Yorkshire Farm Stars Amanda and Clive Owen Call Time on 22-Year Marriage
Amanda and Clive Owen, the beloved couple from Our Yorkshire Farm, have announced their split after 22 years of marriage. The pair, who met in 1995 and married five years later, share nine children and run their farm together in Yorkshire.
Amanda Breaks the News of Divorce
In a heartfelt Instagram Story, Amanda Owen, 47, revealed she and 67-year-old Clive have decided to divorce. The couple issued a joint statement saying, “It hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the best decision for our family’s future.”
“Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together, with our number one priority being the happiness and well-being of our children.”
The pair expressed thanks for fans’ support and asked for privacy during this difficult time.
Rumours Of Trouble Finally Confirmed
Tensions had been swirling for months, with reports suggesting the couple were living apart and pondering their future. Amanda addressed the speculation in a December ITV Lorraine interview, admitting, “You have your rough patches… We’re pretty tough in the hills.”
When asked how she manages the tough times, Amanda added bluntly, “You must remember that if you are proud of what you are doing, you must shoulder some of the responsibility. In other words, get on with it.”
Amanda Sets The Record Straight On Clive’s Role
Fans have wondered why Clive often stays out of Amanda’s social media spotlight. Amanda cleared that up with OK! Magazine, revealing, “Clive will serve tea and change nappies, while I shear sheep and shovel s**t.”
She stressed the hard graft behind the scenes: “Being a farmer is difficult work, and I will go to any length to provide for my family. To make a living, you have to have your fingers in a lot of pies.”
The couple’s iconic farming saga ends this chapter, but fans can still expect to see them working side-by-side for their children’s sake.
