Kaleb Cooper, who shot to fame on Clarkson’s Farm, is set to marry his fiancée Taya and the couple have three children together – but she’s not always impressed with his love of tractors
Kaleb Cooper’s fiancée playfully teased him about his fondness for his tractor. Kaleb, 27, gained fame as Jeremy Clarkson’s trusted farming expert on the hugely successful Amazon Prime show, Clarkson’s Farm.
First appearing on the programme in 2021, he quickly became a household name due to his extensive knowledge and farming prowess at Diddly Squat Farm.
In addition to this, he has written a series of books and embarked on a speaking tour while Jeremy continues to expand his farming empire, which now includes The Farmer’s Dog pub.
Earlier this year, Kaleb shared his journey into farming with the BBC, revealing that he started by selling eggs in his hometown at the age of 13, reports Wales Online.
He told the broadcaster: “I’m not from a farming background at all, but I learnt from a very young age that I love farming. I think actually the business aspect of farming drew me to it, and then of course the tractors, and then the animals and so on.”
Kaleb is set to marry his fiancée Taya, with whom he shares three children – Oscar, four, Willa Grace, two, and Ashton, born earlier this year.
In his book, he recounts a conversation where he denied being overly attached to his tractor.
According to Kaleb, Taya jokingly suggested: “Maybe you should marry your tractor.”
To which Kaleb responded: “I don’t want to marry my tractor. It’s just a machine.” Taya retorted: “I think you love that machine more than you love your family sometimes.”
Reflecting on the claim, Kaleb said: “Both kids giggled this time. They do like to take the mickey out of me.
“But they’re right. I do love my tractor. Not more than I love my family, mind, but more than I love chips, or Manchester United, or even poached eggs on toast (just).”
Earlier this year, Kaleb revealed the arrival of his third child Ashton. Posting a picture of his newborn son on social media, Kaleb wrote: “Baby number three.
“Everyone meet Ashton weighing 6.13lb born 14th August at 6:28pm at Chipping Norton Maternity. PS don’t worry, I bought the amazing midwives a Chinese as well.”
Discussing his perspective on the circumstances in his column for The Sun, Jeremy Clarkson detailed how Kaleb responded to the momentous news in an unexpected manner.
The former-Top Gear host said in August: “The boy wonder Kaleb Cooper, who manages my farm, received word this week that his wife was in labour. ‘Right,’, he said. ‘I’ll be there when I’ve finished harvesting this field.'”.
“How farmerish is that? ! ? ! Happily, he finished in time to welcome what for him is baby number three.”
