Chloe Madeley and James Haskell have split up after five years of marriage.
The couple officially called it quits in September, just 13 months after they welcomed their daughter, Bodhi. Confirming their breakup, the 36-year-old told The Sun: “James and I mutually decided separate at the end of September, 2023.
“We had not planned on releasing a statement at this time – certainly not while the television show was airing – but constant speculation about our marriage has, unfortunately, forced our hand. Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time.”

She signed off the statement with: “Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.” The former couple recently sparked speculation that their marriage had come to an end after James, 38, was spotted cosying up to a mystery blonde at Chiltern Firehouse in West London on October 12.

Just one day later, Chloe headed on a night out with pals in Soho, London, but ditched her wedding ring for the occasion. Since then, the duo have been seen out several times without their wedding bands.
The news of their split comes just weeks after their new reality show, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair kicked off on ITV. The show gives fans an insight into how the former rugby player and the personal trainer live their lives, with Chloe wanting to “keep things real” in front of the camera.

During the most recent episode, the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan claimed she wanted to “kill” her husband after he said she had “massive heavy hands”. James asserted: “Oh, what have you done now? It’s your heavy hands, isn’t it?
“You have got massive, heavy hands. Every time you close the door on my car, I worry it is going to fall off.” After biting back about him getting voted out of I’m A Celeb, Chloe snapped: “You getting frustrated about something that is f*** all to do with me and then yelling at me thinking it is my fault because I am the closest person to you at that time. This is why I want to kill you, which is what we were talking about earlier.”

Chloe and James met in 2014 and they tied the knot four years later. In February 2022, the former Wasps RFC player announced they were expecting their first child during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
In August of that year, the fitness guru gave birth to their daughter. Announcing their happy news, the proud parents said: “We are delighted to welcome to the world our daughter. We are utterly besotted and beaming with pride.”
