Amanda Owen has shared her thoughts on moving forward after her separation from ex-husband Clive. The couple announced their split in 2022 after 22 years of marriage but have maintained a close friendship while co-managing Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, Yorkshire, alongside their nine children. Reflecting on the changes within their family dynamics, Amanda acknowledged that life evolves and relationships shift over time.
In an interview with The Sun, Amanda expressed acceptance of the situation, stating that life continues with its ebbs and flows. She emphasized that while some people are fortunate enough to spend their entire lives with one partner, for others, relationships may change. Despite the challenges, she affirmed that she holds no regrets.
Following her separation from Clive, Amanda had a relationship with web designer Robert Davies, which ended in 2024 with a lack of communication between them. Opening up about the breakdown of her marriage, Amanda disclosed that disagreements arose due to Clive’s disapproval of her being away from the farm, leading to tension and uncertainty upon her return home.
The decision to end her marriage was made during a period of separation from Clive in lockdown, enabling her to focus on her writing and self-reflection. Amanda found solace in solitude, which contributed to her sense of peace. The upcoming series, “Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive, and Kids,” will showcase the family’s journey as they transform a 300-year-old barn, named Anty John, adjacent to their property into a potential residence. Amanda expressed excitement about the progress made in renovating the barn, highlighting the remarkable transformation from its dilapidated state to a nearly completed structure.
In anticipation of the show’s return, Amanda teased the audience on social media, hinting at the upcoming series that will provide insights into the family’s activities and home renovation progress. Channel 4 announced that the show will air on More4 at 9 pm starting January 19, featuring episodes filmed between May and December 2025, capturing the diverse weather conditions of Yorkshire.
