It’s the on-screen reunion no one expected — and the off-screen dynamic everyone’s now dissecting.
Amanda Owen, the beloved Yorkshire Shepherdess and star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has broken her silence about ex-husband Clive Owen, just as the former couple are seen working together again on a brand-new television project. The surprising reunion comes over two years after their public split, which ended more than two decades of marriage and nine children together.
While fans were initially shocked to hear the exes would share the screen again, Amanda insists the decision wasn’t made lightly — and certainly not without emotion.
“It’s not about pretending everything’s perfect,” Amanda recently told producers. “It’s about showing that life can move forward — even after heartbreak.”
From Ravenseat to Reunion
The new show, Beyond the Farm: Life After the Break, picks up where Our Yorkshire Farm left off — but with a twist. Rather than focusing solely on the day-to-day of Ravenseat, the series follows Amanda and Clive navigating life as co-parents, business partners, and now co-stars, in a landscape that’s just as demanding emotionally as it is physically.
The first episode, which aired this week, captured the former couple reuniting to manage a lambing emergency, working side by side in muddy conditions while trying to maintain civility. While the interaction was largely respectful, viewers couldn’t help but notice the lingering tension — and the unspoken pain just beneath the surface.
“It was like watching two people who know each other inside out — but haven’t quite figured out how to be strangers,” one viewer tweeted.
Amanda’s Candid Confession
Behind the scenes, Amanda admitted the reunion stirred up more than just memories.
“It’s emotional, of course it is. We built a life together. But that chapter closed — and this is something new,” she explained in a voiceover during the second episode. “We’re not the same people we were when we married, and that’s okay.”
Still, she acknowledged that filming alongside Clive again wasn’t easy, especially after their very public divorce, which she described as “painful, but necessary.”
Co-Parenting on Camera
One of the more touching moments came when the pair were seen supporting one of their younger children at a school event — arriving separately, but sitting side by side.
Amanda says that co-parenting is their “shared mission” now, and while it’s not without its challenges, the well-being of their children always comes first.
“They’ve seen us argue, they’ve seen us cry, but they’ve also seen us show up. And that’s what matters,” Amanda said.
Clive, typically more reserved, hasn’t spoken publicly about the show or their reunion, but those close to the production say he’s “tentative but cooperative.”
Fans React: “It’s Raw, It’s Real — And It Hurts to Watch”
Social media has been flooded with reactions, with many praising Amanda for her honesty and strength.
“This isn’t a glossy love story — it’s a human one,” one commenter wrote. “You can feel the respect… and the heartbreak.”
Others have expressed hope that the show might offer some form of healing — both for Amanda and Clive, and for fans who have followed their journey for years.
What’s Next?
Amanda, now a bestselling author and solo public speaker, says she’s focused on the future — for herself, the farm, and her children. The show, she says, is not a return to the past, but a chance to show how real people rebuild after loss.
“I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I’m here to show that life goes on — muddy boots, cracked hearts, and all.”
