  • The couple's sudden separation surprised fans, as they had recently appeared happy and inseparable on social media.

The sole surviving romance from the popular reality show "Ljubav je na selu" (Love is on the Farm) has ended, with Ksenija Barić confirming her split from farmer Josip Đerfij. Barić's brief statement to RTL.hr, "Josip and I are no longer together, but I don't want to share details for now," left many questions unanswered.

This abrupt separation has shocked fans, especially since the couple recently presented a united front on social media, with numerous photos suggesting a blissful relationship. Their silence on the exact reasons for the breakup has fueled speculation, while Josip has yet to comment publicly.

However, Barić offered a more personal reflection on her Facebook page. Posting from a sunny seaside vacation, she shared a message that many interpreted as a direct commentary on her new life situation: "Some things in life you just let go... and then you realize how beautiful life looks when you breathe freely again." Her followers saw this as an expression of relief and a hopeful outlook on the future.

Adding a layer of symbolism, Barić used Miley Cyrus's hit song "Flowers" as the soundtrack to her post. The song has become an anthem of female independence and strength following difficult breakups. The couple's story began on Đerfij's farm in Suza, Croatia, during the show's 18th season. Barić joined the show seeking a fresh start after a long-term relationship, and she and the farmer quickly developed a deep connection that was evident to viewers.
