Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen has humorously suggested she’s reached her limit with her ex-husband, Clive. The 51-year-old met Clive in 1996, and they subsequently became the owners of Ravenseat Farm in the Yorkshire Dales. However, after 22 years of marriage, the couple decided to separate in 2022, but continue to jointly manage the farm. In addition to featuring on the popular Channel 5 programme Our Yorkshire Farm and running the business, Amanda is also a published author, having penned five books centred around farming life. In addition to her other commitments, Amanda maintains an Instagram account where she shares insights into her life on the farm. She recently opened up about her post-divorce life working alongside Clive on the farm, how they divide responsibilities, and how she stays fit amid it all. Speaking to i, she revealed that her fitness routine largely consists of the physical labour involved in her work, supplemented by her 21-year-old son Reuben, reports Yorkshire Live . Amanda shared: “Shearing sheep keeps me in shape. That’s where I get my biceps from. That and towing horses, lifting up rocks, dry stone walling, filling ditches — just doing stuff. “I don’t do any weights. Reuben, my 21-year-old, is the only child who’d beat me in an arm wrestle because he does groundwork and landscaping, so he’s incredibly strong.” However, the mother-of-nine draws a line when it comes to her former spouse. She explained: “I’ve probably reached tipping point with Clive; I don’t think he’d tackle me because he wouldn’t want the humiliation.” Amanda further noted that while she and Clive maintain a “civil” relationship, they “still bicker,” and instead of sharing a home, “he’s next door.” This isn’t the first time Amanda has opened up about working alongside her ex-husband on the farm and co-parenting their children. In a chat with Hello! magazine, she confessed that their dynamic remains unchanged in that they continue to irritate each other. She told the publication: “What am I supposed to say, ‘We get on like a house on fire?’ Well, if we did, we wouldn’t want to separate, would we?” “He’s still the same annoying old Clive that he always was. I’ve seen him just now, and he’s still annoying — I annoy him, and he annoys me. “It’s tricky when businesses and families are so intertwined. There must be a compromise on both sides. It’s my day-to-day life, and that is our situation, and you just have to make it work.”
