Amanda, 48, will be starring in More4's new programme Amanda Owen's Extraordinary Farming Lives, while Clive has stuck with Channel 5 as he stars in Beyond The Yorkshire Farm: Reuben & Clive with his eldest son.
But TV fans will remember the former couple best for appearing on-screen together with their nine children over five series of the hit show Our Yorkshire farm, which first aired in 2018.
And the future of the programme was thrown into doubt when Amanda and Clive announced their separation after 21 years of marriage last year.

Channel 5 confirmed the worst in November last year as they announced Our Yorkshire Farm following Amanda, Clive and their brood on Ravenseat Farm will not return not TV screens.
Daniel Pearl, Channel 5 factual boss, said: "The Owens have become everyone’s favourite farming family and millions have enjoyed watching their unique way of life. It’s fantastic that we can now all follow Reuben and Clive on their next adventure."

While speaking to Lorraine Kelly last year about her new TV series, Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda revealed Clive had been living on a neighboring farm since their split.
Her estranged husband is still co-parenting with Amanda and helping to raise their children who continue to live at Ravenseat.
Amanda said: "We all have to get on. There's a lot to deal with as we have the land to manage, the animals to manage, childcare and everything else.

Amanda went on to explain how Clive was content with the current situation but she still needs to take some time away for herself.
She added: "Every morning, even if I am going to be out feeding the sheep, I take a little bit of self-care for five minutes.
"I put moisturiser on and a little bit of mascara and it makes you feel better about yourself."

When did Amanda and Clive split?
Amanda and her estranged husband Clive are parents to nine children together who, in descending order of age, are Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clemmie, and Nancy. The former couple first struck up a romance back in 1995, when Amanda visited Clive's farm in Ravenseat to ask for help.
The pair went on to tie the knot and welcome their nine children into the world together, with their family life documented for the hugely successful Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm, but shocked fans last summer when Amanda addressed speculation about their relationship and subsequently confirmed they had split.
The former couple issued a joint statement about their marriage in June 2022 (Renegade Pictures)She wrote, in a joint statement shared in June: "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."
Speaking on Steph's Packed Lunch in October, Amanda confessed being separated from Clive after over two decades together was "a weird situation", before adding: "But we’re actually all just fine, just getting on with it."
