Amanda Owen, beloved Our Yorkshire Farm star and often referred to as the “Yorkshire Shepherdess,” has been left visibly emotional and in tears, according to close friends — and the reason has fans reeling. Her ex-husband, Clive Owen, has reportedly made a surprise personal move that no one, including Amanda, saw coming.
Just months after the couple’s quiet but heartbreaking split — following over 20 years of marriage and raising nine children together on Ravenseat Farm — Clive has allegedly gone public with a new relationship, and the way he did it has stunned longtime fans.
According to insiders, Clive was recently seen attending a local agricultural event hand-in-hand with a woman described as “much younger” and “completely outside the farming world.” Not only that, but witnesses claim he introduced her as his “new partner” — something Amanda reportedly found out about only after the images surfaced online.
“Amanda is heartbroken,” a close family friend revealed. “She knew Clive would move on at some point, but to find out through photos, and so soon… it cut deep.”
Amanda, known for her stoic strength and dedication to her family, has reportedly tried to put on a brave face — continuing to work the farm and raise her children as always — but sources say she broke down in private after hearing the news.
Worse still, the children are said to be “caught in the middle,” with some “struggling to process” the new dynamic.
Fans have flooded social media with support for Amanda, calling her “an icon of resilience” and expressing disbelief that Clive would go public so soon.
“She gave him everything — the farm, the family, the fame,” one user wrote. “She didn’t deserve this.”
Meanwhile, Amanda has kept mostly quiet — until yesterday, when she posted a cryptic Instagram Story showing a windswept photo of Ravenseat with the caption:
“Some storms don’t come to disrupt your life. They come to clear your path.”
Clive has yet to comment on the swirling rumors or the identity of his new partner, but the drama has reignited public interest in the Owen family’s post-divorce journey.
What’s Next for Amanda?
Despite the heartbreak, sources close to Amanda say she is considering a new solo documentary project, potentially focusing on life after heartbreak, motherhood, and regaining independence on the farm.
Fans are already calling for Amanda to get her own prime-time series — without Clive — saying her strength and honesty deserve their own spotlight.
