Amanda Owen Updates Relationship Status as New Channel 4 Series Looms
Amanda Owen, known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, recently shared insights into her romantic journey, expressing no regrets despite facing two relationship challenges in recent years. Following her separation from Clive Owen in 2022 after a 22-year marriage, Amanda is preparing for her television comeback.
Amanda Owen’s Reflections on Relationships
In an interview with The Sun, Owen stated, “Life goes on, relationships come and go.” She acknowledged the complexities of love. “Sometimes you’re lucky and you stay with the same person for all your life, and sometimes that doesn’t happen,” she added.
Continuing to Co-Parent
Despite their split, Amanda and Clive continue to manage their family life on Ravenseat Farm, raising their nine children together. Amanda noted that the dynamics within their household have evolved since their separation.
New Romantic Ventures
After separating from Clive, Amanda began dating web designer Robert Davies. However, that relationship also ended in 2024, and they are no longer in contact.
Impact of the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic played a significant role in Amanda’s decision to end her marriage. The lockdown allowed her to focus on her writing career and reflect on her life, ultimately leading her to the conclusion that her marriage had reached its end. She described the solitary time as peaceful, a new experience for her.
New Television Series: Our Farm Next Door
Amanda’s latest television project, “Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids,” will air on Channel 4. This series reunites her with Clive to chronicle their restoration of a 300-year-old barn, known locally as Anty John, located near their current farm.
Renovation Journey
The barn, once in ruins, has undergone a transformation during filming. “From not even having a roof to now being able to shut all the doors, it’s incredible,” Amanda remarked. She believes the renovation journey will captivate viewers as they watch the barn evolve into a potential family home.
