The former couple were praised for staying on good terms

Chloe Madeley and James Haskell have sparked rumours they have reunited after posting loved-up snaps on social media.

The couple, who are parents to daughter Bodhi, 16 months, announced in October that they had “mutually decided to separate” after almost 10 years together, and five years of marriage. However, since the split, fans have been left confused over their relationship status, with many speculating Chloe and former rugby player James had reunited.

In a slideshow of festive snaps posted to Chloe’s Instagram page, the 36-year-old looked sensational in a black dress and pink blazer as she posed alongside estranged husband James who looked dapper in a chic burgundy suit. The couple had headed to exclusive London hotel The Ritz on Christmas Day with their young daughter, and took a series of sweet family photos in front of a beautifully decorated tree at the upscale venue.

“Christmas with my little tartan nightmare,” she jokingly captioned the post, referring to Bodhi who looked adorable in a cute tartan dress. Fans were quick to heap praise on the former couple for making co-parenting look easy, as in one image, James can be seen holding his daughter’s hand as they walk down a corridor, and in another, kissing his daughter on the head.

“I love how you can both still be there for your daughter. Happy Christmas,” one fan commented, as another added: “Merry Christmas to yourself and you fantastic parents.” Chloe had previously spoken about spending Christmas with James, despite them parting ways, as she said she wanted Bodhi to have a “sense of family and togetherness at Christmas”.

Chloe continued: “Christmas is going to be a real family affair. As much as possible, I want Bodhi to have a real sense of family and togetherness at Christmas and it’s important for both James and I to do that.” The duo have sparked rumours they are getting back together since first announcing their split in a statement in October, and earlier this month, they were spotted leaving a gym session together.

Chloe and James confirmed news of their separation a few weeks after they had parted ways, and admitted they wanted to keep the news under wraps due to their ITV show Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair. “James and I mutually decided to 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,” the statement read.

“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,” they added.
