Chloe Madeley has spoken from the heart about her “dark and toxic” split from ex-husband James Haskell, admitting she felt “relieved” to have ended their five-year marriage.
The 38-year-old influencer, who co-parents her three-year-old daughter Bodhi with the 40-year-old rugby star, recalled the depth of her painful split and the difficulty of seeing her ex partying with mystery women.
She said: “They say: ‘[Divorce] “It’s going to be so hard for you.” And, yes, it is, but the hardest part was when we got married. The last year of the marriage was horrible. It was so dark, painful and one of the worst times of my life. It’s a good thing we ended it.”
“I’m amazed that I managed to get through it the way I did. I think more people should see this as a positive thing. I am so proud of myself and so relieved to have ended this day.
Chloe went on to explain that she had tried to protect her daughter as well as her famous parents, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, from the painful details of the split.
Additionally, she shared a glimpse into her successful co-parenting routine with James, revealing that they strive to remain “respectful, calm and mature” for the sake of their daughter.
