Chloe Madeley and James Haskell: Proving Friendship After the Storm
Chloe Madeley and her ex-husband James Haskell have once again shown their fans the strength of their co-parenting relationship, this time through a light-hearted Instagram video. The fitness expert and former rugby star were seen engaging in a playful, acrobatic viral challenge, all while showing off their undeniable chemistry. This fun interaction came mere days after Chloe made a dramatic dash to James’ side when he was involved in a car crash with their daughter, Bodhi.
Chloe, 38, and James, 41, who share a 3-year-old daughter, have proven that they are still very much in sync, even after their 2023 split. While the video of them attempting the acrobatic trend is playful and full of laughs, the timing of the post is significant. Just days earlier, Chloe had been seen rushing to the scene of James’ accident in North London. Photos obtained by The Daily Mail showed Chloe picking up Bodhi while James spoke to the police after the crash.
Chloe’s Instagram video offered a humorous caption, saying: “Perfectly normal s*** to do with your ex after everyone has gone to bed.” This, paired with her witty tone, made it clear that despite their separation, the two have remained close and amicable. She also cheekily added, “Yea ok it’s a tad unconventional, but it’s also top-tier content so here we are.”
A Split But Not a Strained Relationship
After five years of marriage, Chloe and James split in 2023, but they’ve continued to maintain a respectful and friendly relationship, especially for the sake of their daughter. Their ability to co-parent while maintaining a positive connection has been a point of admiration for their followers, many of whom have commented on how well they seem to get along despite their separation. The couple’s video is a reflection of their maturity, as they both joke about their dynamic with no apparent tension.
In addition to the Instagram post, Chloe shared another cheeky selfie on her stories. In the snap, she’s lounging by the pool, sporting a colorful thong and sunglasses. She paired the sultry photo with a playful caption featuring lyrics from Bad Bunny’s hit Dime Baby Donde Tu Estas. The post highlighted her confidence and added a bit of spice to the cheerful, carefree vibe she was putting out, further showing she’s doing just fine post-split.
The Car Crash: A Test of Their Connection
While the funny video certainly catches attention, it’s the car crash incident that has solidified the depth of their connection. Chloe was the first to jump into action when the crash occurred, quickly heading to the scene to make sure everything was fine with James and Bodhi. The crash, which involved James’ £100,000 black Land Rover Range Rover, happened on Finchley Road in North London on March 28, 2026. Chloe arrived shortly after the accident, where James spoke with the police about the collision.
In a scene captured by photographers, Chloe could be seen helping clear out James’ car, which had been damaged in the crash, including removing items like Bodhi’s toys and a Halloween prop axe. The images of Chloe assisting in the cleanup of the car and looking after their daughter, all while James dealt with the aftermath of the incident, painted a picture of a supportive, co-parenting relationship that remains strong.
A representative from the Metropolitan Police confirmed that while the driver of the other vehicle fled the scene, James did not suffer any serious injuries. The car was removed from the roadside shortly after the incident.
The Power of Good Co-Parenting
Chloe and James have proven that even after a marriage ends, it’s still possible to maintain a solid, respectful partnership. Their ability to show up for each other in critical moments — like Chloe’s swift response to the car crash — demonstrates a mature co-parenting arrangement. The video of them having fun together, despite their split, reinforces their commitment to supporting each other and continuing a harmonious family dynamic for their daughter.
James, who has continued to date since his divorce, has also been considering his next steps in the public eye. Rumors suggest he may be appearing on Celebs Go Dating, a move which could signal his readiness to explore the dating world again after a few fleeting flings following his split with Chloe. A source close to him revealed, “James has been single since his breakup with Chloe, and his friends think he’s ready to get back into the dating game.”
Chloe’s Supportive Role as a Mom and Ex
Chloe, too, has been open about embracing her single status and the journey of self-discovery post-divorce. She has been candid about navigating the challenges of co-parenting and balancing her career. Despite the ups and downs of their marriage, Chloe continues to maintain a strong presence as a mother, showing that life after divorce can still be fulfilling and joyful.
Looking Ahead: A Bright Future for Their Family
As Chloe and James continue to navigate their lives post-split, they’ve both made it clear that their primary focus remains their daughter, Bodhi. Whether it’s the lighthearted moments shared in Instagram videos or the more serious moments, like when Chloe rushed to James’ aid, the couple proves that it’s possible to maintain a meaningful connection, even when love has faded.
Their ability to stay close as friends and co-parents is a testament to the power of maturity, mutual respect, and putting their daughter’s happiness first. Fans will undoubtedly continue to support them, as they demonstrate the beauty of maintaining a positive bond after the end of a relationship. As they share moments of joy, laughter, and love for their daughter, Chloe and James offer a refreshing example of what healthy, post-divorce co-parenting can look like.
