Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen is in a relationship with married businessman Robert Davies. The 71-year-old has been pictured with the mum-of-nine in London, with details emerging earlier this week of their new relationship.
Robert has been married to his wife Yusami for 12 years. According to the Daily Mail, she has been left "heartbroken" after finding a note from Amanda to her husband while she cleaned out his car.
They are said to be "inseparable" following Amanda's split from her husband Clive. The Mail has reported that Yusami "can't believe" what has happened. The Mail said: "She gave up a career in banking after meeting Rob in Tokyo. She is so upset and lonely."

Pictures emerged of Robert and Amanda earlier this week. The pair were snapped arriving at Folkestone Leas Hall by car on Tuesday, which is where she was due to perform her one woman show about farming in the Yorkshire Dales.
But who is the new man in Amanda's life? Well, Robert isn't actually new to Amanda. The pair are said to have known each other for half a decade and Robert knew Clive too.
It has been reported that Clive and Amanda hired Robert to update their website in 2018. It was around this time that Amanda started to gain national prominence and it was the year the first series of Our Yorkshire Farm aired on Channel 5 before it was axed last year.
The Daily Mail reports that a Facebook post from December 2018 shows Robert and Amanda in a picture together. It is accompanied by a post which reads: "Have you been watching Channel 5 's series ' Our Yorkshire Farm ' about the Yorkshire Shepherdess? I really enjoyed working on her website earlier this year, and very happy that she loves it!"

Robert even spoke about having lunch with Amanda and Clive at Ravenseat farm in North Yorkshire in 2018. Posting a picture of the couple, he wrote: "Had lunch with these two at their farm in Upper Swaledale. 1,000 sheep, 9 kids and very soon a brand-new website for the Yorkshire Shepherdess."
It has been reported that Robert runs a website design company called 'It'seeze Web Design Scarborough'. It is thought he used his skills to design Amanda's 'Yorkshire Shepherdess' website.
It is reported he lives in Malton, North Yorkshire, and on his company's website, he boasts that he has the "expertise to help your company successfully develop its online presence".
It goes on to say: "We're a local web design company committed to helping other local businesses succeed on the web. Conveniently based in the picturesque town of Malton, we work with clients throughout North Yorkshire, with customers in Pickering, Thirsk, Northallerton, Bridlington, Scarborough, Whitby, Driffield, and beyond.
"When you choose it'seeze Web Design Scarborough, you can rest assured that your local website consultant Rob Davies will be available to help you every step of the way before, during, and after your website launch.
"It doesn’t stop there however, as Rob will provide continued support and assistance to ensure that you’re always getting the most out of your website long after it goes live. "
Robert reportedly left the home he shares with Yusami earlier this year. He is said to be 'inseparable' from Amanda despite their 23-year age gap.
Amanda and Clive broke news of their split last year. The couple have nine children together and shot to fame on Our Yorkshire Farm which has since been cancelled following the pair's split.
Amanda now stars in her own More4 show 'Farming Lives', whereas Clive teamed up with his son Reuben for a new spin-off show called 'Beyond The Yorkshire Farm: Reuben & Clive'.
