Over the past seven years, viewers have followed on as he's matured from a young teenager to a 21-year-old entrepreneur.

Reuben has not only been instrumental in his parents operations at Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, but he's also established his own enterprise.

Recently, audiences have tuned into his new series Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales, witnessing his continued success with his Groundwork business, supported by a close-knit crew of friends and relatives.

With the second series underway, let's delve into the Yorkshire lad's personal life off-screen.

Fans were treated to a glimpse of romance during the second series of Reuben's Channel 5 show, meeting his girlfriend Jessica-a fellow farming enthusiast, reports

The couple, having crossed paths at a Young Farmers' event, have reportedly been attached at the hip ever since. Reuben shared that Jessica remains unphased by the cameras, describing her as 'happy and chilled out'.

A social media post featuring the loved-up duo underlined Reuben's affection for Jess.

He mused: "She's so beautiful. It's not just my life that's been brightened up since I met Jess, my camera roll is no longer just pictures of diggers and stones. #beutifullgirlfriend #loveyousomuch."

To which she warmly responded: "Aww this is so sweet darling, I love you so much! You are my world xxxx"

A scroll through his social handles reveals frequent snaps of his sweetheart, portraying their farm frolics and travel escapades.

Reuben, who's been gracing television screens since his teens, is already thinking beyond the limelight at 21, having no aspirations for a life in showbiz.

Speaking candidly about his lack of interest in social media, the Channel 5 personality told The Times: "If you do ever see me on my phone, I'll be searching for machinery sales."

He expressed his true passion, saying: "I don't want a career on television. I want to be known as the guy who digs big holes. My current ambition is to buy a 50-ton excavator. Now, that really would be the realisation of a dream."

Reuben went on to share that the moment he felt most proud wasn't due to his TV presence but when he saw his name emblazoned on his very own digger.

Turning to his family's personal complications, fans initially met Reuben in Our Yorkshire Farm in 2018, when he appeared with his parents, Amanda and Clive, as well as his eight siblings.

The narrative took a poignant turn as his parents called it a day on their 22-year marriage, with Clive previously expressing difficulty coping with Amanda's newfound fame from the programme.

Despite this transition, the pair seem cordial, maintaining the farm operations jointly and still featuring in

Reflecting on their parting, Reuben provided his insight to the Telegraph, commenting: "I know how it went, and it was all very amicable. They grew apart and split up, but they are still brilliant parents, whether they're together or not.

"Every now and again, there will be a headline about some little thing that has been blown up out of all proportion. But you can't be on telly and then expect people not to be interested in what you're doing off-screen."
