Romance may be in the air once again for Farmer Wants A Wife heart-throb Jarrad Wrigley, who is set to headline the Ekka’s Singles Mingle Monday event on August 11 at the Brisbane Showgrounds.

The 22-year-old country crooner and reality TV star is back on the market and embracing a second shot at love.

The shock move comes after his whirlwind on-screen romance with bartender Chloe Ilka came to a dramatic halt in June – just days before the reunion episode was filmed.

While the pair initially claimed they had ‘amicably’ parted ways, it was later revealed that Ilka pulled the pin just 48 hours before the cameras rolled on the reunion special, leaving Jarrad single – and perhaps more ready than ever to meet someone new.

Now, attention is turning to fellow Singles Mingle VIP Georgia Scarlett, a 20-year-old Australian country singer and radio host who will also perform alongside Jarrad at the iconic Royal Queensland Show.

Sparks are rumoured to be flying between the budding country singers and insiders say there could be more than just professional chemistry brewing between the pair.

‘Everyone’s so scared to meet people in real life these days. This is such a fun chance to get out there and maybe find something real,’ Scarlett told The Courier Mail.

Meanwhile, Jarrad offered his own advice to Brisbane singles looking for love: ‘Untuck your jeans, iron your shirt… and open your heart.’

In June, on the dramatic FWAW reunion episode, the fate of Farmer Jarrad’s romance with Chloe was revealed. 

Jarrad was tipped to find a fairytale ending on the show when he fell for 25-year-old registered nurse Chloe Harvey. 

But Chloe did show up for the reunion – and the pair admitted their relationship had not worked out. 

Jarrad revealed that ‘unfortunately’ they were no longer together – and it was Chloe who pulled the plug.  

‘That was me. I see Jarrad as a really good mate and support him in what he does,’ she said.

‘But I think until you’re living it, you don’t know. Our lives are on different paths.’

Chloe, however, added that she had some hope that ‘maybe in the future’ they would rekindle their romance – which left Jarrad absolutely beaming. 

Questions about the fate of their relationship had swirled for weeks, after fans claimed Jarrad had been behaving like a bachelor off screen.

‘He didn’t act like someone in a relationship,’ one festivalgoer told Daily Mail, alleging they encountered Jarrad at a country music gig in Tamworth back in January – weeks after he reportedly wrapped filming.

‘He was chatting up women left and right. He even joked about being ‘done with dating shows.’ Honestly, it seemed like he was single or just didn’t care who saw.’

Some viewers later questioned whether the aspiring country crooner joined the reality series as a strategic move to boost his public profile and music career.

Despite being described by some as ‘one of the nicest blokes you’d ever meet,’ Jarrad, a country musician by trade, has been slammed online by fans who believe the only thing he was truly chasing was a record deal.
