Kaleb Cooper, known for his role on the Amazon Prime series "Clarkson’s Farm," married his longtime partner Taya Wilkinson in a ceremony held on July 4, 2026. The wedding took place at a converted barn complex near Merriscourt, Chipping Norton, set within the Cotswolds countryside, surrounded by 500 acres of farmland. Following the ceremony, celebrations continued at Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington.
Cooper, 28, and Wilkinson, 27, have been together since they were teenagers and share three children: their sons Oscar, five, and Ashton, 11 months, and their three-year-old daughter Willa Grace. The couple exchanged vows in front of family, friends, and several notable attendees from the show, including Clarkson himself, his wife Lisa, dry-stone wall expert Gerald Cooper, and farm manager Charlie Ireland. The gathering also featured guests from the wider media sphere and personalities such as internet strongman EddieDO.
The wedding incorporated several farm-themed touches, reflective of Cooper’s background. The couple posed for photos beside a red tractor decorated with gold ribbons, while guests entered and exited the venue passing under an arch formed by two forage harvesters. Entertainment included mini go-karts for children to race around the fields, adding a playful element to the rural festivities.
Cooper arrived at the reception in a McLaren supercar, a move that drew some teasing from Clarkson, who quipped on the expense, noting he would have been happy to provide a vehicle. The groom wore a grey suit, and Wilkinson donned a cream-colored gown. Drinks at the event were supplied by Clarkson’s Hawkstone Brewery, which Cooper described humorously as “literally Hawkstone on tap,” highlighting the informal and festive atmosphere.
Clarkson praised Cooper during his wedding speech, calling him a “genius” with a tongue-in-cheek caveat about his farming knowledge. The former "Top Gear" presenter, who has remained in close contact with Cooper since Cooper joined the farm team, also shared that many involved with the Amazon show attended, though some local figures opted to avoid the cameras via discreet entrances.
Cooper, who proposed to Wilkinson in 2022, has leveraged his growing public profile through various media projects, including launching his own series, "Kaleb: Down Under," which will explore farming life in Australia. He expressed gratitude on social media following the wedding, describing the day as “amazing” and thanking those who helped celebrate the occasion.
The event drew comparisons on social media to high-profile celebrity weddings, with fans characterizing it as a notable celebration within the farming and entertainment communities. The combination of rural charm, star-studded attendance, and family-centered joy marked the wedding as a memorable occasion for all involved.
