‘Congratulations! This is amazing news,’ added fellow 2022 cast member Aleisha Mackell.<\/p>\n

Benjamin made headlines four years ago after he made a hasty exit from the dating show when he faced a death in his family and his own health issues.<\/p>\n

His decision left Hannah and two other hopefuls, Lyndsay and Erin, devastated.<\/p>\n

Still, each of the lovesick ladies supported the sheep farmer from Guyra in NSW after he made his difficult decision.<\/p>\n

‘I care for him a lot, I\u2019m worried about Benjamin, I\u2019m worried about his health. We all hope he\u2019s okay,’ Hannah said on the show at the time.<\/p>\n

Based on the pair’s social media accounts, the pair reconnected not long after Benjamin left.<\/p>\n

The couple confirmed their romance on Instagram in September 2023.<\/p>\n

Hannah and Benjamin have come a long way after creating one of the most dramatic moments in the 2022 season of Farmer Wants a Wife.<\/p>\n

During an episode that aired that September, Benjamin was forced to come clean about his feelings with each of his ladies.<\/p>\n

The tension began as Lyndsay asked the hirsute hunk if he had locked lips with any of the other women vying for his attention on the show.<\/p>\n

‘Have you kissed anyone else?’ she asked, looking him straight in the eye.<\/p>\n

Farmer Benjamin nodded his head in agreement, before Lyndsay asked, ‘Erin?’<\/p>\n

Lyndsay was left heartbroken by Ben’s silent reply.<\/p>\n

Benjamin went on to admit he was feeling awkward after he confessed he had kissed two out of three of his dates.<\/p>\n

He then pulled Hannah aside – the only woman he hadn’t kissed – and told her she was the only one he didn’t feel a connection with.<\/p>\n

‘It’s not like I’m trying to keep secrets, I’m not trying to be deceptive,’ he told her.<\/p>\n

‘I got friend-zoned tonight,’ Hannah then confessed.<\/p>\n

‘I guess, just hearing that Ben had kissed Lyndsay and Erin tonight, it made me feel like I was not even second-best, like third-best,’ Hannah said before adding: ‘Yeah, it sucked.’<\/p>\n

‘I thought he hadn’t kissed anyone, it was the biggest kick in the guts to me,’ Hannah said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former\u00a0Farmer Wants a Wife\u00a0Benjamin Jackson has announced he is tying the knot with one of his former ladies…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297071,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,2039,146,150465,85,1114,46,12516],"class_list":["post-297070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-farmer-wants-a-wife-australia","tag-il","tag-instagram","tag-israel","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
