Amanda Owen confessed things are “easier” now that she has split from her husband of 22 years, Clive Owen.
The pair released a statement announcing their separation back in June but continue to work together on their Ravenseat Farm and remain co-parents to their nine children.
Speaking to The Times, the 48-year-old explained: “People assume that because I’m separated from my husband, Clive, things are harder, but in fact it’s the opposite.”

Amanda met Clive, 68, in 1995 at the age of 21 when she arrived at his farm as a trainee shepherdess.
Clive, who was a divorced father-of-two at the time, admitted he was immediately “taken with her” and the couple tied the knot in 2000.
Amanda, who is better known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, first found fame with Clive and their eldest children in 2011 when they appeared as regulars on the Adrian Edmondson documentary series The Dales on ITV.
After the duo landed their Channel 5 show Our Yorkshire Farm seven years later, fans were quickly taken with their family and dubbed them the “Kardashians of the Countryside”.
Both Amanda and Clive have announced new projects since their marriage ended, with the mum-of-nine set to travel across the UK to meet with other farmers and learn about their inspirational stories.
The six-part show is called Amanda Owen’s Extraordinary Farming Lives and will feature on Channel 4.
While Clive is currently starring in his Channel 5 spin-off show with son Reuben, titled Beyond The Yorkshire Farm.
