Karli Hinkley is becoming a farmer's wife after all.
The Farmer Wants a Wife star struck out with pineapple farmer Bert Harris in the 2024 season of the dating series, but went on to find love with Mitchell Gorman.
The Geelong-based marketing manager has moved from Geelong to Neerim South, Victoria, where she lives with potato farmer Mitchell.
The pair are now set to be married - and are expecting their first child.
Karli, 32, shared the happy news of her engagement on Saturday, two weeks after announcing that she's expecting a baby with Mitchell.
'It was always you and now it's forever,' Karli wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo in which she is showing off her engagement ring while cuddling up to her new fiancé.

'I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you always and forever,' she added.
Earlier this month, Karli showed off her baby bump in a joyous announcement on Instagram.
'Baby Gorman due December,' she captioned the photo, in which she bared her belly and gazed lovingly at Mitchell.
Karli sparked controversy while appearing on the 14th season of Farmer Wants a Wife after it was revealed she was hiding her secret romance with Mitchell while her relationship with Farmer Bert was still playing out on screens.
A source close to Karli said she was forced to conceal her dating status from the public due to her contract with the Channel Seven show.
'The show wrapped in December last year and Karli was actually done with filming in November,' the source said at the time.
'She has had plenty of time to put the show behind her.
'The final edit has been quite cringeworthy at times but with her heart and mind elsewhere Karli has been happy to laugh it off and play along with Channel Seven.'

Farmer Bert exited the show before picking his final woman, breaking the hearts of his top picks Caitlin Crank, Brooke McCallum and Karli.
Karli went Instagram official with Mitchell shortly after rumours broke that she had found love outside the show.
Some fans were quick to slam the announcement.
'Wait. What? Weren't you publicly declaring your love for a pineapple dude a minute ago?' wrote one viewer online.
One person wrote: 'That didn't take long after you were so in love with Bert.'
'Someone's determined to find a life partner... slow down woman,' said another viewer.
