Kaleb Cooper, a breakout star of Jeremy Clarkson's farming series, has married his long-term partner Taya Wilkinson in a ceremony held in Oxfordshire.
Cooper and Wilkinson, who have been together for 10 years and share three children, exchanged vows in the Cotswolds. They announced their marriage on Instagram, with Cooper sharing a photo and the caption: "Such an amazing day yesterday celebrating our wedding! We both had the most amazing day! Mr and Mrs cooper."
Jeremy Clarkson, Cooper's co-star and boss, attended the wedding with his girlfriend Lisa Hogan. Clarkson, who recently announced he is in remission from aggressive cancer, provided beverages for the event from his Hawkstone brewery.
Cooper arrived at the venue, Merriscourt in Chipping Norton, in a McLaren supercar accompanied by his son Oscar. The couple are parents to Oscar, five, Willa, three, and Ashton, 11 months.
Cooper gained widespread recognition following his appearances on Clarkson's Farm, which debuted in 2021. He has since become a beloved figure on the show.
Regarding wedding preparations, Cooper previously told the Daily Mail that Wilkinson had taken the lead: "I want to say I’m really hands on but that’s a lie... It is Taya that has done the majority of it." He added that while it was a shared dream, "Taya is very much like ‘I want it in a certain way, I want my dress to be a certain way,’ which is good." He emphasized the importance of personalization for such a significant day.
Cooper proposed to Wilkinson on Christmas Day in 2022.
Cooper's television success has coincided with significant financial growth. His personal company, Kaleb Cooper Productions, saw its accounts increase from £242,000 in 2023 to £817,000 in the latest figures. Beyond his media earnings, Cooper has developed a business portfolio that includes farm contracting, merchandise sales, and a livestock firm.
