Amanda Owen, 48, has described how she and husband Clive Owen, 68, are still “working together” despite deciding to file for divorce last year.The Our Yorkshire Farm stars share nine children together on a farm in Ravenseat, located in Upper Swaledale, North Yorkshire.

The famous Channel 5 couple announced they were going their separate ways back in June.However, Amanda has made it clear that they will continue to put on a unified front in order to do right by their children and the farm they share.“People assume that because I’m separated from my husband, Clive, things are harder, but in fact it’s the opposite,” Amanda wrote in a new article.“We have two farms that are basically next door to each other, so it’s close enough for it to be useful, but far enough for us to have space. “Whatever our personal situation, there’s a farm to run and nine children to look after so we’re just working together, making it happen,” she told the Times.

Amanda and Clive met in 1996, married in 2000 and went on to have nine children ranging between the ages of 21 to six years old before finally deciding to call it quits.The family has starred in multiple television shows, becoming TV favourites thanks to Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm, which aired in 2018.Last year, Amanda took to Instagram to share the news of her and Clive’s separation after 20 years of marriage. “Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate,” she wrote.“This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family.“Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together, without number one priority the happiness and well-being of our children.“We would like to.
