Logies Red Carpet Bombshell: Zac & Maya’s “Casual” Appearance May Have Just Exposed Their Secret Wedding Plans
Fresh-faced Farmer Zac brought the cutesy vibes to this year’s Farmer Wants A Wife, but his wholesome love story came with a side of big drama—and a red-carpet moment that has fans convinced the next chapter is already written.
The 24-year-old apple farmer from Forest Range in South Australia’s Adelaide Hills entered the show hoping to meet someone who could embrace country life and become part of his tight-knit rural community. After the speed dates, Zac invited Grace, Miranda, Mieke, Maya and Jessica back to his farm. Grace quickly emerged as a frontrunner after sharing the first 24-hour date and a kiss with him, while Zac’s sweet connection with Maya continued to deepen. Mieke became a dark horse, though she grew frustrated waiting until the season’s end for meaningful one-on-one time.
In a heartwarming finale, Zac picked Maya over Mieke. He described an immediate “spark” with Mieke but said his bond with Maya developed gradually through vulnerable conversations. Before the final choice, he farewelled Grace at the black-tie dinner, then tearfully told Mieke he could not see a long-term future. When he met Maya, he explained that the fear of losing her had clarified everything: he was “absolutely falling” for her and could “wholeheartedly see a future” together. Maya replied that she was “over the moon” and “definitely falling in love with him.” To seal the commitment, Zac invited her to his sister’s wedding.
The young sweethearts are still going strong. At the TV Week Logie Awards they walked the red carpet hand-in-hand, assuring fans their relationship has only solidified since the show. “I’ve learned and loved that Zac is 100 percent just his goofy self,” Maya shared. “I can be exactly myself around him and he can be exactly himself around me.” Zac noted that Maya “gets along with all my mates,” and the pair have seamlessly fitted into each other’s lives. Long-distance is “definitely not easy,” Maya admitted in an interview with New Idea, but they FaceTime almost every day, make every effort to see each other, and have spoken about a holiday together and the possibility of living together within the next year.
An insider previously told Chattr that nearly all of the farmers had split with their final picks, but “the only couple that are still together to this day are Maya and Farmer Zac.” Social-media clues reinforce the point: Maya follows several of Zac’s relatives (the only woman from his farm to do so), Zac’s sisters Isobel and Lara follow her back, and Maya was liking Zac’s posts even before the season aired. After the finale, Isobel briefly posted a photo with Maya captioned “Chose a good one”—a post quickly deleted, but one that signalled the family connection had continued off-camera.
On the Logies red carpet the couple addressed a pregnancy rumour with characteristic calm. “I am not pregnant,” Maya told New Idea. “I made a silly joke, I quoted Kylie Jenner and I was like, ‘19 weeks today,’ and people took it quite literally. Fair enough. But we are not with child.” Zac added “not yet,” and Maya clarified that starting a family is “something on the cards, but not now.” They plan to wait until their thirties.
Yet one detail refused to stay quiet. Maya’s choice of a sparkling white gown—reminiscent of a wedding dress—raised eyebrows and set comment sections alight. “Farmer Zac has found a Wifey,” one viewer wrote. The couple played it cool, deflecting questions about timelines and insisting nothing is imminent. Still, the bridal-adjacent look, combined with Zac’s invitation to his sister’s wedding, their public ease as a unit, and the family’s ongoing embrace of Maya, has left fans reading between the lines. No official date has been announced, but the optics on the red carpet have done the talking for them.
Zac’s journey was never free of tension. On the farm, conflict flared between Miranda and the other women, particularly Maya. After speaking with his twin sister Isobel and reflecting on the awkward atmosphere, Zac sent Miranda home. By the end he held strong feelings for Grace, Maya and Mieke, yet the gradual depth of his connection with Maya ultimately proved decisive.
For now, the apple farmer and his chosen partner continue to thrive away from the cameras—FaceTiming across the distance, planning shared holidays, and quietly building the country life Zac always hoped to share. Whether the white gown was pure fashion or a deliberate hint, one thing is clear: the wholesome couple who defied the post-show breakup trend are still writing their story together. Farmer Wants A Wife fans will simply have to stay tuned for the next chapter.
