Our Yorkshire Farm Star Reuben Owen And Girlfriend Jessica Ellwood Planning For The Future

Reuben Owen, well known from the popular series Our Yorkshire Farm, recently set social media buzzing. He shared a photo on Instagram with his girlfriend, Jessica Ellwood, and it was not just any picture. The couple were dressed up for a friend's wedding, which sparked a flurry of excitement among fans. It was a rare glimpse into the personal life of the young TV personality, who is usually busy running his machinery business. So what does the photo mean, and what hints does it give about their plans together.

From Ravenseat Farm to his own television show

Many viewers first met Reuben Owen back in 2018 when he appeared on the Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm. The show followed the daily life of the Owen family on their 2000 acre Ravenseat Farm, led by parents Amanda and Clive with their nine children. Reuben soon became a fan favourite for his hands on attitude and love of fixing machinery.

Since then he has stepped into the spotlight in his own right. He now fronts his own show, Reuben Owen Life in the Dales, which launched earlier this year. The series focuses on his growing heavy plant machinery business and also gives a warm look at his relationship with Jessica Ellwood.

The wedding photo fans loved

Reuben keeps his private life fairly quiet, so his Instagram post on 18 November 2025 got plenty of attention. He shared a photo of himself and Jessica at a friend's wedding. Reuben looked smart in a grey suit and blue tie while Jessica wore a stunning blue dress. His caption read, Lovely day celebrating Mr and Mrs Higbee.

Fans quickly flooded the comments.

Some messages included:

Stunning couple inside and out
Power couple made for each other
You both look fab Jess looks stunning

Jessica posted her own photo from the event, writing, Lovely day celebrating Riley and Emily's wedding. The pair looked happy and relaxed, and the response from fans was overwhelmingly positive.

Reuben’s passion for heavy plant machinery

While many people know Reuben from his family's farm, his real passion lies in machinery. Excavators, tractors, diggers and anything with an engine. He now runs his own heavy plant machinery business, which features heavily in his new TV show.

The series follows Reuben as he restores equipment, takes on engineering jobs and expands his business. Jessica often appears alongside him, supporting his work and becoming a key part of the story. Their partnership, both personal and professional, is something viewers love to see.

Big dreams for the future

So what are Reuben and Jessica hoping for next Reuben has spoken openly about their long term plans. Back in July he explained that they want to buy their own farm when the right opportunity comes along.

He put it simply:

We are just waiting for something to come up. I need to get a nice place, get a bit of a farm somewhere one day. It would be ideal to have a farm where I can park my diggers and she can have her sheep and cows.

It is a perfect blend of their two passions. Reuben wants space for his machinery, while Jessica dreams of looking after her own animals. It shows they are thinking seriously about their future together.

Marriage and family plans

With the wedding photo circulating, fans naturally wondered if Reuben and Jessica might tie the knot soon. Reuben has said marriage will happen eventually but there are no immediate plans.

As for children, his answer was honest and funny. Growing up with eight siblings has definitely shaped his outlook. While he clearly loves his big family, he is not planning to follow in Amanda and Clive’s footsteps.

As he put it:

I do not think I fancy nine of them. I do not fancy nine at all. We will have to wait and see.

Right now the couple are focused on their careers, building up Reuben’s business and looking out for the perfect farm to call their own.

A bright future for the young couple

Reuben Owen and Jessica Ellwood are carving out a life that blends ambition, love and Yorkshire countryside charm. Whether they are restoring machinery, attending weddings or dreaming about their future farm, fans are eager to follow their next steps.

For now, it looks like 2026 and beyond will be full of exciting developments for the Our Yorkshire Farm star and his girlfriend.
