Amanda Owen's son, Reuben, has offered a rare glimpse inside his relationship with his girlfriend, Jessica Ellwood.
While the 21-year-old, who shot to fame on Our Yorkshire Farm alongside his eight siblings, tends to keep his private life behind closed doors, he recently spoke about his new series, Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales, and revealed how he and Jessica first crossed paths.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Reuben shared: "Jess is so happy and chilled out. We met at a Young Farmers' event and it was the biggest stroke of luck."
He continued: "She's not bothered by the filming, either, which is great; the telly thing brings a bit of money into the pot, which is useful."

Back in April, Amanda Owen's eldest son paid tribute to his girlfriend, writing: "Some pictures of me and @jessica.ellwood1 on are recent adventures. It doesn't matter what we are on with boats, cows, plant machinery, or sheep she can handle it. She keeps the job going, love her to pieces."
At the time, fans and friends were quick to heap praise on the couple, with one writing: "Gorgeous pic of you both, keep enjoying life and take care of each other," while a second noted: "You look so happy together," and a third chimed in: "You both make a good team".
Elsewhere in the chat, Reuben proudly reminisced about the proudest moment in his life to date. "The proudest moment of my life wasn't taking part in any TV show, it was the day I got my name on my own digger," he said.

Amanda Owen's busy farm life
The self-proclaimed Yorkshire Shepherdess shares nine children with her ex-husband, Clive Owen.

"Reuben too, he's doing something completely different, but doing what he loves. It's the same with the others, they've all got their own personalities."
