BRAD & CLARE Meet our little FARMER ROY!

Popular Farmer Wants A Wife couple Brad Jones and Clare Hockings are loving every minute of first-time parenthood.

It's been three months since the pair welcomed their son, Roy Grahame, into the world. New Idea has been invited down to their farm in Cootamundra, NSW, to meet adorable Roy, with proud dad Brad admitting that, although life is now "different", it is a "good different"

"Roy is a really good baby," adds Clare, who fell in love with Brad on Farmer's 2023 season. She explains that things are "getting easier" as Roy grows older, and that she and bub are finally getting a little more sleep each night.

"In the very early days the lack of sleep was the hardest thing about motherhood course," Clare tells us. "But now Roy only wakes up twice a night which is way more manageable."

When Roy first arrived, Brad, 34, would wake up during the night to be with him and Clare, 28.

"A few weeks in though, I thought, well there's no point both Clare and I waking up tired, so we're trying to balance it out a little bit," he explains.

Brad and Clare agree that Roy has a very "laid-back personality". She says, "If he's really tired he'll cry, but otherwise he's just happy to be with us, chilling and smiling."

The horse lover is also happy to be back in the saddle finally.

"I'm back riding, which is a bit harder to do now," she says. "I have to juggle it a bit [with Roy]."

A smiling Brad interjects to joke that Clare now has two babies to put to bed - Roy and her beloved horse Prim!

If Clare has her way, Roy will grow up to love horses as much as she does.
