Are John and Claire still together from Farmer Wants a Wife?
John confirmed he and Claire were still together with an Instagram post after the Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3 finale. “What a ride, and couldn’t have asked for a better ending with an incredible girl,” he captioned a series of photos of him and Claire. The official Reality Club Fox Instagram account also seemed to confirm their relationship status by commenting, “TOO CUTE,” along with three heart eye emojis.
Claire, for her part, also confirmed she and John were still together with her own Instagram post after the finale. “Currently thanking my grandma for teaching me how to crochet ❤️ #farmerwantsawife,” she captioned a series of photos of her and John, including pictures of them together after filming ended.
John and Claire also confirmed they were still together in an interview with Taste of Country where they gave an update to their relationship after filming ended. “I’m a Catholic guy, and I’m sure Claire understands that too,” John said. “That stuff takes a lot of time. We got to know each other over a month, so there is still a lot of time to see where this goes and enjoy each other’s company. That stuff is for down the line, we will hold off for now.”
John and Claire also confirmed that they’re planning to take their relationship slow and not move in together just yet. John lives in St. Louis, Missouri, while Claire resides in Chicago, Illinoi—just four hours away by car. “We’ve been trying to stay on some sort of a schedule,” Claire said. “We thought it was going to be hard, [but] I think the hardest part is not being able to be out in public, especially in Chicago.”
The two also told Taste of Country what it was like to be together for the first time off camera. “It was hard because we were kept apart the entire time and had no one-on-one time alone,” Claire said. “After the finale we were just released to each other, so that was weird!”
“We just hung out, no cameras, talked about the show, talked about the choices,” John added. “Basically, just had a good time chatting without any pressure from the cameras.” Claire continued, “I think that’s why we’ve done as well as we have. We’re like, ‘Let’s just see where this goes, not put pressure on ourselves.’ We already had all that pressure, so let’s get to know each other off camera.”
The couple also discussed what they’ve learned about each other since cameras went down. “When Claire’s bothered by something, she’ll talk with her hand,” John said. Claire added, “I had to get used to his intensity. Sometimes you seem like you’re yelling, but you’re 80 percent joking. I’m like, ‘Why are you yelling at me?’ and he’s like, ‘I’m not!'”
