Amanda and Clive Owen relationship timeline exposed – age gap, fling and reunion
Amanda and Clive Owen, who were celebrated as one of the nation's favourite farming duos due to their show Our Yorkshire Farm on Channel 5, experienced immense popularity as viewers tuned in to witness their lives at Ravenseat Farm in North Yorkshire alongside their nine offspring.
Charting their journey from when they first crossed paths in 1995, enthralled by Amanda's charm, through to 2022 when they publicly disclosed their decision to part ways after a 22-year marriage, their story captivated audiences across Britain.
As a consequence of their split, Channel 5 decided to halt production of Our Yorkshire Farm, yet in a twist of fate, the couple has agreed to come together once more for a fresh More4 series.
Slated for More4, the new programme titled Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids will shed light on their family life as they set out to renovate a neglected property close to home that they envision as part of their future.
With the help of local craftsmen, the Owens aim to resurrect Anty John's - a property with history within the community - all the while exploring its past and honouring those who have walked its floors before them, reports the Express.

In a reflection of her enthusiasm for the upcoming series, Amanda remarked: "It is fantastic More4 have given us the opportunity to showcase what we do best, working as a team and battling the elements whilst trying to reinstate the farm next door to its former glory."
"It is no exaggeration to say that filming outdoors on an exposed hill end in Swaledale was at times a huge challenge for the Wise Owl film crew, but their dedication and enthusiasm has never waned."
When Amanda met Clive Owen back in 1995, there was immediate chemistry. At that point, Clive managed Ravenseat Farm in North Yorkshire, working tirelessly on his own, while Amanda was exploring various roles locally and on farms across Wiltshire and Cumbria.
She was just 21 years old, a youthful shepherdess, while he was a 42-year-old divorced man, living solitarily amid the vast expanse of his farm estate. From humble beginnings as friends, the pair soon discovered a mutual love for farming life, which eventually blossomed into romance.
Yet, after two decades together, the Owens have parted ways. Allegations surfaced last year that Amanda had been involved in a five-year affair with a web designer who was 22 years her senior.
Their marriage, which took place five years after they first crossed paths, led to the birth of nine children: Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Anna, Clemmie, and Nancy. Although a large family was never part of the initial plan, Amanda and Clive grew to embrace their bustling household proudly.
The renowned shepherdess, faced with the challenge of being far from the nearest hospital, welcomed six of her children into the world right at Ravenseat farm, with Clive unwaveringly by her side to offer support each time.
All their offspring have matured sharing their parents' passion for farming, with each one keen to participate and offer as much assistance as possible.
