Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper is going to be a dad for the third time.
He announced the exciting news on his social media this evening.
Kaleb, 26, wrote on his instagram: “Very excited to announce that’s baby Cooper number 3 is cooking…. Going to be a very very busy August.”
The farmer and his partner Taya are already parents to son Oscar, three, and Willa, nineteen months.
Kaleb’s fans react
The pair were soon inundated with wellwishes.
“Congratulations to you both,” wrote Love Island star Jessie Wynter.
“Congratulations to Taya and the most fertile man in the Cotswolds!,” added a pal.
“You’ll have an operator for each tractor in 16 years time,” chipped in another.
Kaleb and Taya have been together for eight years.
Secret struggle
Kaleb has previously revealed how he struggled watching Taya give birth in the past.
He explained that he felt ‘useless’ during fianceé Taya‘s labour as he didn’t know what he should be doing at the time.
He explained: “It was f***ing terrible, because when I’m helping that cow, I know exactly what I’m doing. I can bring the calf around to the mum and so on.
“Now, when Taya was giving birth, I felt useless. I’m seeing her in pain having one of my kids.”
He also told The Times Magazine how he and Taya decided to have kids earlier in life rather than wait.
He said: “I wanted a girl and boy, which I’ve got and am very grateful.
“Then when I get older I can go down the pub with them, or out on the tractors, and I can still be energetic.”
Kaleb added: “I’ll make all the money now, hopefully have a farm, then chill out, go partying and be in Ibiza, though I can’t think of anything worse than being in a nightclub.”
Kaleb has proved extremely popular on Clarkson’s Farm, landing his own spin-off special, The World According To Kaleb.
