Amanda Owen opens up about her breakup with Rob Davies, who is 22 years her senior, following a tumultuous period amplified by rampant media scrutiny. In a recent interview, she expressed that the intense media attention was overwhelming for both her and Rob, resulting in the end of their relationship.
For those unacquainted, Amanda captured hearts as the star of Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm, a series that provided a candid look into her life as a shepherdess at Ravenseat Farm. However, beneath the picturesque exterior, her personal life has been anything but serene. After her separation from husband Clive Owen, Amanda entered into a highly publicized romance with Rob Davies, a family friend who had been part of their lives for years.
In addressing the split during a Daily Mail interview, Amanda said, “Rob and I were both shattered by the way the media pursued us and reported it, and as a result, we are no longer together or in touch.” This relationship had started on the recommendation of her ex-husband, Clive, who was also exploring his own romantic interests.
Despite the heartache, Amanda has found solace in her connection with Clive, noting a surprising shift in their relationship dynamics. Although they are officially separated, she describes Clive as her confidant and support system. “I can’t believe I’m actually going to say this, but after everything we’ve been through, Clive is the person that I talk to now,” she shared. “We are separated, but wholly united in our aims for the future of the farm and the family.”
Amanda also highlighted Clive’s dedication as a father, praising the hard work he puts into their children’s upbringing. This renewed appreciation for one another is evident as they prepare to co-star in a new series, Our Farm Next Door, which will showcase their efforts to restore a dilapidated farmhouse and delve into its history.
Viewers can catch Amanda in the returning episodes of Our Yorkshire Farm this weekend, providing a chance to see her valuable journey unfold beyond the headlines.
