At the 2026 Farmer Wants A Wife reunion<\/a>, he said he\u2019d found his wife, but Farmer Dylan Scarborough confirms to Woman\u2019s Day that he had to make the \u201cdisappointing\u201d decision to break up with Ally Horsburgh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen filming finished and we were back into normal life, I spent a lot of time thinking about what the next few years would look like and I had to be honest with myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t willing to compromise on the goals and dreams that I\u2019m chasing. And I couldn\u2019t ask Ally to compromise on the future that she wanted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think that was fair. Ally deserves someone who\u2019s ready to build the sort of future she wants. Our lives were headed in different directions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why did Farmer Dylan and Ally split?<\/p>\n

Dylan, 25, says his ambitions to be a successful saddle bronc rider mean a lot of his life is going to be spent \u201con the road\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ally admits it was a hard conversation to have, as she was preparing to pack up her home in Maitland, NSW, and move to Dylan\u2019s farm in South Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was willing to reshape my life to join his but I also realised I needed to feel chosen in return. I was making plans to move and build a home and make that life work.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Ally, 23, says the experience has taught her that \u201ccompromise has to go both ways\u201d, she holds no hard feelings for Dylan \u2013 the pair are still close.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disappointed that it didn\u2019t work out but just because a relationship has ended doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s failed,\u201d says Ally, who spent two weeks on Dylan\u2019s farm post-reunion and reveals the couple split a month after it was filmed.<\/p>\n

Dylan admits he\u2019s \u201cnot proud\u201d of how things have ended up. \u201cEveryone calls me a man-child and they\u2019re probably dead right,\u201d he confesses, and says part of him got caught up in the romance of reality TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that played a part because the farm kind of takes a back seat in your mind and you\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah, this can work,\u2019 and then you\u2019re back to reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dylan and Ally on their friendship<\/p>\n

Both have no regrets though.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlly and I are really good mates and I really cherish our friendship,\u201d Dylan tells Woman\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ally says, \u201cDylan\u2019s kindness, humour and generosity didn\u2019t disappear when our romantic relationship ended. Sometimes the strongest connections are ones that evolve into friendship rather than end completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to learn to carry heartbreak without it carrying me,\u201d says Ally.<\/p>\n
