Amanda Owen, star of Yorkshire Farm, appeared to have put aside her marital problems this week when she stepped out in Manchester wearing her wedding ring.
The mother-of-nine, 47, was spotted wearing her ring arriving at an event at Stockport Plaza in Greater Manchester for an event on Tuesday night.
Amanda was seen for the first-time since the rumours that her husband, Clive Owen (66), had separated. They are currently living apart.
Amanda and Clive Owen, her husband of 21-years, released a joint statement last Wednesday. They stated that ‘like all marriages, we have our stresses, strains,’ but also said they wanted to’show reality on the farm’ through TV shows and book sales.
MailOnline received a report from the couple’s neighbors that they had been living apart since she was ‘into the spotlight’ on Channel 5’s program.
Amanda Owen, a Yorkshire Farm star, appeared to have put her marital problems behind her as she stepped out in London last night with her wedding ring on.
47-year-old mother of nine was seen arriving at Stockport Plaza, Greater Manchester, on Tuesday night in her wedding ring.
Amanda was seen for the first time since rumours circulated that she had split from Clive Owen, her husband of 21 year, and they are now living apart.
Amanda and Clive Owen (66), released a joint statement last Thursday saying that “like any marriage we experience our stresses and strains” but adding that they always wanted to “show the real life on the farm” through their TV shows, book deals, and other media.
Amanda, star of Yorkshire Farm, said that she and Clive aren’t romantic. This was shortly before Clive confirmed that they are going though a ‘rocky time’.
Amanda spoke candidly on how ‘romance’ is not in her and Clive’s ‘make-up.’
When asked if her husband and she are romantic, the shepherdess replied OK! magazine: “I don’t think either one of us is! It’s not in our makeup, I don’t believe.
The shepherdess then revealed the secret to her 21-year marriage.

The TV star chose a black bodycon dress with a low cut for Tuesday’s outing in Manchester. She paired it with grey trainers.
She said, “Everything we do can be interchangeable.” ‘Clive will serve afternoon tea and change nappies, I’ll shear sheep and shovel s**t. It doesn’t matter who does what, we’re all on the same side.’
Amanda praised Clive for being a ‘hands-on’ dad, adding that ‘at certain times of year, it’s all hands on deck and all tasks on the farm are interchangeable.
There’s no one hat for any one person and I think that’s a great life lesson.’
The mother of nine was also quizzed regarding a comment she had made previously about never having a tenth baby.
Speaking on whether that’s still the case, she continued: ‘I don’t know! If anyone knows anything it’s honestly that I have not got a plan. I plan for today and maybe tomorrow and that’s where it stops.
This was the first time that the mother-of-3 was seen in public since rumors of a split rocked her marriage.
As she entered the Manchester hotel, the mother of nine swept her brunette hair from her face.
As she walked into the hotel Tuesday night, she carried a black bag with red straps.
I believe we should all allow ourselves to have a little fun when it comes parenting. As long as the kids are happy, well-fed and washed… that will do.’
According to villagers, Amanda moved into their rental property just down the road from Ravenseat Farm, Swaledale, where Clive had been staying in the farmhouse.
After more than 21 years, the couple, known as “Kardashians” in the Countryside, are reportedly ‘fighting to save their marriage’.
Clive, who had been married for 13 years to another woman, is believed to be desperate to mend their relationship and ‘fears that their marriage will end in divorce.
It was her first public appearance since split rumours rocked her marriage last week.
Although it was believed they had just split up, their neighbors claim that they knew about it months ago. Despite the Yorkshire Shepherdess’s continued promotion of her new book on family life on TV, this is not surprising.
Clive Owen and Amanda gave a joint statement to MailOnline.
“We are a normal family and we have never said that our marriage is perfect.
They shared that they were going through a “rocky patch” in their marriage.
Amanda may have moved into their holiday home The Firs in Upper Swaledale. It is located in a valley and surrounded with five acres of meadows.
The cottage, which has six bedrooms, is accessible via a private road behind three gated entrances. It dates back at least to the seventeenth century.
It features a number original features such as stone flagged floors, beamed ceilings and whitewashed walls.
The couple rent Ravenseat Farm and its land from billionaire Robert Miller, who is the co-founder of DFS (Duty Free Shops) and is the father of Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, Princess Alexandra von Fürstenberg, and Pia Getty – the ‘it’ girls of the 1990s.
Amanda met her husband in 1996 when he was already divorced with two children, after she arrived at his farm as a 21-year-old trainee shepherdess.
Amanda grew up in a traditional three bed house with her parents and one sibling in Huddersfield, a large market town.
The blonde, who was 6ft 2in tall, was encouraged to follow the same career path her mother, but she didn’t like the clothes or make-up she had to wear.
She moved from her small-town life to work on farms across the country. But Ravenseat Farm was where she found her calling.
Many of her children help out at the farm when they’re not at school.
“All members of a large family must tow the line in order to make it a success. Amanda explained to the Daily Mail that it is not about child labor – it is about pulling together in an article published in 2018.
With the nearest shop so far away – and the risk during winter that they could be snowed in for weeks – the TV star buys food in bulk, and manages to feed her large family for just £130 a week.
Their water comes from the stream on the Moor and is free. They heat the house with a roaring fire that burns no matter the weather.
