Chloe Madeley marked her 39th birthday by enjoying a dinner date with her ex-husband, James Haskell, and their three-year-old daughter, Bodhi. The trio dined together two years after announcing their separation.
Birthday Celebrations
Chloe was seen smiling with James, 41, and Bodhi during the outing. She wore a sheer white blouse, while the former rugby star opted for a blue polo top. The family shared a meal of fish tacos, and Chloe posted snapshots of the occasion on social media.
She also shared an image of herself enjoying another dinner date with her famous parents, Richard and Judy, complete with a glass of wine. Her Instagram caption read: "Birthday weekend," and it attracted complimentary comments from followers. One user wrote: "Bodhi has a great mum and dad. Happy belated birthday Chloe." Another added: "Beautiful wholesome memories," while a third said: "Happy birthday. What a fantastic family Bodhi has."
Reflections on the Split
Earlier this year, James opened up about the couple's separation, admitting, "I probably didn't support her enough." The pair married in 2018 and welcomed Bodhi in 2022, but confirmed their amicable split just over 12 months later. Despite the breakup, they remain close for co-parenting.
James explained: "I had a lot of DJ gigs away. For the first time that part of my career was going well. I would stay out an extra night and wouldn't come home, and I probably didn't support her enough. I didn't get that stuff right."
Support for Celebs Go Dating
James also revealed that Chloe encouraged him to join the cast of Celebs Go Dating. He said: "I was on the fence, and she encouraged me to go for it. She's a good friend and my co-parent, and we're very transparent with each other. I feel lucky to have that support, it makes everything feel collaborative, and it's a relationship I truly value."
He added that despite a challenging period before their separation, he now regards Chloe as a "good friend." He continued: "We're very transparent with each other. I feel lucky to have that kind of trust and support - it makes everything feel collaborative, and it's a relationship I truly value." On the show, he described Chloe as "a proper bad*ss," saying: "Everything I fell in love with in her – her intelligence, her strength – is what I still look for in people."
Continued Bond
A source told new magazine that Chloe remains by James' side because "if he's working, it helps the family. She wants him to do really well on the show." The couple's amicable relationship highlights their commitment to co-parenting Bodhi.
