Kaleb Cooper’s Fiancée Teases His Tractor Obsession Ahead of Their Wedding

Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star of Amazon Prime’s Clarkson’s Farm, has won hearts with his farming expertise and down-to-earth charm, but his fiancée, Taya, recently took a playful jab at his deep love for tractors, jokingly suggesting he might prefer marrying one over her. The 27-year-old, who has become a household name through his work alongside Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds, is set to tie the knot with Taya, with whom he shares three young children: Oscar, four, Willa Grace, two, and newborn Ashton. The lighthearted exchange, detailed in Kaleb’s latest book, underscores the couple’s dynamic as they balance family life, Kaleb’s rising fame, and his undeniable passion for farming machinery.

Since bursting onto screens in 2021, Kaleb has become a fan favorite on Clarkson’s Farm, where his extensive knowledge and no-nonsense approach to managing Diddly Squat Farm have earned him widespread admiration. Hailing from Chipping Norton, Kaleb’s journey into agriculture began at age 13, when he started selling eggs in his hometown, as he shared in a BBC interview earlier this year. “I’m not from a farming background at all, but I learnt from a very young age that I love farming,” he told the broadcaster. “The business aspect of farming drew me to it, and then of course the tractors, and then the animals and so on.” His entrepreneurial spirit and hands-on expertise have made him an indispensable part of Clarkson’s farming empire, which has expanded to include The Farmer’s Dog pub, featured in the show’s fourth season.

Beyond the farm, Kaleb has built a multifaceted career. He has authored a series of books, including The World According to Kaleb and Britain According to Kaleb, where he shares insights into farming and his life with humor and candor. His speaking tours have further cemented his status as a public figure, drawing crowds eager to hear his stories of life on the land. Despite his growing fame, Kaleb remains grounded, often reflecting on his roots and his love for the rural lifestyle that defines him. His partnership with Jeremy Clarkson, a former Top Gear and The Grand Tour host, has been a cornerstone of Clarkson’s Farm, blending Kaleb’s practical know-how with Clarkson’s larger-than-life personality to create a compelling narrative that resonates with viewers worldwide.

At the heart of Kaleb’s personal life is his relationship with Taya, his fiancée and mother of their three children. The couple welcomed their third child, Ashton, on August 14, 2025, at Chipping Norton Maternity, with the newborn weighing 6.13 pounds. Kaleb announced the birth on social media, sharing a photo and writing, “Baby number three. Everyone meet Ashton… PS don’t worry, I bought the amazing midwives a Chinese as well.” The gesture reflected his characteristic warmth and appreciation for those around him, a trait that has endeared him to fans. However, his dedication to farming occasionally leads to humorous moments of tension with Taya, particularly over his obsession with tractors.

In his latest book, Kaleb recounts a playful exchange that highlights Taya’s teasing about his priorities. When accused of being overly attached to his tractor, Kaleb protested, “I don’t want to marry my tractor. It’s just a machine.” Taya shot back, “I think you love that machine more than you love your family sometimes.” The quip prompted giggles from their children, Oscar and Willa, who enjoy poking fun at their father’s enthusiasm. Reflecting on the moment, Kaleb admitted, “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).” The anecdote captures the lighthearted dynamic of the Cooper household, where Taya keeps Kaleb grounded amid his demanding career and tractor-centric passions.

Kaleb’s commitment to farming was humorously underscored by Jeremy Clarkson in his column for The Sun in August 2025. When Taya went into labor with Ashton, Kaleb received the news while harvesting a field at Diddly Squat Farm. “Right,” he reportedly said, “I’ll be there when I’ve finished harvesting this field.” Clarkson marveled at the response, writing, “How farmerish is that?! Happily, he finished in time to welcome what for him is baby number three.” The anecdote, widely shared across platforms like X, delighted fans who admire Kaleb’s dedication to both his work and his growing family. It also highlighted the realities of farming life, where critical tasks like harvesting often demand immediate attention, even during life-changing personal moments.

Taya’s playful dig about Kaleb’s tractor obsession reflects a broader theme in their relationship: balancing his love for farming with family life. As Clarkson’s Farm has documented, Kaleb’s days are filled with the challenges of managing crops, livestock, and machinery, often under the unpredictable conditions of British weather and market pressures. The show’s fourth season, which aired in 2025, showcased the opening of The Farmer’s Dog pub, a venture that added new responsibilities to Kaleb’s plate as he helped Clarkson navigate the complexities of the hospitality industry. Through it all, Taya has been a steadfast partner, supporting Kaleb’s ambitions while keeping their family life vibrant and grounded.

The couple’s three children are a central focus, with Kaleb frequently sharing glimpses of their life on social media. Posts on Instagram, often featuring Oscar and Willa playing on the farm or Kaleb cradling newborn Ashton, have garnered thousands of likes and comments from fans who appreciate his relatability. Taya, though less in the public eye, is a key figure in their story, her humor and perspective providing balance to Kaleb’s high-energy persona. Her teasing about his tractor love is a reminder that, despite his fame, Kaleb remains a farmer at heart, tethered to the land and the machines that make his work possible.

As Kaleb and Taya prepare for their wedding, their story continues to resonate with Clarkson’s Farm viewers. The series, renewed for a fifth season, has elevated Kaleb from a local farmer to an international figure, with fans on platforms like X praising his authenticity and work ethic. His ability to juggle fatherhood, farming, and fame while maintaining a sense of humor is a testament to his resilience. Taya’s playful jabs, like suggesting he marry his tractor, add a layer of warmth to their narrative, showing a couple navigating the pressures of public life with love and laughter. For Kaleb, the tractor may be a close second to his family, but as he builds his future with Taya and their children, it’s clear where his true priorities lie.
