Amanda Owen gives new insight with ‘two simple facts’ about separation from husband Clive | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen, 48, has made a new admission about her split from husband Clive Owen, 68. The Our Yorkshire Farm stars, who decided to file for divorce last year, share nine children together on a farm in Ravenseat, located in Upper Swaledale, North Yorkshire.
The famous Channel 5 couple announced they were going their separate ways back in June.
However, a recent interviewer was “surprised” to find that the pair were willing to appear together in a zoom call.
Asked if their relationship was now at a more cordial stage, rather than one of bitterness, Amanda spoke frankly about their separation.
“Look, there are two simple facts: if he thought I was brilliant, and I thought he was brilliant, then we wouldn’t have separated,” she said.

“It’s a fact, isn’t it? But, you know what, that’s not unique, it’s just how things are, pressures, all the rest of it.
“But we have nine kids, with associated friends, girlfriends, and we just have to get on with it,” she confirmed in her interview with RadioTimes.
During the chat, Amanda also confirmed that it had been a “tough” year for their family.
In the interview she also appeared to be exchanging some banter with Clive, joking: “This was my cunning plan so that he can’t accuse me of saying anything awful about him.”
Amanda and Clive met in 1996, married in 2000 and went on to have nine children before finally deciding to call it quits.
Between them, the couple share: Raven, 21, Reuben, 19, Miles, 16, Edith, 14, Violet, 12, Sidney, 11, Annas, 9, Clemmy, 7, and six-year-old Nancy.
The family has starred in multiple television shows, becoming TV favourites thanks to Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm, which aired in 2018.
Last year, Amanda took to Instagram to share the news of her and Clive’s separation after 20 years of marriage.
