Amanda Owen talks of 'pressures' on relationship with estranged husband Clive
Amanda Owen, 48, announced via Instagram she had separated from her husband Clive Owen, 68, in June after 22 years of marriage.The news of their split came as shock to viewers who have grown to love the family, as the estranged couple gives an insight into life on Ravenseat Farm.The pair share nine children together – Raven, 21, Reuben, 19, Miles, 16, Edith, 14, Violet, 12, Sidney, 11, Annas, 9, Clemmy, 7, and six-year-old Nancy.The Channel 5 star opened up about the couple's split in a new interview, with Clive present during the chat, as she touched on the "pressures" of marriage.It has admittedly been a "tough" time for the pair but they have continued to remain cordial.Amanda turned and asked her former husband: “As in – he’s not smitten with me, are you, Clive?’’She continued to Radio Times: “Look, there are two simple facts: if he thought I was brilliant, and I thought he was brilliant, then we wouldn’t have separated.“It’s a fact, isn’t it? But, you know what, that’s not unique, it’s just how things are, pressures, all the rest of it.
