Jeremy Clarkson’s co-star Kaleb Cooper has announced that his fiancée Taya is pregnant with their third child.
Cooper, who is the manager at Diddly Squat Farm on Clarkson’s Farm, recently sparked rumours that he may be leaving the much-loved Amazon Prime series.
Amid the speculation, the 26-year-old announced on Sunday that he is expecting his third child and hinted that the due date is August.
The TV star shared a sweet black and photo of a babygro with “2025” emblazoned across it as well as an ultrasound scan.
“Very excited to announce that’s baby Cooper number 3 is cooking…. Going to be a very, very busy August,” he wrote on Instagram.
Cooper shares two children with his childhood sweetheart Taya - son Oscar, two, and daughter Willa Grace, one.
The Chipping Norton resident shot to fame in 2021 on series one of Clarkson’s Farm and was recently promoted to farm manager.
Cooper, who has previously revealed his desire to buy and run his own farm, shared a mysterious post about the “future” on Instagram, sparking concern that he might leave the show.
“Crazy how times fly when your having fun… 2 years ago since I found out I was having a little girl. Can’t wait to see what the future holds,” he wrote alongside a winky face emoji.
Days later, Clarkson, 64, praised his co-star “entrepreneurial” spirit in his The Sunday Times column.
“He has an entrepreneurial mind that would put John Rockefeller to shame, and he knows more about cows than cows do. I’d go further,” the former Top Gear host wrote.
“He knows more about wheat than Isaac Newton knew about gravity, which means that in his field, he is as clever as Phil Foden is on a football pitch.”
Clarkson bought Diddly Squat farm in the Cotswolds in 2008 and took over the running of it in 2019.
Last year, Cooper - who has been farming since he was 13 - revealed he has been unable to buy his own farm due to rocketing prices.
"Everything’s through the roof. And I don’t want to move away from the place I love most,” he told The Telegraph in April.
Cooper said it was “frustrating” to have been priced out of buying in his hometown but he is still set on his “dream”.
"That’s why I’m so busy doing everything possible to get to that dream [of buying a farm]. I’m going to do it one day,” he shared.
