Kaleb Cooper welcomes third child Ashton

Kaleb Cooper, the field manager on Clarkson’s Farm, has welcomed his third child, a son named Ashton, born on August 14 at 6:28 pm at Chipping Norton Maternity. Cooper learned his fiancée, Taya, had gone into labour while he was in the middle of a harvest, and he finished the field before heading to the hospital. The newborn weighs 6.13 pounds, and the couple also share two older children, Oscar and Willa.

Cooper announced the birth on social media with a pair of photographs: one showing Ashton swaddled in a blue knitted cap and another of Taya cradling the baby. The accompanying caption read, “Baby number 3. everyone meet Ashton, weighing 6.13lb born 14th august at 6:28pm at Chipping Norton maternity.” In a light-hearted touch, Cooper added that they had ordered Chinese takeaway for the midwives as well, writing, “Ps dont worry I bought the amazing midwifes a Chinese as well.” The post highlighted the couple’s joyful milestone amid their busy farming life.

The couple, who began dating as teenagers and became engaged in late 2022, are part of a farming family that has become widely followed through the television series Clarksons Farm, which documents life at Diddly Squat Farm....
