Our Yorkshire Farm couple work together despite split

THE Yorkshire Shepherdess is still working alongside her ex-husband on their farm despite the couple’s split, her son has revealed.

Amanda and Clive Owen, the stars of television series Our Yorkshire Farm, announced their separation in 2022 but “nothing has changed” as they continue their day job together.

Reuben, 20, the pair’s eldest son, said: “Mum and dad were both there, working away, together, doing summat with the cows. That’s how it is. Nothing has changed in that regard. They just get on with it.”

He is one of the couple’s nine children based at the Yorkshire Dales farm that inspired Channel 5’s pastoral hit. The show contributed to the end of the relationship, they said.

Reuben will now star in his own farming TV show.

Speaking to the Daily Mail about his parents, he said: “They are both the same, really. They get on with whatever

jobs need doing. Great role models, really, brilliant. Farming away, out in the rain and snow.

“They are really tough, the pair of them.” He described his childhood on the farm as “grand”, saying: “I couldn’t imagine a better place to grow up. It was great fun.”

Reuben: Life In The Dales will show the 20-year-old and his friends navigate his own ground-works business, which includes bulldozers and earthmovers.

The new show is the latest spin-off from the Our Yorkshire Farm programme. One series featuring Reuben and his father was titled Beyond the Yorkshire Farm.

The original show was axed after five seasons after Amanda and Clive announced their separation in 2022.

Mr Owen, a farmer who married the 49-year-old former model in 2000, said last year that he had “a massive part to play” in their marriage ending after he “handled it badly” when the show started to take off. They first met in 1996, when Mrs Owen was working as a contract shepherdess and visited his farm, Ravenseat, to collect a ram. They went on to marry four years later, but grew apart over time.
