Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star of Clarkson's Farm, has married his long-term partner Taya Wilkinson in a wedding that featured a dramatic entrance in a £250,000 McLaren supercar and a key role played by Jeremy Clarkson. The 27-year-old farmer, who had promised a 'feral farm wedding', tied the knot at a ceremony near Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire on July 5, 2026.
Wedding Details and Guest List
Kaleb arrived at the ceremony in a luminous orange McLaren supercar with his son by his side, after being seen leaving a local pub with his ushers. Bride Taya wore a dazzling white dress, tiara, and veil, carrying a bouquet of summery wild flowers. The couple, who share three children—Oscar, five, Willa, three, and baby Ashton, born last August—became engaged on Christmas Day 2022.
Jeremy Clarkson and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan were among the guests, joined by other cast members of the hit Amazon Prime show. Clarkson played a key role at the reception by providing an unlimited supply of his Hawkstone booze. Kaleb had previously joked that guests would be able to 'sit underneath the keg' instead of filling up their glasses.
Notable Attendees
Also among the guests was Gymshark founder Ben Francis and his wife Robin Francis. The billionaire entrepreneur, who built Gymshark into a sportswear empire worth nearly £1 billion, attended as one of Kaleb's ushers. Kaleb has described Taya as the 'love of his life', and she responded to his engagement proposal with 'I love you, can't wait to marry you!'
Emotional Context
The wedding came after a difficult few months for the Clarkson's Farm stars. Kaleb was seen reacting with shock after Jeremy announced his 'aggressive' prostate cancer diagnosis. During a conversation with Kaleb and business consultant Charlie Ireland, Jeremy said, 'I've got cancer.' Kaleb responded, 'No, you haven't. Where?' He then wiped away tears and said, 'Look after yourself, you go and do…if you need anything just ring.'
Speaking to the Mirror last month, Kaleb admitted it was difficult to witness his friend's challenging time. 'Yeah, I mean, it's only just come out - 100%. I think anything that's emotional is just about how you take it, you know? You sit there and you be supportive, or do you go out there and, I would say, mope about it and lock yourself away? And at that time you've got to be supportive.'
Friendship Evolution
The Clarkson's Farm favourite has become one of Jeremy's closest allies since they first teamed up on Diddly Squat Farm, with viewers watching their friendship evolve across five seasons of the Prime Video series.
