Clarkson’s Farm fans gush over Kaleb Cooper’s son as he shares snaps of first birthday

Kaleb Cooper has shared some adorable snaps of his son Ashton as he celebrated his first birthday, just weeks after he tied the knot with long-term partner Taya

There’s no doubt that farmers across the UK have had a rough summer, as the record-breaking heat and lack of rainfall saw crop failures, reduced yields, and damaged harvests. And celebrity farmer Jeremy Clarkson is one of the many affected.

Having documented his experience of taking over the work on his Oxfordshire farm, viewers have been able to watch Jeremy learn the strings on how to run a successful farm and everything that comes with it. But viewers have also loved getting to know contractor Kaleb Cooper, who often was the one teaching Jeremy what he needed to do.

But at the end of the latest fifth series of the show, Kaleb was seen being forced to end the harvesting early after a phone call from partner Taya Wilkinson saying she was in labour with their third child. She later gave birth to baby Ashton on 14 August 2025.

Kaleb Cooper shares adorable message for son’s first birthday

On Friday, Kaleb posted to his Instagram account sharing photographs of the now one-year-old Ashton, as he celebrated his youngest son’s first birthday. He also included some heartwarming images of the pair together.

“Happy 1st birthday to the most smiley little fella I know! Ashton,” he penned in the caption accompanying his post.

The opening photograph featured Kaleb in his tractor with young Ashton positioned on the seat beside him. Dressed in a farm-themed onesie decorated with tractors and barns, Ashton displays his broad, toothless grin while stretching towards the camera.

The second photograph captures the young child dressed in coordinating striped button-up shirt and shorts while seated on a blanket on the floor in what looks like a tent, engaged with his toys. The third photograph showed him with the same beaming expression, gazing at whoever was behind the camera, evidently delighting in his soft play experience.

Fans flooded the comment section with birthday wishes for Ashton. Among the well-wishers was Lisa Hogan, Jeremy Clarkson’s girlfriend and Clarkson’s Farm co-star, who wrote: “So sweets!!” accompanied by several balloon emojis.

The birthday celebrations comes weeks after Kaleb and Taya’s wedding, which saw the couple, who have been together for over a decade, host their friends and family in a farm-inspired ceremony on 4 July.

The wedding saw Kaleb arriving at the Cotswolds wedding venue in a £250,000 McLaren supercar along with his oldest son, Oscar. After being in a relationship for years, Kaleb and Taya, who are parents to three children, finally said “I do” surrounded by loved ones in the scenic Oxfordshire countryside.

Following the service, the newly married couple captured a collection of photographs with the premium McLaren, including a fun shot of Taya raising her bouquet through the vehicle’s open roof.

The pair also posed with Kaleb’s cherished tractor, positioning themselves in one of the fields he tends to on Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm, featured in the popular Amazon Prime programme.
