Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen, 48, posed for a photograph with businessman Robert Davies, 71, four years ago while he was helping her design a website amid her growing fame.

Robert, who is now reported to have become “inseparable” from Amanda, shared a snap to Facebook of the pair proudly showing off her new website in December 2018.

In the caption, as reported by MailOnline, Robert writes: “Have you been watching Channel 5’s series Our Yorkshire Farm about the Yorkshire Shepherdess?

“I really enjoyed working on her website earlier this year, and very happy that she loves it!”

Posting a photo of the pair, Robert wrote: “Had lunch with these two at their farm in Upper Swaledale. 1,000 sheep, nine kids and very soon a brand-new website for the Yorkshire Shepherdess.”

He also shared a glowing message from Amanda thanking him for his work on her website.

She wrote: “I forgot to thank you for making the epic trip in coming to me. That was appreciated.

“I love the website, I know that j (sic) am hard work and that it has been a long haul but you have achieved the near unachievable in crafting something that I think reflects me.

In photographs obtained by the publication, the pair were seen in Robert’s car in Folkestone, Kent.

She had made the six-hour drive from Ravenseat Farm to appear at “an evening with” event for fans.

Express.co.uk has contacted Amanda’s representatives for comment.

A post shared to her Instagram Story read: “Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate.

“This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family.

“Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together, with our number one priority being the happiness and well-being of our children.”

The former couple share nine children. They are: Raven, 21, Reuben, 19, Miles, 16, Edith, 14, Violet, 12, Sidney, 11, Annas, nine, Clementine (Clemmy), seven, and Nancy, six.
