Farmer Seeking a Wife star Aleisha Mackail gives a major update on love life following her shocking divorce from farmer Ben Scowen
Farmer Wants A Wife star Aleisha Mackail gave her a big update on love life on Wednesday following her shocking divorce from farmer Ben Scowen.
The hospital administrator, 31, shared a glimpse into her life after the show as she revealed if she’s seeing someone new.
Despite moving to Toowoomba, Queensland where she bought her own house, Aleisha revealed in a Q&A on Instagram that she is still unlucky in love.
A follower asked if she had “found love” since Channel Seven’s matchmaking show shut down last year.
“No new loves,” she said next to a photo of her ironing one of her outfits.

“A few close calls. I’m still smoothing out the folds of my love life.’
The hospital administrator immediately formed a bond with NSW dairy farmer Ben, 27, on season 12 of Farmer Wants A Wife.
However, the couple was not supposed to announce their divorce shortly after the finale, with Ben quickly moving on with his new girlfriend just months later.
Aleisha made the first announcement when she revealed she’d tried “everything” to make their relationship work and was “absolutely shocked and heartbroken.”
“I did everything I could to keep our relationship going after the show. Including wanting to move to the farm earlier. Yes y’all, I always intended to move,” she said.
But sadly it was no longer there for Ben and I was left absolutely shocked and heartbroken. I gave it my all and fell in love with Ben, his daughter and family (which hurts just that little bit extra).
“I’m grateful for the support I’ve had over the past few months from the other girls on Ben’s farm and the other farms. They have been true selfless legends that have helped me heal,” she added, before wishing Ben “all the best” for the future.
The split came as a shock to FWAW viewers, as Ben and Aleisha had a passionate bond this season, often sneaking off to steal kisses.
She fell into hot water as the other women competed for the farmer’s heart after they caught her sneaking into his bedroom late at night.
Aleisha immediately caught the farmer’s attention and was invited to his farm 24 hours before everyone else – a favoritism that became apparent when Ben was drawn to her for secret goodnight kisses.
