The couple, who met on the latest season of the Channel Seven show, revealed that they’ve called it quits on their relationship after months of dating.

Sarah, 31, confirmed on her Instagram story on Monday, that she and Joe, 33, have been ‘separated for weeks’.

‘I was really hoping to not have to do this as I’m a very private person, but it’s incredibly hard to heal whilst constantly receiving questions and comments about the status of my relationship,’ Sarah wrote.

‘Joe and I separated a few weeks ago.’

‘This has been one of the hardest times of my life so I want to sincerely thank those who have sent kind messages, checking in on me & and for welcoming me into this community.’

‘It’s been difficult without my friends and family around me but the kindness I have been shown is something I’ll never forget.’

Sarah added that she wasn’t prepared to go public with the reasons for the split as she was still ‘processing’ the information.

‘I understand there may be a lot of questions regarding why, but at this time I’m not ready to talk about that as I’m still processing the information myself,’ she said.

‘I really appreciate you respecting my privacy.’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Joe Bobbin for comment.

Sarah and Joe first sparked split rumours back in May after the final episode of Farmer Wants A Wife showed Joe attending his best friend’s wedding without Sarah.

Joe is close friends with 2021 FWAW star Andrew Guthrie and sweet scenes of his wedding to Jess Nathan aired after the 2024 grooms made their decisions.

But livestock administrator Sarah was notably absent from the ceremony, with Joe instead video-calling her from the wedding, sparking rumours they had split.

Sarah responded to the rumours at the time, revealing that she and Joe were still together and said producers told her not to attend as not to reveal their fate to fans.

‘Joe and I are trying to navigate our new relationship, it’s all so new,’ she confirmed to 7News in a new interview.

‘[The producers] didn’t want to give away the ending — which is totally understandable.

‘It was always known that whoever ended up with Joe was not allowed to go because they didn’t know timeframes [for the series to air] yet.’

Sarah said she was told at the last minute that she could attend the wedding, but she had just started a new job near Joe’s farm in Bombala, NSW, and couldn’t take time off.

The news comes after FWAW host Samantha Armytage revealed that she was leaving the Seven Network on Sunday.

Armytage, 47, declined a new deal with Seven after her current contract expires in October, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Describing the departure as ‘sad and bittersweet,’ she told the publication that she felt her time had come and that she was excited about her future.

‘I’m big on instinct. I listen to my instinct. I know when the time comes. I am proud of the fact that I back myself enough to say: “I’ve done what I can do here” and I move on,’ she said.

‘This is not the end. It’s just the end of this chapter.’

Armytage will still appear at the upcoming Logies, with her show Farmer Wants A Wife nominated for Best Structured Reality Program, but she will not return to host the show’s next series, which is currently in pre-production.

The reality show’s original host Natalie Gruzlewski will return.
