Chloe Madeley worked to 'save marriage' with James Haskell after baby's birth

Chloe Madeley has opened up about saving her marriage to I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star James Haskell following the birth of their first child.

The daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan has talked about the difficult times in her and her husband's relationship after the two became parents in August 2022. She revealed that there has been moments where she thought "Are we ever going to come out the other side of this?" as they struggled with sleepless nights.

The 36-year-old personal trainer - who recently admitted James is "furious" she won't take his surname - explained at the start of motherhood journey, she and her husband would often find themselves bickering about who was more tired before getting their marriage back on track.

Speaking to Bella magazine, she said: "We're starting to spend more time together and enjoy it as opposed to getting into a competition about who's more tired and say 'Who's done the bottles?'" According to the Daily Mail, Chloe continued to explain how she "managed to save her marriage" and prioritise the romance again.

The couple welcomed their daughter Bodhi into the world together last August, with Chloe being very open about the tricky road to becoming a mother and conceiving a child. She has also admitted she hasn't found every moment easy and becoming a parent has left her a stronger woman.

Celebrating her child's first birthday, she shared a sweet compilation video to her Instagram page. Captioning the post Chloe wrote: "My baby girl is 1. I have a baby girl. And she is 1 year old. Sentences that still feel alien to me, but the last year has been a journey and a meaning I never could have imagined for myself.

"I never knew what it would feel like, and it feels like a crashing wave of pure, undiluted love on my soul and on my life, and I can’t lie, with that has come A LOT of fear. Oh Bodhi, what did we do to get so lucky? You are the happiest, smiliest, friendliest, most affectionate, adventurous, independent, funny, sweet natured bulldozer of a character."

She finished off by saying: "You are my core, my heart, my anchor, my reason, my everything. I love you. So much. I hope one day you read this, and I hope you feel immensely, overwhelmingly loved. I hope you feel loved every day of your life. Because you are. I love you. To the ends of the earth and back. More than anything or anyone. It’s you and me. Always forever."
