Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that Kaleb Cooper has welcomed a third child with his fiancée, Taya. The couple already have two children, Oscar and Willa, and have been together since 2016. It wasn't until 2022 that Kaleb proposed to Taya on Christmas Day, and the couple live together in the village of Chipping Norton, where he has spent his whole life. The experienced farmer, 27, has now had a more recent arrival as Clarkson unveiled in his column in The Sun. The former Top Gear presenter also suggested an unusual name for the newborn, saying Kaleb should call his new baby after the field he had been harvesting when the exciting news came through about Taya's labour.
He wrote: "The boy wonder Kaleb Cooper, who manages my farm, received word this week that his wife was in labour. “Right,”, he said. “I’ll be there when I’ve finished harvesting this field." How farmerish is that?!?!"

Clarkson added: "Happily, he finished in time to welcome what for him is baby number three, and then our thoughts turned to a name."
Unfortunately, the name of the field that Kaleb was harvesting was rather random. Clarkson wrote: "Nice idea, except for one small detail. The field was called Deadman."
Kaleb and Taya had their first son in March 2021 and then their daughter in June 2023.
In other news, Clarkson's Farm fans have been issued an update regarding this year's harvest on Diddly Squat. Kaleb, who has been on the show since it premiered in 2021, gave fans a sneak peek into the fifth season's behind-the-scenes.
Taking to Instagram, he posted a series of photos and videos of tractors and combine harvesters as they continue to farm the crops in the fields. He added the caption: "Little harvest update so far - enjoy." In one video, Kaleb is seen getting his eyes watered by another crew member, to which one fan said: "Quick eye bath" and he replied: "that was a bad day." The fan replied: "Ouch! Hope your eye is ok."
Many of his fans were delighted with the update, as one excited follower typed: "Harvest taking place for the next Clarkson on the Farm Series 5."
Clarkson's Farm can be streamed now on Prime Video.
