The Season 3 finale of FOX's Farmer Wants a Wife delivered emotional revelations as contestants bared their hearts before the final decision. Zoe Green emerged as one of two finalists vying for Arkansas cattle rancher Colton Hendricks' affection, alongside fellow contestant Keely. In a vulnerable moment captured ahead of Colton's decision, Zoe confessed her deepening feelings with striking honesty:

"I know I'm falling in love with someone when I just can't wait to see them and I'm counting down the seconds to see him again."

The reality dating show, which pairs rural farmers with potential partners, reached its climactic moment as four farmers made their final choices on May 22. Colton's decision carried extra weight as he sought not just romance but a stepmother for his young son, Souther.

The Farmer Wants a Wife finale showcased the genuine connections formed throughout the season, with both women expressing readiness for commitment. Zoe's candid admission highlighted the authentic emotions that developed during filming, setting the stage for a decision that would determine whether her feelings would be reciprocated—or if she would leave heartbroken.


Farmer Wants a Wife’s Colton and Zoe’s journey so far

Zoe Green captured Colton's attention from their first meeting on Farmer Wants a Wife, standing out among the women hoping to win the charming farmer's heart. Her intelligence and confidence impressed both Colton and the viewers watching at home. The Arkansas rancher consistently praised her smart nature and the natural flow of their conversations.

Their relationship gained momentum slowly but steadily. By episode 5, their bond began to truly flourish after a lively barn dance where Colton chose Zoe for a solo date. That pivotal moment marked a turning point in their connection.

During their one-on-one time, they opened up about serious topics, including her career aspirations and the possibility of relocating to his hometown. Colton found himself drawn to aspects of Zoe he hadn't expected, even presenting her with a meaningful necklace as a token of his growing admiration.

The Farmer Wants a Wife finale showcased both finalists' emotional states ahead of Colton's decision. Zoe's competitor, Keely, shared her feelings in the pre-decision footage obtained by InTouch.

"Colton's just made me feel so beautiful and so sure of myself," Keely revealed.

She added:

"I just see a future with him. So, I'm ready to be serious and I'm ready to settle down."

Zoe's confession proved equally heartfelt but focused on the anticipation and excitement of their developing relationship. Her admission about falling in love centered on the simple yet powerful feeling of counting down moments until their next meeting.

Both women expressed genuine readiness for commitment, making Colton's choice even more challenging. Their contrasting backgrounds from his rural lifestyle added complexity to his decision-making process.

The cattle rancher and horse trainer entered the show with clear priorities beyond romance. His young son Souther remained his primary consideration throughout the process.

"He's the most important thing in my life. You can pretty much change everything about your life except for your kids," Colton explained to InTouch in April.

His search on Farmer Wants a Wife extended beyond surface-level attraction.

"For me, I'm looking at more aspects than what's on the surface level with these girls," he emphasized.

The father wanted a partner who could embrace both romance and parenting responsibilities.

Colton's ideal match needed specific qualities.

"I want a partner who's my best friend and is dedicated to our team winning," he stated.

He also sought someone willing to help parent his son and maintain household discipline.


What does the future hold for the couple?

When decision day arrived, Colton ultimately chose Zoe after an emotional deliberation. He confessed his feelings while acknowledging how much she had surprised him throughout their journey. Zoe reciprocated with warmth, admitting her affection for his playful personality.

However, practical challenges emerged immediately. Zoe's return to school for a two-year program created distance concerns that Colton openly addressed. Despite his worries about maintaining a long-distance relationship, both agreed to take things slowly and work through obstacles together.

Since Farmer Wants a Wife filming wrapped, the couple has maintained privacy about their relationship status. Their continued social media connection suggests their bond hasn't completely faded, though neither has confirmed whether they're still together. Only time will reveal if Zoe's falling-in-love confession led to lasting romance.
