note, Scarlett shared a heartfelt message on Instagram following her exit episode. She thanked viewers for their support and reflected that while she didn’t find her person on the farm, the experience taught her that “the love you give will always be returned, just maybe not in the form you thought.”
Will Scarlett Be The Next Bachelorette?
Given her single status, it’s hard to think of a better candidate for Bachelorette than Scarlett. And the polo player has said she’d be down for the role. “Put me on as Bachelorette! I would love to find some mature, vulnerable men. I would definitely consider doing that. I mean, if there were some really nice, genuine guys,” she told Chattr. While The Bachelorette was axed in 2022 there are rumours that Channel 10 will be bringing it back in the new year.
