But the couple’s new home isn’t just for the two of them. Their hearts — and their home — now belong to a tiny, three-week-old lamb named Fluff. The little lamb, who tragically broke her leg after her mother accidentally stepped on her, has been adopted permanently by the couple.
Jess shared her delight: “We have a new pet. This is Fluff. She’s quite precious. Lambing can be tough… lots can go wrong.” She added, laughing, “She’s going to be our pet sheep now — she’ll live with us forever. She’s even been in the house, sleeping on a blanket.”
Reuben is just as smitten, joking that Fluff feels more like a child than a pet. “She’s so cute. When she sees Jess, her little face absolutely lights up. She’s starting to get to know her name now too,” he said.
“There isn’t much partying. More 5am starts,” Reuben admits. “But in each other, we’ve found someone who really gets the beauty of farming life.”
The new series of Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales premieres on Channel 5 on May 5, promising more behind-the-scenes romance, farm chaos, and of course, plenty of adorable Fluff moments.
