NATALIE GRUZLEWSKI ‘THERE WILL BE DRAMA'

THE TV HOST ON LOVE, FAMILY AND CHEEKY FARMERS

- Stephen Downie

Much has changed since Natalie Gruzlewski last hosted Farmer Wants a Wife way back in 2012. Other dating shows such as The Bachelor and Married at First Sight weren’t on the Australian landscape.

And Nat didn’t have her daughter, Olivia, born in 2013. While she did host Nine Network’s short-lived dating show When Love Comes to Town in 2014 and was a weather presenter for Nine Gold Coast News, Nat has been missing from our screens for far too long.

So, what has the gorgeous TV host been up to? “I’ve just been focusing on family and my daughter, who is now 7,” Natalie, 43, tells New Idea. The Gold Coast mum has been married to property developer Jack Ray since 2012.

“I’m loving being a mum,” Nat says.

Now, she’s back fronting Channel Seven’s Farmer Wants a Wife reboot and, like slipping on that comfy gumboot, Nat is relishing the familiar feeling of hosting the show.

“I have such fond memories of Farmer Wants a Wife,” she gushes. “I’m such a huge fan. I’ve loved being back and getting to know our farmers.
