Chloe Madeley has spoken from the heart about her ‘dark and toxic’ split from ex-husband James Haskell and admits she felt ‘relieved’ to end their five-year marriage.
The 38-year-old influencer, who parents three-year-old daughter Bodhi with the rugby star, 40, recalled the depth of her painful separation and the difficulty of watching her ex party with mysterious women.
She said: ‘They say:'[Divorce] it’s going to be so hard on you”. And yes, it is, but the hardest part was when we got married. The last year of marriage was terrible. It was so dark, painful and one of the worst periods of my life. It’s good we ended it’.
‘I’m surprised I got through it the way I did. I think more people should see it as a positive thing. I’m so proud of myself and so relieved that I actually called it a day’.
Chloe went on to explain that she was trying to protect her daughter, as well as her famous parents, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, from the painful details of the split.
She also shared insight into her and James’ successful co-parenting routine, revealing that they strive to remain ‘respectful, calm and mature’ for the sake of their daughter.
