\u201cWe know that we like each other. We like being with each other, and we just kind of take it day by day,\u201d Brett, 36, tells PEOPLE.<\/p>\n
The couple’s romance blossomed throughout the season, with Brett ultimately choosing Quinn, 26, during the finale<\/a>. Looking back, the Tennessee farmer says he realized she was the one after a pivotal trip during filming.<\/p>\n Brett Maverick and Quinn Guterman on ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ \u201cFor me, I don’t know if there was a specific moment,\u201d Brett says. \u201cAfter Maryland, I think that was kind of when it really hit. And then it just continued to grow as time went on. But yeah, I think after Maryland, that’s kind of when I knew that it was Quinn that I was going to pick.\u201d<\/p>\n Quinn, a medical aesthetician from Buhl, Idaho, had a similar realization.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter Maryland, I realized I had missed him during that stint of time while we were going to Maryland,\u201d she says. \u201cWe’d been around each other a lot, obviously filming. So I think after that, I was like, \u2018Oh, I missed him when I wasn’t around him.’ And it just kind of progressed from there.\u201d<\/p>\n Brett, who entered the process as one of the older farmers this season, says his life experience helped him recognize their connection quickly.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have enough life experience, you can kind of see people for who they are pretty quickly,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I think that probably did help a lot to know that Quinn was going to be it for me within the first two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n While viewers watched their romance unfold on-screen, both say some of their favorite moments happened away from the cameras.<\/p>\n One scene that stands out to Brett involved a flirtatious conversation that fans only saw a small portion of.<\/p>\n \u201cThe conversation where Quinn was winking at me,\u201d he recalls. \u201cThat whole conversation was a lot of fun, but you only got to see two minutes of it. The whole talk probably lasted 45 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n Over the course of the show’s roughly six-to-seven-week filming schedule, Brett says the couple’s connection deepened both on-screen and during the rare moments they were able to spend together away from production.<\/p>\n \u201cYou didn’t have people kind of in your ear about certain things. You could just kind of be yourself,\u201d Brett explains.<\/p>\n Brett and Quinn on ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ For Quinn, one of those moments involved a bag of Goldfish crackers.<\/p>\n \u201cI was walking out and had a bag of Goldfish tucked in my sweatpants because I was going off to do something,\u201d she says with a laugh. \u201cHe clocked it immediately and made some really funny joke.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was just a quick two-second thing, but I was like, \u2018Oh, okay. He’s funny and he can kind of banter with me a little bit,’ \u201d she adds.<\/p>\n Since filming wrapped around Thanksgiving, the pair have been navigating a long-distance relationship, with Quinn returning home to Idaho while Brett remains in Tennessee.<\/p>\n \u201cI got right back to work,\u201d Quinn says. \u201cIt’s a lot of Brett coming out here and hanging out. I’ve gone out to Tennessee a couple times and hung out. But mostly it’s FaceTime constantly and working.\u201d<\/p>\n Brett agrees, adding that their schedules have also included promotional appearances connected to the show.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s me going out to Idaho and just hanging out while I can,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Brett and Quinn on ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ As for what’s next, the couple says they’ve discussed the future but aren’t putting pressure on themselves to follow a specific timeline.<\/p>\n Asked whether engagement, marriage and kids have been topics of conversation, Brett admits they’ve touched on them, but not extensively.<\/p>\n \u201cYou’ll talk to the younger guys and they’ll probably jump all over that question,\u201d he says with a laugh. \u201cBut for us, we know that we like each other. We like being with each other, and we just kind of take it day by day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe know it’s going to be difficult as long as we’re long-distance,\u201d he continues. \u201cBut we take it for what it is, and we like being with each other. We take advantage of the moments that we can be together.\u201d<\/p>\n A move to Tennessee also remains a possibility for Quinn, though she says no decisions have been made yet.<\/p>\n \u201cMoving out to Tennessee is definitely not off the table,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I have a lot going on at home.\u201d<\/p>\n For now, the couple is focused on continuing to learn more about each other outside the unique circumstances of reality television.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know we like hanging out one-on-one. We know we get along with each other’s friends and family, and we’ve done that part,\u201d Quinn says. \u201cBut we haven’t been able to go out and do fun things and experience life on that side yet.\u201d<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think we’re excited for that and to see what comes after that,” she says.<\/p>\n You can watch all four seasons of Farmer Wants a Wife on Hulu.<\/p>\n![\"Brett](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2ff0fca59494480cd95dfc4ada287d27.jpeg\"\/)
