Kaleb's Tractor Wedding
Clarkson's Farm Star Kaleb Cooper Plans Summer Wedding, Jeremy Clarkson Bringing Beer
Key Points
Clarkson will attend Kaleb and Taya's wedding and bring booze from his Hawkstone brewery.
Kaleb and Taya have three children: Oscar (5), Willa (3), and Ashton (newborn; birth announced last August).
Kaleb envisions a 'feral farm wedding' with an unlimited beer supply from Jeremy's Hawkstone brewery.
Taya's social media presence is modest (about 334 Instagram followers) while Kaleb has around 3.2 million followers.
The couple plan to marry in a local venue and then host a big party back at a farm.
Kaleb Cooper, the 27-year-old star of Clarkson's Farm, is getting married this summer to fiancée Taya Wilkinson — and he wants tractors at the wedding. The Cotswolds farmer, who has 3.2 million Instagram followers, has shared a few details about the private ceremony while keeping most plans tightly under wraps.
The couple have three children together: Oscar, 5, Willa, 3, and newborn Ashton, whose birth was announced last August. Cooper proposed to Taya on Christmas Day 2022 with the caption "She said yes!" according to The Daily Mail. The wedding is planned for a local Cotswolds venue, followed by a big party back at a farm.
Kaleb Wants Tractors, Taya Wants Something Normal
Cooper has been open about a lighthearted disagreement with Taya over the wedding style. "I want to arrive on a tractor and have them lined up," he said, according to The Sun. Taya is not on board with that vision. She prefers something more understated. Cooper calls it "a bit of a clash of styles."
Despite the tractor standoff, Cooper describes his ideal day as a "feral farm wedding." He envisions an unlimited beer supply and a relaxed, countryside atmosphere. Taya has handled most of the planning herself. Cooper admits she has done the heavy lifting while he has been busy with his national tour and new filming projects.
Jeremy Clarkson Will Attend and Bring the Beer
Cooper's boss and mentor Jeremy Clarkson is expected to play a big role in the celebrations. Clarkson has reportedly offered an unlimited supply of lager and cider from his Hawkstone Brewery for the reception, according to The Sun. Reports suggest over 1,000 litres of Hawkstone beer and cider could be earmarked for the 150 to 200 expected guests.
Clarkson's attendance was widely anticipated by fans of the show. The two have a well-known bond built on their years working together at Diddly Squat Farm. Having Clarkson supply the drinks fits neatly into Cooper's vision of a wedding rooted in the world of farming and the people closest to him.
A Private Family at the Centre of a Very Public Wedding
While Cooper commands 3.2 million Instagram followers, Taya Wilkinson keeps a private account with around 334 followers. The contrast sums up how the couple navigate fame. The ceremony is expected to stay local and low-key. Their three children — Oscar, Willa, and Ashton — are expected to take part in the day, according to The Daily Mail.
Cooper has been clear that the day needs to feel meaningful for their families, not just for cameras or fans. Taya is described as the quiet anchor of the family. She has managed the household and most of the wedding logistics while Cooper filmed new seasons of Clarkson's Farm and toured the UK with his live show.
Australia Show Follows as Cooper Steps Out on His Own
The wedding comes just ahead of Cooper's biggest solo career move yet. A four-part series will follow his farming journey in Australia, taking him away from Diddly Squat Farm for the first time. The show marks a clear step toward building a brand that stands on its own, separate from Clarkson, according to The Daily Mail.
Cooper was just 21 when he was discovered by the Clarkson's Farm production team. His estimated net worth has grown to around £2 million since then, driven by his books and national tours, according to Express. The wedding and the Australia series together signal a new chapter — one where Cooper is firmly the star of his own story.
