James Haskell gives update on relationship with Chloe Madeley following their shock split
JAMES Haskell has given an update on his relationship with Chloe Madeley following their split in October.
During an appearance on The Jeremy Vine show on Friday, the former rugby union player, 38, delved into the dynamics with the mother of his 17-month-old child, Bodhi.
Jeremy mentioned that Chloe had been on the show the previous week, adding: “I was about to say your wife and I thought: ‘No, ex-wife or ex.’ How would you describe each other?”
James quickly stated: “She’s still technically my wife… We are co-parenting.”
He then recalled that he had watched Chloe on the show while he was at home looking after Bodhi, saying: “Listen we are co-parenting I’m still living at home.
“I was watching, I was looking after Bodhi, the full hands-on co-parenting.
“But she was brilliant. Chloe is always fantastic. She is one of the best writers and has the ability of articulating points in the best ways.”
He added: “When she comes on here she is fantastic.”
The former couple confirmed the end of their marriage in October not long after pictures emerged of Haskell parting in Ibiza and then chatting closely with a blonde PR boss.
In a joint statement, Chloe said: “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.
“Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.”
