Yes but after the last one and his hips declining the passion had worn thin or they would have had 4 or 5 more, God forbid!!Where did all those kids come from then.
Yes I got the feeling she had a bit of a tough inner city childhood and wanted a fantasy life of living on a farm with a load of kids but maybe found it a bit boring, hence the TV cameras. When the menopause hits you get a bit less compliant and people pleasing so maybe she saw herself as a young woman with young children looking after an old man and thought ' no thanks'

Was it reality TV fame which drove apart Amanda and Clive?
Our Yorkshire Farm Amanda Owens, 47, first appeared on TV in 2011 alongside her husband Clive, 66. The shepherdess has now become a household name.
Nope she actually said before about number 9 being the last because the majority of her babies were prem and several quite poorly
In that case should she have had as many as 9?
Especially one at home with no medical assistance!

Exactly I was thinking that!
Who actually cares how many children others have ? I'm sure if she had just 1 she would be slatted that the child would be lonely etc
This is a forum for opinions and debate, if you don't like it then may I respectfully suggest you find a platform where everyone is in agreement with you.
Can you not see the question mark and also the opinion after it ?
I don't think she tolerates criticism well at all and becomes over defensive and insulting
I never liked her it was all me me, she
created this country life story like Darling Buds of May and eventually got bored of it. Apparently she had an affair with one of the TV crew which I would have thought would be more her scene. She tried modelling but never made the big time so then did the complete opposite by becoming a shepherdess of all things. But the media attention won in the end. Poor Clive became surplus to requirements.

I am not sure why she should get her own show. She's left her ageing two decades older husband for a younger man. Hardly the best impression to build up a fan base to watch your show because people will turn against you.
This is what she has always wanted fame,glamour and sex. Personally I could do with seeing far less of her in the media.Amanda Owen split from husband of 21 years after 'growing close to cameraman'

I used to really enjoy the show but have unfollowed her on insta as it was all her pouting and posing with a soft filter. I found watching the tv show I liked Clive more and more and yet was seeing him less and less on camera. For me a solo show about her wouldn't be of much interest.
I so agree I think a programme about Clive and Reuben would be far more interesting as they are both such hard working and likeable characters but I doubt if that will happen as they weren't massive media hounds like Amanda.
She has made a career partly out of how many children she has. She would have been far less interesting if she had the usual 2 kids. She's not as bad as the Radfords, but part of her usp was her bringing up loads of children on a farm and popping them out no problem at all, then criticising other people's parenting to sell her books. If it turns out that she had had 9 kids, even though they were mostly premature and poorly, then people have a right to question her rationale.
I’m weirdly sad about the split, I know it’s edited for TV but they seemed so content and such a good fit together despite having different personalities.
I hope the kids are doing OK.

From reading her books, only Reuben and Nancy were premature (2nd and 9th) and needed hospital treatment at birth. The others were all fine, she just had very fast labours and gave birth in ambulances en route a few times.
To be honest I think a lot of what she says is full of the proverbial, its true one minute and not the next. whatever.
