Amanda Owen's 20-year-old son Reuben opened up about the moment his parents revealed the news they were getting a divorce to him and his eight siblings.
Head of the family featured on the documentary series Our Yorkshire Farm, Amanda and Clive, shocked fans in June 2022 when it was announced they had split after 22 years together. Reuben has since opened up about hearing the news, explaining that Amanda and Clive sat him and siblings down to explain their decision.

Reuben is clearly loyal to both parents, with him and his siblings accepting the split as one of those things that happens in life."Yeah, they spoke about it, but it's not really a big deal between any of us," he said.
"It's quite simple really. Everyone gets along great. It's not really changed for any of us, if you get me.Asked whether his parents have been pragmatic and made sure nothing else has changed, Reuben added: "Yes, they decided and that was that. They are happy as they are."

All I want is for them to be happy. That is all that matters. They are happy, and that's all that counts".

As well as Reuben, the couple share Raven, 22, Miles, 16, Edith, 14, Violet, 12, Sidney, 11, Annas, nine, Clemmy, seven, and Nancy, six.
Amanda previously opened up about the separation with the Radio Times. She said of the split: "Look, there are two simple facts: if he thought I was brilliant and I thought he was brilliant, then we wouldn't have separated. It's a fact, isn't it? But you know what, that's not unique.
"It's just how things are, pressures, all the rest of it. But we have nine kids, with associated friends, girlfriends, and we just have to get on with it.'
Reuben has now landed his own show: Reuben: Life in the Dales, which starts next week and will see him and his two friends, Sarah and Tom, away from the farm, as he attempts to establish his own groundworks business.
