Amanda Owen has been celebrating her daughter Raven's birthday - and fans were stunned by how much they look alike and how much her sister Edith has grown. The eldest of Our Yorkshire Farm star's Clive and Amanda's nine children, Raven turned 23 at the end of April and has just shared photos from her party with fans.

Raven, who graduated from university with a first class honours last year in biomedical science, shared a photo of her with her mum Amanda and sister Edith, who also featured on the family's Channel 5 show. She captioned the snap: "Turning 23 with some people."

And fans were stunned by how much little Edith, now aged 15 or 16, has changed. Fans took to the comments to share their disbelief at how much Raven looks like her mum, and how much Edith has grown up.

"Happy Birthday. You are the image of your mum," one fan wrote. "Happy birthday Raven, can’t get over how much Edith has changed! Beautiful ladies xx," another commented.

"Happy birthday. You look so much like your mum," a third said. "My God, how Edith has shot up," another added.

Amand shot to fame after documenting her life on Ravenseat Farm in North Yorkshire alongside her nine children and ex-husband Clive. They split in 2022 after it was revealed that Amanda was having an affair with businessman Robert Davies.

Following their split, the Yorkshire shepherdess began filming a new More4 documentary, titled Amanda Owen's Farming Lives, which is her first solo series without her family.‍ The star took a short break from social media but has now made a return by congratulating her son Reuben on his own new TV show for Channel 5, Life in the Dales where he runs his heavy machinery business with girlfriend Sarah.

Amanda previously opened up about the challenges of co-parenting her nine children with ex-husband Clive. Speaking to Radio Times, she said: “Look, there are two simple facts: if he thought I was brilliant, and I thought he was brilliant, then we wouldn’t have separated.

“It’s a fact, isn’t it? But, you know what, that’s not unique, it’s just how things are, pressures, all the rest of it. But we have nine kids, with associated friends, girlfriends, and we just have to get on with it.”

Clive previously spoke out about playing 'a massive part' in the break-up. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, Clive told Christine Lampard: 'I sadly made a right mess of things basically. I had a massive part to play in the relationship ending.

'It's a tough time for Amanda now and I think it's only right, because I don't do social media, to speak out. We filmed Our Yorkshire Farm, people loved it and it was an opportunity to make something as a family. That was what drove her. It was amazing and very successful but I handled it very badly.

'It was such a change in our lives and I sadly made a right mess of things basically. I had a massive part to play in the relationship ending.' Adding that he felt a wrong sense of jealousy over the fame of their show, and Amanda's comittment to it, he continued: 'I was ranting and raving and drinking and carrying on. I don't know - jealousy. It was taking her away'.

He added: 'It seemed to eat away at me and I handled it badly and I behaved badly towards her. I should have been supportive... It's been really upsetting, Amanda's having a tough time at the moment. I just feel I can't sit back. I have to say something in her defence, she's a remarkable woman. We just got to the point where we couldn't be together anymore.

'We were under pressure, it is crazy and it makes you look at life not as well. It got to a point where we couldn't get along at all so we parted. It's very sad but that's how it is. We're in business together and we farm together so we spend a lot of time together.

'The children are amazing, and probably because of her. So what happens is we work together, look after the kids together, she feeds us all and so I think I really believe the kids are great and fine. And there's so many of them.

'I have no plans to do anything, but you never know. And the same with Amanda, she's busy writing. I'd love people just to leave her alone. She's an amazing woman.'
