The 2025 season of L'amour est dans le pré has officially launched on M6, captivating viewers with the stories of new contestants searching for love. While the daily lives of these farmers will only gradually become visible over the coming months, initial introductions of the 15 new candidates are creating significant excitement. The portraits are airing over several Mondays throughout January, with this past week featuring Samuel, a 48-year-old cognac producer and winegrower.
Samuel shared the struggles he faced since his previous relationship ended after his partner, who had been ill with cancer, recovered. "I tried getting back on dating apps, but I struck out," he revealed to host Karine Le Marchand, expressing his disappointment. His quaint admission about not being the picture-perfect romantic lead, saying, "I know I’m not Brad Pitt," adds authenticity to his quest for companionship.
On January 20, viewers tuned in for the second round of portraits, which included updates on beloved couple Hervé and Stéphanie from Season 16. Karine Le Marchand, the show's host, excitedly announced during the episode, “They are still together,” lifting viewers' spirits. Since their initial romance blossomed during the show, the couple expressed their desire to start a family and were seen planning to purchase their first home together, which they eventually achieved.
Viewers will also meet Géraldine, another intriguing contestant introduced during the January episodes. She stands out as the first alpaca breeder featured on the show. Karine detailed her unique business of selling handmade goods from alpaca wool and revealed how Géraldine manages her farm. "It’s the first time I meet someone who raises alpacas," Karine remarked, highlighting the fresh diversity of contestants this season.
Meanwhile, Anthony, another contestant, hopes to find love after significant personal losses, including the passing of his mother four years ago. The 36-year-old from Occitanie, who breeds organic poultry, has chosen to re-enter the dating world after prioritizing family duties. Anthony admitted to seeking someone open-minded and fun, expressing his desire to have children someday.
Across various interviews, contestants create engaging narratives filled with hope and adventurous spirits. Notably, as the season progresses, drama looms around the potential for love as contestants navigate their individual paths. Some have already shared their dating benchmarks, striving to connect with genuine matches.
Beyond introductions, the anticipation surrounding this season is palpable, especially after last year's success, where eight out of twelve candidates formed lasting relationships. Many fans expect new connections and suspenses to arise, all under Karine's expert guidance. "This year, the competition and joy of romance seem to be at all-time highs," fans excitedly share on social media.
This season has been touted as particularly special, introducing not only fresh faces and backgrounds but also re-participation from familiar personalities, like Thierry, Anthony’s brother. Thierry previously featured on the show several seasons back and shared updates about finding lasting love post-show, making it evident how impactful the program can be.
With the air of excitement and optimism surrounding the upcoming episodes, L'amour est dans le pré once again captivates audiences eager to see if these charming farmers will find true love.
