It's been two months since Chloe Madeley and James Haskell, 38, called time on their five-year marriage and things understandably remain raw for the family. The pair, who said at the time of the split our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter' are still learning to navigate co-parenting, something that is especially difficult in the public eye. But, with Christmas looming and one-year-old Bodhi their priority, how will the estranged couple spend the festive season?
No going back
Coming to terms with the breakup has been particularly tough for Chloe and hasn't been helped by speculation. A source tells Woman's Own, 'She was very upset about the accusations of this being manufactured for publicity for her reality show. This is a very real thing for her and she really values a stable home life.'
But despite her wish for a traditional family unit, much like her parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have given her, Chloe's drawn a clear line in the sand on the nearly 10-year relationship, even shutting down the possibility of a reunion with the former rugby union player.
The personal trainer, 36, was asked, 'Is there a chance you and James will get back together... it's so sad,' to which she replied, 'James and I are not together any more but we are determined to be the absolute best parents we can be to our amazing little girl.'
