Former rugby star and wife Chloe seen together with daughter after September separation

Former rugby star James Haskell and his estranged wife, Chloe Madeley, were spotted having lunch together in North London recently. The couple, who announced their split in September, were seen with their one-year-old daughter, Bodhi. A source revealed that the meet-up was not a sign of reconciliation but rather a friendly lunch as they navigate co-parenting.

The source stated, “Chloe and James aren’t getting back together. They were out for a friendly lunch while they still work out how to co-parent. Just because they aren’t together, it doesn’t mean they won’t stay friendly.”

The Saturday meet-up followed weeks of speculation after James Haskell was pictured looking cozy with a PR woman pal at the Chiltern Firehouse. The couple officially announced their separation in a joint statement, expressing that constant speculation about their marriage compelled them to address the matter publicly.

Chloe Madeley recently provided more insight into the challenges they faced during their crumbling marriage, describing it as the “hardest summer of their lives.” In a social media post, she shared that her focus had shifted to their daughter, Bodhi, and emphasized the importance of privacy during this time. The couple’s joint statement highlighted their commitment to co-parenting with love and their primary focus on their daughter.

As they navigate this new chapter of co-parenting, James and Chloe continue to handle the situation with grace and emphasize their commitment to their daughter’s well-being.
