Amanda and Clive Owen, stars of the documentary series Our Yorkshire Farm, have shared insights into how they are managing their lives and work following their separation in June 2022. Despite no longer being a couple after 22 years of marriage, they continue to collaborate on their Swaledale farm and raise their nine children together.
Clive Owen described their current situation as "a strange few years" but ultimately "the most sensible thing for everybody to do." He noted that while they are not together, they have found a way to "keep things going to suit everybody." Amanda Owen echoed this sentiment, stating that being busy plays a significant role in maintaining focus for everyone involved.
The couple announced their separation via a statement on Amanda's Instagram, emphasizing that while the decision was difficult, it was the right choice for their family's future. The statement underscored their continued commitment to working on the farm and co-parenting, with the children's happiness and well-being as their top priority.
Amanda, a shepherdess, recently reflected on the rewards of their farming life in Yorkshire. She acknowledged the challenges, such as harsh weather and physical exertion, but highlighted the profound gratitude she feels for their environment. She believes that the demanding lifestyle instills in her children an "indomitable spirit and determination" that will serve them well in the future.
Amanda also recently attended the Television and Radio Industries Club Awards in London with her 17-year-old daughter, Edith. The mother and daughter walked the red carpet at Grosvenor House Hotel, mingling with other television personalities at the event hosted by TRIC president Dan Walker. Amanda shared photos and reflections on Instagram about the value of their life and work on Ravenseat Farm, acknowledging the blessings of their "invigorating, inspiring and thoroughly infuriating place."
