James Haskell reveals how he and ex-wife Chloe Madeley will navigate Christmas with their daughter Bodhi, 2, after their separation

James Haskell recently revealed how he and his ex-wife Chloe Madeley plan to spend their Christmas Day. 

The former rugby player, 39, who shares two-year-old daughter Bodhi with his ex-wife Chloe, 37, whom he split from in 2023, shared that he and his former partner will join forces on Christmas morning for their daughter and then go their separate ways. 

James, who has just moved into his new home, told OK!: 'We’re going to be together on Christmas morning and we’ll do all the stuff we do as usual.

'And then I’ll go off to my house and Chloe will go to her parents. We’re trying to make it as easy as possible.'

He added: 'And because I’ve just moved into my house, I’m with my parents and I’m treating my parents to Christmas dinner made by someone else.' 

Despite their split, which they announced last October, James and Chloe have remained as amicable as possible and James even confessed that he would love his ex to get her own reality show. 

The pair appeared together last year in the ITVX reality series At Home With The Madeleys, which also featured Chloe's famous parents Richard and Judy. 

And while James said he didn't particularly 'love' being in the show, he felt Chloe's personality shone.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, James said: 'Chloe had her reality show, which I was meant to have a bit of a part in. And then it became part of the narrative. So it certainly wasn't my show' 

'I haven’t watched it back. I remember it being quite funny and I was like playing quite a tongue-in-cheek character. They obviously had a narrative, which didn’t necessarily represent a reality, but it was a nice story that they wanted to have.' 

He added: 'I had a lot of fun doing it and Chloe's super intelligent, she’s a natural. She's very, very good and I just thought it was fun.'

'I played up to a certain character and I thought Chloe was brilliant. I'd hope she was going to get another series just for her because she deserves it.'

'I had fun doing it and it really showcased Chloe for who she is. She's an incredibly hard-working woman, very intelligent, has a best-selling book and is a PT.' 

'She had to juggle a lot that summer when we filmed because I was away DJing a lot and I just wanted to do it for her.' 

This year's Christmas seems to be a successful continuation of last year's festivities, after which Chloe revealed during an exclusive chat with OK! Last January that she felt the former couple had 'nailed' Christmas with their little one. 

Last Christmas, James and Chloe spent Christmas Day with her parents Richard and Judy, and the personal trainer said the day was 'so lovely' as they all came together as a family.

She then added that she was 'so proud' that they managed to pull off their first Christmas as co-parents. 

James and Chloe, who married in 2018, confirmed they had split in a joint statement released in October last year. 

The couple who had starred in their own ITV reality show Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair, announced: 'Chloe and I mutually decided 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.'

She added: '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.'

Sharing his own statement to Instagram, James added: 'It's with a lot of sadness I write this post, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, it has to be done.'

'My priority is my daughter's and Chloe's happiness and security. For that reason, I won't be commenting any further.'

In May of this year, Chloe opened up about how her separation from her estranged husband 'was f***ing awful' as she gave an insight into their relationship.

Chloe admitted the pair broke up as they both wanted their relationship to 'stop being awful' and 'miserable'.

After their split, the couple still lived together in their north London home and were often spotted together with Bodhi as they tried to be as amicable as they could for their little girl.

Despite some fans thinking the two were back together because of this, Chloe previously confirmed that they had both moved on adding that she expects the former England player to find someone soon.

She said: 'It'll probably happen for James long before it happens to me if it hasn't already.'

'I'm waiting for the conversation to happen at some point.'
