Kaleb Cooper has admitted that watching his fiancée give birth was ‘f**king terrible’ because of one specific reason.
The farmer turned TV star shares two children with his wife-to-be Taya; Oscar, three, and Willa, one. Popping the question on Christmas day 2022, the pair have been together for over eight years now.
And while the Clarkson’s Farm star has probably seen some things while working on the farm, it didn’t necessarily make accompanying Taya in childbirth the easiest thing.
I mean, carrying a baby for nine months and giving birth to it isn’t exactly easy either.
But anyway, Cooper spoke to The Times Magazine about his (quite sweet) struggles when Oscar was being born.
“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,” the 26-year-old explained.
“Now, when Taya was giving birth, I felt useless. I’m seeing her in pain having one of my kids.”
That really is quite sweet, right? And typical of the loveable farmer fans of Clarkson’s Farm know so well.
Cooper also went on to discuss how he and his partner have swerved the trend of his generation waiting until later in life to welcome kids into the world.

“I wanted a girl and boy, which I’ve got and am very grateful,” the lad explained.
“Then when I get older I can go down the pub with them, or out on the tractors, and I can still be energetic.”
And when he was asked if he could be having a bit more fun right now in his twenties, Cooper responded: “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.”

In his new book It’s a Farming Thing, the lad opened up about the awful moment is son was left ‘lying limp’ after falling ill.
Speaking about being a dad, he discussed how there ‘are moments when you want to cry’.
“I remember my little boy had a temperature of over forty degrees and was lying there limp, and I was terrified: ‘What on earth do I do?’.”
Cooper added: “Even when it’s not that serious, when it’s runny noses and sore throats, you’ll go for weeks without having slept properly and it all seems too much.
“You feel so helpless.
“When you take the longer view, you can console yourself with the idea they’re building their immune systems, but when you’re in the moment it can feel brutal.”
