THEY MARRIED JUST THREE MONTHS AFTER MEETING — MORE THAN 40 YEARS LATER, THEY’RE “MORE IN LOVE THAN EVER”

Some love stories begin slowly.

Steve and Jean Green’s began almost immediately.

Just three months after meeting, the couple married — and more than four decades later, their relationship remains one of the sweetest stories connected to The Yorkshire Vet.

Jean once summed up their enduring bond in just a few words:

“We’re more in love now than ever.”

Behind their familiar appearances on television is a much quieter story — one built around family, farming, shared adventures and a lifetime of choosing to stay together.

IT ALL STARTED WITH A CHANCE MEETING

Steve first met Jean through her brother, who worked for him.

Neither could have known at the time that the meeting would eventually lead to a marriage lasting more than four decades.

Their relationship developed quickly, and just three months after they met, they became husband and wife.

From the beginning, their lives were closely connected to the countryside and farming — a lifestyle that would eventually become an important part of their story on television.

BUILDING A LIFE TOGETHER

The couple made their home at Stoneybrough Farm near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, where farming became a shared way of life.

Running a farm is rarely easy.

There are long days, early mornings, unpredictable weather and countless responsibilities.

But Steve and Jean built their life around working together and supporting their family.

Their daughter, Sarah, became another important part of the family story.

For the Greens, home was never simply a house.

It was a farm, a workplace, a place to raise a family — and a place filled with memories created over decades.

THEN CAME THE YORKSHIRE VET

Viewers eventually came to know Steve and Jean through The Yorkshire Vet, the popular Channel 5 series following the work of veterinary surgeons in Yorkshire.

They became familiar faces through their connection with vet Peter Wright, allowing audiences to see another side of life on their farm.

Their appearances were never simply about farming.

They showed the warmth of a couple who had spent decades building a life together.

And for viewers, there was something particularly special about seeing a long-married couple still enjoying each other’s company.

 THEY EVEN RENEWED THEIR VOWS

In 2019, Steve and Jean celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a special ceremony on the farm.

The couple renewed their wedding vows, surrounded by the place that had been at the heart of so much of their life together.

Four decades after saying “I do” for the first time, they were once again standing beside each other.

It was more than an anniversary celebration.

It was a reminder of just how much life they had experienced together.

 “MORE IN LOVE NOW THAN EVER”

Perhaps the most touching part of their story is that the years haven’t appeared to diminish their connection.

Quite the opposite.

Jean’s words — “We’re more in love now than ever” — capture the kind of relationship that grows through shared experiences rather than grand gestures.

They have experienced the ordinary pressures of farm life, raised a family, celebrated milestones and navigated the changes that come with getting older.

Yet they have continued to find happiness in simply being together.

 STILL MAKING MEMORIES

Their relationship hasn’t been confined to the farm.

Steve and Jean have also enjoyed travelling and discovering new places together.

Their adventures have given them opportunities to step away from everyday farm life and experience something different as a couple.

But perhaps what makes their story so relatable is that the romance isn’t presented as something extravagant.

It is found in companionship.

In having someone beside you after a long day.

In sharing memories.

And in continuing to make new ones, even after many years together.

 A LOVE STORY THAT KEPT GROWING

More than 40 years after their wedding, Steve and Jean’s story is a reminder that lasting love doesn’t necessarily need to be dramatic.

Sometimes it is built quietly — one day, one challenge and one shared memory at a time.

They met.

They married just three months later.

They built a family and a life around their farm.

They renewed their vows after four decades.

And they continued exploring the world together.

For viewers who know them from The Yorkshire Vet, Steve and Jean may be familiar television faces.

But behind the cameras is something much more personal:

A husband and wife who have spent more than four decades choosing each other — and who still say they are happier together than ever. ❤️
