Farmer Kaleb Cooper ’s fiancée made a teasy comment about her partner when he started talking about his tractor. Kaleb, 27, is also a media personality made famous by appearing as Jeremy Clarkson ’s go-to farming expert on Clarkson’s Farm. First appearing on the Amazon Prime show in 2021, he soon became a household name for his knowledge and farming skill in Diddly Squat Farm . He has also gone onto write a series of books and do a speaking tour as Jeremy continues to toil away and build his farming empire that now includes The Farmer’s Dog pub. Speaking to the BBC earlier this year, Kaleb spoke about his origin story and said that he originally got into work through selling eggs around his hometown when he was just 13. He told the broadcaster: “I’m not from a farming background at all, but I learnt from a very young age that I love farming. I think actually the business aspect of farming drew me to it, and then of course the tractors, and then the animals and so on.” Kaleb is also getting married to his fiancée Taya, with whom he has three children. Oscar, four, Willa Grace, two and now Ashton who was born earlier this year. In his book, he recalls a conversation in which he denied staring at his tractor. In response, Kaleb writes that Taya said: “Maybe you should marry your tractor.” To this Kaleb replied: “I don’t want to marry my tractor. It’s just a machine.” Taya added: “I think you love that machine more than you love your family sometimes.” Pondering the assertion, Kaleb said: “Both kids giggled this time. They do like to take the mickey out of me. “But they’re right. I do love my tractor. Not more than I love my family, mind, but more than I love chips, or Manchester United, or even poached eggs on toast (just).” Earlier this year, Kaleb announced the birth of his third child Ashton. Sharing a phot of his new son on social media, Kaleb wrote: “Baby number three. “Everyone meet Ashton weighing 6.13lb born 14th August at 6:28pm at Chipping Norton Maternity. PS don’t worry, I bought the amazing midwives a Chinese as well.” Writing about his view of the situation in his column for The Sun , Jeremy Clarkson wrote about how Kaleb reacted to the massive news in a surprising way. The former-Top Gear presenter said in August: “The boy wonder Kaleb Cooper, who manages my farm, received word this week that his wife was in labour. ‘Right,’, he said. ‘I’ll be there when I’ve finished harvesting this field.’ “How farmerish is that?!?! Happily, he finished in time to welcome what for him is baby number three.”
