Farmer Wants A Wife Star Reveals Secret about Filming with Natalie Gruzlewski

Farmer Wants A Wife alum Olivia Benic, 26, who won the affections of Farmer Matt Young in season 13 of the series, has opened up about her experience returning to the show two years after her TV stint.

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, Olivia revealed her favourite part about appearing in Tuesday night’s episode was sitting down and chatting with the show’s host Natalie Gruzlewski. 

‘It was actually nice filming with Nat, because when we were filming previously with Sam [Armytage] and Nat, they’re working. They’re not talking to us,’ she said.    

She went on to say that fans are given the impression the hosts are close with the participants, but often that isn’t the case behind the cameras. 

‘I think the mirage of them being heavily involved in knowing us has failed, because you actually don’t get to chat with them much,’ she said.

‘So I think when Nat came for the visit to the farm, when we hung out there for the day, it was the most time that we actually got to catch up. So that was nice,’ she added.

Matt and Olivia welcomed their first child Henry in August last year, shocking fans after keeping the pregnancy tightly under wraps.

The reality TV stars shared the unexpected photo to Instagram.

It captured them tenderly cradling their newborn and captioned it with some heartfelt words.

‘286 days of carrying you, eight hours of labour without pain relief, and what has felt like a lifetime of waiting… Our little bubba entered our little family happy and healthy,’ they began.

‘Thank you to our close friends/family/baggy clothes (haha) for helping us to enjoy this wonderful experience privately and with so much unconditional support.’

They added they would now be taking a break from social media to ‘settle into parenthood’ and that they would provide more updates when they were ready.

In 2023, Farmer Matt sparked backlash on the show after he chose Olivia over his other love interest Annabelle.
