Kaleb Weds, Clarkson's Health
Clarkson's Farm Kaleb Cooper Marries Partner Taya in Oxfordshire; Jeremy Clarkson Shares Health Update
Key Points
Clarkson revealed on Clarkson’s Farm that he is in remission from an aggressive cancer diagnosed earlier, describing it as early-stage and noting a surgical operation to remove part of his prostate. He said, "I've got cancer," and that he would be "out of action for a while."
The wedding took place in Oxfordshire at Merriscourt in the Cotswolds, with Jeremy Clarkson attending alongside his partner Lisa Hogan. Kaleb arrived at the venue in a McLaren supercar with his son Oscar, and the estate spans about 500 acres.
During the post-wedding Instagram announcement, Kaleb wore a suit with a yellow tie and his bride, Taya, wore an off-the-shoulder dress and carried a bouquet, with the caption: "Such an amazing day yesterday celebrating our wedding! We both had the most amazing day! Mr and Mrs Cooper (more pics to come don’t worry)."
Kaleb’s business profile has grown alongside his television fame, with reports noting that his production company has seen significant expansion in recent years.
Clarkson reportedly provided alcohol for the reception from his Hawkstone brewery, underscoring the close ties among the Clarkson’s Farm team and the wedding celebrations.
Kaleb Cooper, the young farming star of Amazon Prime's Clarkson's Farm, married his long-term partner Taya Wilkinson on July 4 in a ceremony at Merriscourt, a 500-acre estate in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Oxford Mail reported. The couple, together for a decade, share three children: Oscar, Willa, and Ashton.
Kaleb announced the wedding on Instagram the following day, writing: "Such an amazing day yesterday celebrating our wedding! We both had the most amazing day! Mr and Mrs Cooper." His boss and TV co-star Jeremy Clarkson attended the celebration alongside his partner Lisa Hogan, Yahoo News reported.
Kaleb Arrived by McLaren, Clarkson Brought the Beer
Kaleb made a memorable entrance to the venue. He pulled up in a £250,000 McLaren supercar with his son Oscar by his side, Largs and Millport News reported. The Cotswolds venue, Merriscourt, provided a rural backdrop fitting for TV's most famous young farming contractor.
Clarkson did not just show up — he brought the drinks. He supplied unlimited alcohol from his Hawkstone brewery for the reception, underlining how close the Clarkson's Farm team has grown off-screen. Gymshark founder Ben Francis and his wife Robin also attended, serving as ushers on the day.
Taya's Off-the-Shoulder Dress and the First Wedding Photo
Kaleb wore a suit with a yellow tie for the occasion. Taya chose an off-the-shoulder white dress and carried a bouquet. Kaleb posted a photo of the pair on Instagram on July 5, promising fans "more pics to come," Oxford Mail reported.
The couple got engaged at Christmas 2022, making the wedding a moment fans had waited over two years to see. Their three children were part of the family celebration shared publicly with followers of the show, Yahoo News reported.
Clarkson Reveals Cancer Remission Ahead of the Big Day
The wedding came as Clarkson shared a major personal health update. He revealed on Clarkson's Farm that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Doctors caught it at an early stage. Surgeons removed part of his prostate, and he said he would be "out of action for a while," Birmingham Mail reported.
Clarkson told viewers plainly: "I've got cancer." He has since said he is now in remission. The health scare adds weight to the wedding celebration, with the wider Clarkson's Farm family rallying around both milestones at the same time, Head Topics reported.
Kaleb's Business Empire Grows Beyond the Farm
Kaleb's profile has risen sharply since Clarkson's Farm first aired. His production company has seen significant growth in recent years. He has moved from being a local farming contractor in Oxfordshire to one of British TV's most recognisable rural faces, Largs and Millport News reported.
The wedding marks a personal milestone to match his professional one. With Clarkson's Farm continuing to draw a large audience, both Kaleb and Clarkson remain firmly in the public eye — one celebrating a new chapter in his marriage, the other celebrating a return to health.
