Farmer Wants A Wife: Alex's 'Blake Garvey' move shocks

Farmer Wants A Wife star Alex Taylor has left viewers in shock after he revealed that he’s dumped the woman he chose on the show to couple up with his second option.

Farmer Alex, 29, dropped the bombshell on Monday night’s reunion episode, which saw all the farmers come together to share an update on their love lives.

Alex left jaws on the floor when he admitted that he’d called it quits with Jess Wolfe and subsequently hooked up with her fellow contestant Henrietta Moore after wrapping up filming.

He explained that his feelings for Jess, 25, fizzled out once the couple started their ‘real lives’ post-show.

“I just kept on starting to feel that I could only see her as my friend,” Alex said.

“I couldn't see this romance blossoming that I was craving. My heart wasn't in it”.

To the surprise of his fellow farmers, Alex revealed that he’d reconnected with his former flame, 31-year-old Henrietta.

“I contacted Henrietta and we started talking again, and it just felt right. I still feel connected to her,” he said.

While the pair claim they started out ‘just as friends’ things soon blossomed once again.

“We are quite different people on some level, but soulmates,” Henrietta said before leaning in for a passionate kiss with Alex.

Fans took to social media to share their reactions to Alex’s ‘Blake Garvey’ move, calling the farmer out for his decision.

“WORST DECISION EVER! ... I’m so disappointed you and Jess didn’t work out, now that is what you call a true relationship... you need to say hell no to Henrietta!” one wrote on the official Farmer Instagram.

“Poor Jess. Henrietta is so wrong for Alex. Wtf can’t believe it,” said another.

Not everyone was against Alex’s choice, however.

“Yes! She’s the right one,” one viewer wrote.

Alex’s fellow farmer Harry Robertson might be following in his footsteps after hinting that he was still keen on picking up where he left off with Madison Mackenzie after splitting with Stacey Cain.

Sam Reitano also revealed he didn’t find love on the show and is instead in a relationship with a woman called Kristen.

Farmer Nick Onassis and Liz Jelley had called it quits but there was one success story, with Neil Seaman happily loved up with Justine Adams.
