Amanda and Clive Owen, stars of Channel 4's Our Yorkshire Farm, have joked about receiving a 'sign' about their marriage on their wedding day. The couple, who separated in 2022 after 22 years of marriage, continue to co-parent their nine children and co-star in the spin-off series Our Farm Next Door, which aired a repeat episode on Friday, July 3.
Thunderclap on Wedding Day
During the episode, the former couple reflected on their wedding in July 2000 in the Yorkshire village of Muker. Amanda asked Clive when he last visited the spot, suggesting it might have been July 2000, though Clive believed it was August. 'Why, what happened in August 2000?' he asked. 'In August, you probably regretted what happened in July!' Amanda exclaimed.
Clive chuckled: 'I remember now, we had a bit of a do in Muker, didn't we? Aye, what a hell of a day we had.' Amanda then asked: 'Do you think when I got on my horse, to ride side saddle down the road... and there was a great thunderclap and lightning, do you think someone was trying to tell me something?'
'Aye, there you are,' said Clive. 'That could have been a sign, couldn't it, from the heavens? Yeah.' Amanda added: 'I'll tell you something though, it's good that we can laugh about it.'
Separation Announcement
In 2022, Amanda confirmed the split on Instagram: 'Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family. Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together, with our number one priority the happiness and well-being of our children.'
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and the Kids airs on Channel 4.
