Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen’s dating new man after painful split from husband Clive

YORKSHIRE Shepherdess Amanda Owen has grown close to a new man following her shock split from co-star husband Clive.

The couple, who found fame on their unlikely telly sensation Our Yorkshire Farm, were married for 21 years.

They had nine children — aged five to 21 — before stardom took its toll on their marriage.

Sources say Amanda’s head was turned by their success, which saw them become household names.

It prompted her to walk out on their marriage and live separately while keeping plans to divorce secret.

But at the weekend she appeared in Folkestone, Kent — a six-hour drive from her Yorkshire base — with businessman Robert Davies.

She met him five years ago when he got involved in their farming business by encouraging them to take their endeavours online.

Amanda, 48, and Robert were spotted together on the south coast, where she was appearing at an “Evening With” event for fans — arriving and leaving in Robert’s expensive Audi saloon.

A source said: “Amanda and Robert have known each other many years — long before her split.

“Now he travels everywhere with her and they’ve become seemingly inseparable.”

Our Yorkshire Farm ran from 2018 to 2022 on Channel 5 — following the family on their remote farm as she tended to their sheep.

Clive, 68, who was previously divorced with two children, had been running the farm alone when he met and married Amanda.

They have continued to work and co-parent together.

A representative for Amanda declined to comment.
