Kaleb Cooper’s wedding weekend has given Clarkson’s Farm fans exactly the kind of country romance they would have hoped for: tractors, Cotswolds scenery, proud friends, family moments and one very unexpected supercar arrival.
The TV farmhand, who became a breakout favourite after appearing alongside Jeremy Clarkson, has married his long-term partner Taya Wilkinson in an idyllic celebration in Oxfordshire. The couple, who share three young children — Oscar, Willa and Ashton — reportedly tied the knot at Merriscourt, a 500-acre venue in Chipping Norton, surrounded by loved ones and familiar faces from Kaleb’s world.
According to the report, the day carried plenty of Kaleb’s trademark countryside character. While many grooms might choose a classic wedding car, Kaleb made his entrance in a £250,000 McLaren supercar, with five-year-old Oscar alongside him for the special moment. The orange vehicle was finished with a white ribbon, giving the high-end arrival a wedding-day twist.

But the celebration did not forget Kaleb’s farming roots. New photos shared by close friend and Gymshark founder Ben Francis showed two decorated tractors arranged in a field to form an archway for guests to pose beneath. It was the kind of detail that could only belong at a Clarkson’s Farm wedding: rustic, playful and unmistakably personal.
Ben shared his congratulations online, praising Kaleb and Taya as two wonderful people and wishing them a lifetime of happiness. His message also gave fans a glimpse of the atmosphere behind the scenes, with guests appearing in smart suits and ties as they celebrated the newlyweds in true countryside style.
Jeremy Clarkson was also said to be among those attending, arriving with girlfriend Lisa Hogan. The report added that Jeremy provided the drinks for the celebration through his Hawkstone brewery, giving the wedding another nod to the Clarkson’s Farm universe that helped make Kaleb a household name.

In June, Kaleb spoke exclusively to the Daily Mail about his nuptials, saying: ‘I want to say I’m really hands on but that’s a lie. I can’t really say that, it is Taya that has done the majority of it’

The wedding comes after Kaleb previously admitted that Taya had taken the lead when it came to planning their big day. Speaking before the ceremony, he joked that although he would like to say he had been very hands-on, the truth was that Taya had done most of the organising. He said she knew exactly how she wanted certain details to look, including her dress, and suggested that having a clear vision was important for such a special family occasion.
Kaleb and Taya’s love story has been years in the making. The pair have reportedly been together for a decade, and Kaleb proposed on Christmas Day in 2022, later sharing the happy news with a simple and emotional post revealing that she had said yes. Their wedding now marks a major new chapter for the couple and their three children.
For fans of Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb’s rise has been one of the show’s most charming surprises. Known for his blunt humour, practical farming knowledge and unforgettable exchanges with Jeremy, he has built a huge following since the series first aired. Away from television, he has also expanded his own business interests, from farming and contracting to merchandise and food-related ventures.
Still, the heart of the story is not fame or fortune, but family. Between the tractor archway, the Cotswolds setting, the proud friends and the little boy riding beside his dad on the way to the venue, Kaleb and Taya’s wedding appears to have captured the same thing viewers love about him on screen: honesty, humour and a deep connection to country life.
It was glamorous in places, rustic in others, and completely personal from start to finish. For Kaleb Cooper, the big day was not just a celebrity wedding — it was a countryside celebration with family at its centre, and a very fitting beginning to married life with Taya.
