Reuben Owen’s girlfriend has opened up about their blossoming relationship and her fondness for his famous family on his Channel 5 reality show. Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales showcases the young entrepreneur as he tackles the refurbishment of his Thwaite cottage, co-owned with his dad Clive, among other ventures in the Dales.

One part of the TV show highlighted Reuben teaming up with his girlfriend Jessica, who comes from a nearby farming family, on a project. He called upon Jessica’s skills to help design and construct a sheep pen at a substantial farm.

After setting out the initial designs for the pen, the couple each took charge of a digger to begin the groundwork.

In a heartfelt confession to the camera, Jessica beamed as she spoke about her eight-month relationship with Reuben, whom she met at a young farmers’ event, reports the Manchester Evening News.

“Ever since we first met, we just clicked. I think it’s because I’m from a farming background, so’s Reuben,” she told the audience.

The 21-year-old farmer then gushed over her beau and his kin, who are known from their appearances on Our Yorkshire Farm. Jessica expressed: “I just love him to bits. Love his family, get on great with them.”

Reuben echoed Jessica’s warm feelings, later revealing his thoughts on their partnership and commending his girlfriend’s agricultural talents.

Reuben said: “Me and Jess have been together a while now. We’re always working together on all sorts of different things. She’s absolutely brilliant on any piece of kit, really.”

He cheekily continued: “I haven’t found anything that’s beaten her, yet!”

In one episode of the Channel 5 programme viewers witness Reuben beginning his cottage restoration venture, leaving him stunned by the enormity of the challenge alongside his pals.

The property, purchased as a shared venture with his dad Clive, has had its renovation schemes put on hold owing to Reuben’s thriving business commitments.

Reuben revealed he has no plans to live in the cottage himself, instead aiming to flog it so he can snap up another property.
