Kaleb Cooper, the 26-year-old star of Amazon Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm, leads a fulfilling life both on and off the screen. While he is best known for his quick wit and no-nonsense approach to farming alongside Jeremy Clarkson, Cooper also dedicates himself to his growing family. He and his fiancée Kaya are parents to two children, Oscar and Willa Grace, and are expecting their third child in August 2025.
Who Is Kaleb Cooper?
Kaleb Cooper was born and raised in Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds. He made his television debut in June 2021 in the first series of Clarkson's Farm, a documentary that follows Jeremy Clarkson's journey into farming. Despite being briefly replaced by Harriet Cowan during series four, Cooper remains the Farm Manager of Diddly Squat Farm. His intimate knowledge of the land, gained from working for the previous owner, made him an invaluable asset to Clarkson, who admitted at the time: 'We needed a tractor driver for the series and we looked everywhere. I said: I tell you what, you could look at the guy who’s actually doing the tractoring here now anyway. So we got Kaleb and I think you’ll all agree he’s good on television.'
Family Life with Fiancée Kaya
Kaleb Cooper is engaged to his long-term partner Kaya, with whom he has been together for nearly eight years. The couple announced their engagement on Christmas Day 2022, with Cooper posting a picture of Kaya holding up her ring and writing: 'She said yes! 2022 has been an amazing year. This definitely tops it off. I honestly can’t wait for 2023 and all the following years after that. @tayaaaxx your my best friend as well as the love of my life. Was a long wait for this (6 and a half years).'
Children and Expanding Family
Kaleb and Kaya have two children: two-year-old Oscar and Willa Grace, who was born in June 2023. Cooper often shares pictures of himself and Oscar on Diddly Squat Farm, teaching his son the ropes of farming. The couple are now expecting their third child, due in August 2025. Announcing the news on Instagram, Cooper wrote: 'Very excited to announce that’s baby Cooper number 3 is cooking…. Going to be a very very busy august.'
Relationship with Gerald Cooper
Despite sharing the same last name, Kaleb Cooper is not related to Gerald Cooper, another star of Clarkson's Farm. The two are close friends due to the time they spend together on the farm, but they are not family.
Friendship with Jeremy Clarkson
Kaleb Cooper initially did not know who Jeremy Clarkson was before working with him, as he admitted he 'doesn't have much time to watch TV.' Over the years, their relationship has evolved from one of impatience to genuine friendship. Cooper stated in an interview: 'We have become quite close now. He’s been a father figure to me when it comes to understanding TV. I’ve learnt from the best there is and – I can’t believe I’m saying this – when he’s not p**sing me off, there is love there.' He also humorously told The Times: 'He referred to me as a tractor driver. I’m a Farm Manager. I’m the boss. It’s Kaleb’s Farm, secretly.'
Net Worth and Salary
The exact amount Amazon Prime Video pays Kaleb Cooper for his role on Clarkson's Farm is not publicly disclosed, but it is widely reported that he receives a fee for his participation. His net worth remains private, though his growing fame and ongoing role on the show suggest financial success.
