Jeremy Clarkson is back on our screens with a brand new season of his hugely popular programme, Clarkson's Farm, but away from the screen, the star is a proud dad to three children. Alongside this, the former Top Gear star is a grandfather to two grandchildren.

Jeremy welcomed his three children, Emily, Finlo and Katya, with his ex-wife, Frances Cain, raising their brood in Chipping Norton. While his daughter Emily is a successful content creator beloved for her empowering videos, the star's two other children prefer to keep out of the spotlight.

Here's all you need to know about the star's family…

Emily Clarkson, 31

Emily is Jeremy's oldest child and the one with the highest profile, having followed her motoring journalist father into the writing world. The star - who goes by Em - has published two books, Can I Speak to Someone in Charge? and Dear Pretty Normal Me.

Em co-hosted the podcast Should I Delete That? alongside influencer Alex Light until they put the project on pause last December. Over the course of the podcast's four-year run, the pair discussed numerous topics ranging from eating disorders to online bullying. In 2020, she co-founded the Have a Gos (HAGS), which aimed to encourage women to compete in "intimidating sporting events".

Em is a proud feminist and spoke out against her father's column for The Sun where he expressed his "hatred" for Meghan Markle, claiming that everyone in his age bracket agreed.

In an Instagram Stories post at the time, Emily wrote: "My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred."

Em walked down the aisle with Alex Andrew in 2022 and the pair welcomed daughter Arlo the following year. Over Christmas 2024, Em and Alex welcomed their second daughter, Xanthe. "She's here," Em said. "Xanthe Fiadh Andrew arrived a few days ago and just brought the sunshine with her. We are all so happy."

On an episode of Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy shed some insight into his life as a grandfather. He joked that he deliberately asked for the "noisiest toys you have" to give to his young granddaughter, specifically to annoy his daughter. 

Em got him back by gifting him a flock of incredibly loud guinea fowl for the farm. Standing outside his house on the show, Jeremy lamented: "Our bedroom is there, that's the soundtrack of our lives from now on... She's repaid me with the noisiest farmyard animals that you can get."

Finlo keeps a low-profile

Jeremy's only son typically prefers to stay out of the spotlight. The star has a strong resemblance to his father and appears to be sports mad, especially when it comes to rugby.

In 2018, Finlo reportedly underwent keyhole surgery for "high-thoracic injuries" after he was spotted on holiday in Barbados with a neck and spinal brace.

Finlo was also part of Jeremy's desire to get fitter, as he penned in the Sunday Times that he struggled to get his "breath back" whenever he would go on walks with his son.

Katya Clarkson, 25

Katya is a talented photographer

Katya is the youngest of Jeremy's three children and while she also keeps a fairly low-profile, the star is known to be a whizz at photography, experimenting with numerous styles. Katya has reportedly been dating boyfriend Kieran Hiscock for two years.

Her father occasionally shares glimpses of their family life in his newspaper columns. In late 2025, he noted that after a multi-generational family vacation to Costa Rica, his children jokingly "considered not coming back to the UK" because they fell in love with the slower pace of life.

Jeremy has been open about wanting his children to take over his famous Oxfordshire property, Diddly Squat Farm, when he passes away - but it seems the feeling isn't mutual. He revealed in an interview:  "I keep telling them, listen, when I'm dead, I don't want you to sell it. They look at me like, 'Are you joking?".
