Brett And Quinn Tease Engagement Plans After Finding Love On Farmer Wants A Wife.

Brett Maverick and Quinn Guterman are giving fans the update they have been waiting for after finding love on Farmer Wants a Wife — and it sounds like their relationship is still growing, even with hundreds of miles between them.

The couple, who connected during season 3 of the reality dating series, have now spent about seven months building their relationship in the real world. Brett remains in Tennessee, while Quinn has returned home to Idaho. That means their romance has had to survive long distance, busy schedules, FaceTime calls and the transition from television cameras to everyday life.

So far, they appear to be making it work.

Brett told PEOPLE that he and Quinn know they like each other, enjoy being together and are simply taking things “day by day.” That may not sound like a dramatic reality-TV declaration, but for many fans, it feels more meaningful. After the pressure of a dating show, Brett and Quinn are choosing patience over performance.

Their connection became clear during filming, but Brett says one trip in particular helped him realize Quinn was the woman he wanted to choose. After the Maryland portion of the season, he felt something shift. The feelings continued to grow from there, eventually leading him to pick Quinn in the finale.

Quinn had a similar realization. She said that after spending time apart during the Maryland trip, she noticed she missed him. That simple feeling helped her understand that the connection was deeper than a fun on-camera flirtation.

Brett also believes his age and life experience helped him recognize the relationship quickly. At 36, he said he has enough experience to see people for who they are more clearly, adding that he knew within the first two weeks that Quinn was likely “going to be it” for him.

Since filming ended around Thanksgiving, the couple have had to navigate reality outside the show. Quinn returned to work in Idaho, while Brett has traveled to visit her when possible. She has also spent time in Tennessee. Between visits, they rely heavily on FaceTime and constant communication.

Still, the biggest question fans have is obvious: are they getting engaged?

Brett and Quinn admit they have talked about engagement, marriage and even kids, but they are not rushing into a fixed timeline. Brett joked that younger guys might jump at that question more quickly, while he and Quinn prefer to enjoy the relationship and see where it naturally leads.

That maturity may be one reason fans are rooting for them.

Quinn also said moving to Tennessee is “definitely not off the table,” though she still has a lot happening at home. For now, she and Brett want more time to experience normal life together — not just dates arranged by a TV show, but everyday moments, friends, family and ordinary fun.

That may be the real test.

Reality TV can create intense emotions quickly, but lasting love depends on what happens after the cameras stop rolling. Brett and Quinn seem to understand that. They are not trying to force a fairy-tale ending just because fans want one. They are building slowly, honestly and with real-world patience.

For viewers who watched their love story begin on Farmer Wants a Wife, that makes the update even sweeter.

There may not be a ring yet. There may not be a moving date. But there is still affection, commitment and hope.

And sometimes, that is exactly how the strongest love stories begin.
