“So happy for you both. Your programme so good watched it every week,” a third fan posted.

A fourth added: “Lovely for you both to get away. Hope there are many more getaways.”

The heartfelt update comes as Reuben continues to grow his profile following his rise to fame on Our Yorkshire Farm and his solo series Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales, which charts his efforts to expand a heavy plant machinery business in the Yorkshire Dales.

Jessica frequently appears alongside him in the programme, giving viewers a glimpse into their life and work in the countryside.

The couple first met at a Young Farmers’ convention in 2024 and publicly confirmed their relationship later that year.

Jessica, a third-generation farmer from Brough Castle Farm, has become a familiar face to viewers thanks to her hands-on role in agriculture and her easy rapport with Reuben.

Her family farm manages hundreds of sheep and cattle alongside dairy operations, and she has impressed fans with her practical skills, particularly her ability to operate heavy machinery.

Reuben has previously hinted the relationship could have a long-term future.

Speaking about the farm’s potential as a wedding venue, he joked he “couldn’t possibly say” whether a proposal might be on the horizon, but admitted the idea had been discussed.

Before finding love with Jessica, Reuben was in a relationship with Sarah Dow, whom he met through mutual friends in 2021.

He later confirmed their split during an appearance on Lorraine, explaining they had gone their separate ways but remained good friends.

Since then, many fans have commented on his happiness both on and off screen.

Social media posts frequently show the couple balancing work and downtime together, from filming projects to enjoying rare breaks away from farm life.

Reuben’s television journey began alongside his parents Amanda and Clive Owen, on Channel 5, and he has since carved out his own identity on the channel.

He has also spoken candidly about growing up in front of cameras, telling Alan Titchmarsh on Love Your Weekend that while filming brought opportunities, it often felt like cameras appeared “whenever anything goes wrong.”
