Amanda Owen ditches her wedding ring on outing after split from husband Clive

Amanda Owen has been photographed without her wedding ring during an outing at a fair in Warwickshire on Saturday, following her split from husband Clive.

Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda, 47, looked radiant in a white summer dress with puff sleeves and a floaty maxi skirt as she made the public appearance at The Carter Jonas Game Fair Theatre at Ragley Hall.

Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda, who shares nine children with her 67-year-old ex-husband Clive, accessorised her look with a pair of silver drop earrings and a selection of bracelets on her wrist.

However, the TV star's wedding ring was visibly missing.

Amanda, who recently had fans worried as she struggled with issues at her farm, wore her caramel locks in a loose do with the front of her hair pinned away from her face.

During the appearance, Amanda looked in great spirits as she sat down for a question and answer session and posed for photos with fans.

The appearance comes after Amanda and her husband Clive announced their decision to split following 22 years of marriage.

In a shared statement, which the pair shared on social media in June, they announced: "Clive and I have 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."

The statement continued: "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."

Amanda and Clive thanked everyone for their support and asked for privacy during this "difficult time".

The couple had been married for 22 years and share nine children together. Amanda and Clive met in 1995, when the TV star was working as a shepherdess and she was tasked with picking up a ram at Clive's Ravenseat Farm.

Amanda had recalled how she and Clive, who had divorced his first wife and was living alone, hadn't immediately hit it off when they first met.

She said in an interview with The Times last year: "I saw Clive, he invited me in, the house was trashed — the house is still trashed — we had a cup of tea, chatted for a little while, basic small talk, I got the tup and headed off again. Didn’t think any more of it."

Amanda then had a message from Clive on her answering phone a few days later to say his favourite ewe had come in with a broken leg. "I fell for it, didn't I," Amanda added.

However, concerns over the couple's marriage began to surface in 2021 when Amanda had been seen without her wedding ring during a night out.

Amanda and Clive denied the rumours before announcing their split months later.

Following the breakup, a source claimed the pair had been living apart for months.

The source claimed to The Mail Online in June: "It's really sad for both of them that it's come to this, especially with such a large family and some of them so young.

"It's been an open secret across the dale for a long time that they have been having problems and have been living apart."
