Ben laughed, and Cat jokingly added, “You could teach those pigs a thing or two, Kaleb for sure.”
Kaleb chuckled in response, saying, “I like to think of myself as an easy calving bull. I think only the farming community will understand that because when you’re buying a bull, you have to look at different aspects of that bull.”
The exciting news was initially shared by Kaleb on Instagram earlier this year, where he wrote, “Very excited to announce that baby Cooper number 3 is cooking… Going to be a very, very busy August.”
Kaleb and his partner Taya, his high school sweetheart of eight years, are already proud parents to son Oscar and daughter Willa. The couple was met with an overwhelming wave of support on social media, with fans congratulating them and sharing their excitement.
In a candid interview with The Times, Kaleb reflected on the challenges of fatherhood. He admitted feeling helpless during the birth of his first child, contrasting it with his confident experience delivering calves on the farm.
“It was [expletive] terrible,” he said. “When I’m helping a cow give birth, I know exactly what I’m doing. But when Taya was giving birth, I felt useless watching her in pain having one of my kids.”
Kaleb’s honest and heartfelt remarks have resonated with many, showing a different side of the farmer fans have come to admire. This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
