Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen is thought to be having marital problems with husband Clive, it has been claimed.
The star has been married to her husband for 21 years, with the couple sharing nine children.
Viewers have also seen their bond on screens during the popular Channel 5 series, which details the trials and tribulations of living at Ravenseat Farm.
However, as the 47-year-old prepares to release her book about their life together, insiders have claimed that she is spending time away from their family home amid rumours of a rift.
According to reports, Clive, 66, is thought to be ‘desperate’ to repair their relationship, with the situation being described as ‘incredibly sad’.
‘Amanda and Clive are two hugely popular figures here in the Dales, and no one saw this coming,’ a source told the Sun.
‘Clive loves Amanda to bits and adores her, and fears the marriage may be failing even though he desperately doesn’t want it to. He fears they will divorce.’
They also suggested that this could be the last series of Our Yorkshire Farm following the issues, with the decision ‘very much in Amanda’s hands’.
The publication states that the former model was pictured a rental property nearby their home, while Clive stayed in the house.
‘Their possible split has become the talk of the village and, with the couple having nine kids, not surprisingly talk has quickly spread through school channels,’ the insider added.
‘Obviously everyone around them hopes they can work things out, and 21 years of largely happy marriage won’t end up playing out in the divorce courts.’
Reports of a rift between the couple first surfaced just a few weeks ago, but a rep denied the claims at the time.
Amanda met her now-husband in 1996 when she arrived at his farm as a trainee shepherdess.
They soon started dating and have welcomed nine children together, sharing Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clemmie, and Nancy.
The pair first shot to fame in 2011, and have appeared in Julia Bradbury’s Coast to Coast, and New Lives In The Wild with Ben Fogle.
They landed their Our Yorkshire Farm series in 2018, with viewers living for the inside look at Ravenseat Farm.
