Chloe Madeley and James Haskell appear close again as they head to a family lunch with her brother – two years after split

by

Chloe Madeley and James Haskell have fueled speculation that they might be reconciling after being seen at a family lunch with Chloe’s brother.

Fitness personality, 38, and her ex-partner, a former rugby player, 40, were seen enjoying a casual meeting at the Angel Pub in Highgate on Sunday. The couple, who separated in 2023, share a three-year-old son named Bodhi.

Taking to his Instagram page, James reposted the picture shared by Chloe’s brother Jack, 39.

The I’m A Celebrity star sat next to Chloe, who blew a kiss to the camera.

Despite no longer being together, the former couple have always been friendly and worked well together to raise their daughter.

Daily Mail has contacted Chloe and James’ representatives for a comment.

Recently, James opened up about the challenges of co-parenting with Chloe, explaining that he doesn’t share the difficult parts of their separation online.

Oh my goodness, I was practically glued to the screen today! He was on This Morning with Mike Tindall – can you believe it?! They were chatting with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley about their new book, ‘Reloaded – The Good, The Bad & The Rugby’. It’s co-written with Alex Payne, but sadly Alex couldn’t be there today. Still, seeing him on the sofa was everything! I immediately pre-ordered the book, of course.

In the book, James touches upon the death of his father and navigating parenthood with Chloe.

James described Chloe as a wonderful mother and an incredible person. He praised her talent, intelligence, and skill in her profession.

Okay, so when things fall apart – and honestly, when you’re as visible as they are, everyone’s watching – it’s just… intense. But for me, as a huge follower, it’s so clear what should matter. It’s always about the kid, you know? All the drama, all the hurt feelings… none of that should even register. Forget about pride or who’s ‘winning,’ it’s just about doing what’s best for their child. That’s what I’m always hoping they remember.

Co-parenting is a mixed bag – some days are great, others are tough, which is normal. But we always focus on what’s best for our daughter and try to handle things positively.

‘I think it’s important to talk about it. 

I often receive messages from men on social media who are going through separations or facing challenges, and they ask me for advice after seeing something I’ve shared.

Social media can be a bit of a mixed bag – it doesn’t always show things as they really are, and it can have both positive and negative effects.

‘You never post about bad stuff. You’ve got to take everything with a punch of salt.’

He said of Chloe: ‘She always had my back.

She’s really supportive now, just like she always is. Our daughter is wonderful, and we hope things continue to go well for her – it’s not always an easy journey.

‘But you’ve got to try!’

James and Chloe began dating in 2014 and got married four years later. They are the children of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.
