For years, Amanda and Clive Owen were the beating heart of Our Yorkshire Farm, their lives of rugged beauty and hard labor set against the rolling hills of the Dales. Fans fell in love not just with the sheep and the scenery, but with the couple’s quiet devotion and resilience as they raised nine children in near-isolation.
When the couple confirmed their separation in 2022, the news shook their loyal following. But while many assumed the end of their marriage would mean a clean break, Amanda has now admitted the reality is far different — and far more entangled.
In a recent interview, she ruled out any possibility of getting back together. “Not in a million years,” she quipped. “He’s still as annoying as ever.” Yet even as she laughed, she admitted there’s a deeper issue: they simply can’t finalize a divorce.
The reason? Ravenseat Farm. The sprawling estate where the family lived and worked is not just home — it’s a livelihood, a legacy, and a legal knot. Dividing its responsibilities, assets, and debts has proven nearly impossible. As Amanda bluntly put it, “We may not be married, but we’re tied tighter than most couples because of this place.”
The farm is more than land; it’s the heartbeat of the family, where all nine of their children still come and go. Livestock needs tending, seasonal work never stops, and the brand they built together remains valuable. Walking away cleanly would mean dismantling everything they created — a cost neither seems willing, or able, to bear.
For fans still holding onto hope, Amanda’s candor has been a gut punch. The romantic fantasy of a couple finding their way back to each other in the hills has given way to a more sobering reality: two people who can’t be together, but can’t quite separate either.
Still, Amanda insists the arrangement works — at least for now. “We get on when we have to. We argue when we can’t help it. But the work always gets done.” It’s a truce born not of love, but of necessity.
Theirs is no longer a marriage, but a coexistence: a story less about romance than about endurance. And while Amanda Owen has closed the door on reconciliation, she admits one truth remains inescapable: “Like it or not, we’re stuck with each other.”
