Amanda, 48, married Clive, 68, in a picturesque rural ceremony in 2000 and they were even accompanied by a horse that day.

Back then, Amanda – who now has nine children – had long blonde hair that reached her waist.

She eschewed tradition by wearing a cream floral off the shoulder dress, long satin gloves and a gold tiara and veil on her head.

Clive, meanwhile, complimented his bride with a three-piece suit, complete with burgundy tie and matching buttonhole.

Amanda and Clive, best known for their C5 reality show Our Yorkshire Farm, were married for 21 years before announcing their split.

The couple confirmed their split in June last year.

Amanda said: “Clive and I sadly have to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to part ways.

“It wasn’t easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for our family’s future.

“Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to farm and co-parent together, with our top priority being the happiness and well-being of our children.”

The announcement came after Amanda and Clive previously pointed out strife in their marriage. In October 2021, the couple said they were going through a “rocky phase.”

“With the TV show and books, we always wanted to show the reality of life on the farm and like any marriage we have our strains coupled with all the complexities of what we do on the farm and are raising nine children,” they said in a statement.

The couple added, “We’re a normal family and we never said our marriage was perfect.

“Unfortunately, the constant intrusion of the media into our lives has compounded a rocky phase we’re going through.”

Amanda and Clive have never confirmed the exact reason for their split.

However, last month Amanda opened up about co-parenting with her ex.

It comes after she filmed a new series – her first without her estranged husband – called Amanda Owen’s Extraordinary Farm Life.

The show, which airs on More4, sees the shepherdess visiting small working farms across the UK amid the livelihood crisis.

Amanda told the 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 broken up.

“It’s a fact, isn’t it? But you know what, it’s not unique, it’s just the way things are, the pressure, all the rest.

“But we have nine kids with related friends, girlfriends, and we just have to move on.”

Amanda also explained that filming for her new series would have to be done in stages, organizing it around her brood.
