Kaleb Cooper, the charming farmer from Chipping Norton featured on Jeremy Clarkson’s Amazon Prime Video hit series Clarkson’s Farm, recently shared a touching family moment with his followers. The 26-year-old posted a rare update celebrating his daughter’s second birthday, capturing a slice of rural life that fans adore.
On June 10, Cooper took to Instagram with a playful video captioned, “Happy 2nd birthday to my beautiful daughter.” The clip shows his daughter, Willa Grace Cooper, joyfully jumping in a muddy puddle on the family farm. The voice behind the camera, likely Cooper’s fiancée Taya, can be heard jokingly declaring, “I’m banning Peppa from the house,” referencing the beloved children’s character Peppa Pig and her fondness for puddles.
Kaleb and Taya, his high school sweetheart, share two children — Oscar and Willa Grace — with their third baby expected later this year. The Instagram post has resonated widely, amassing over 1.5 million views, nearly 76,000 likes, and hundreds of heartfelt comments.

Fans praised the candid moment. One wrote, “Perfect puddle jumping technique by the gorgeous birthday girl!” Another added, “She’s gorgeous, enjoying muddy puddles in her party dress and wellies. Living the best life.” The farm lifestyle drew admiration, with a comment reading, “Kids growing up on farms have so much fun, freedom, and frivolity. Can’t beat it,” while another appreciated the simple joys away from screens: “Nice to see kids playing properly and not on an iPad.”
Kaleb and Taya have been together for eight years. Earlier this year, Kaleb excitedly announced their growing family during a February Instagram post: “Very excited to announce that baby Cooper number 3 is cooking…going to be a very, very busy August.” The couple lives together in Chipping Norton and celebrated a milestone engagement on Christmas Day 2022. Their first child, Oscar, was born in March 2021.
Kaleb’s rise to fame began with the premiere of Clarkson’s Farm in 2021. Beyond television, he has authored three books exploring country life: The World According to Kaleb, Britain According to Kaleb: The Wonderful World of Country Life, and It’s a Farming Thing.
Recently, new cast member Harriet Cowan joined the show in series four to support the farm during Kaleb’s UK speaking tour. Despite circulating rumors of Kaleb’s replacement, Jeremy Clarkson quickly dispelled them in an Instagram video, explaining that Harriet’s role was temporary. Clarkson humorously admitted managing the farm solo was a “complete hash,” necessitating Harriet’s help until Kaleb returned.
This update affirms Kaleb Cooper remains an important part of Clarkson’s Farm both on and off screen, continuing to share authentic moments of rural family life with his growing fanbase.
