CHLOE Madeley has been pictured for the first time since it emerged her marriage was over after five years.
The Sun told how the 36-year-old and James Haskell, 38, had secretly spit in September, just 13 months after the birth of their daughter, Bodhi.

Chloe, who has been without her wedding ring in recent weeks, was seen looking downcast with a hood over her hair.
The mum-of-one clutched a drink in her hand and looked like she was headed to a work out.
Her appearance comes as the couple released a joint statement and Chloe said: “James 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.

“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.”
James later shared the post online and 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.”
The Sun revealed that Chloe and James, who met over Instagram, both removed their wedding rings six weeks ago – contrary to reports they’d rowed after James, 38, was seen chatting to a woman outside London’s Chiltern Firehouse.
Pictures emerged of the ex-Wasps star talking to PR boss Maxine Bridge at 1.30am.
But friends of the couple insist this was not the cause of their split.
A source said: “Chloe and James have been fighting for a long time to make a go of their marriage.
“Having a young baby, and James being away so often would take a toll on anyone. But some of James’s behaviour was upsetting, and he knows that.
“The pair made the incredibly hard decision to call time so that they could focus on their daughter and being the best possible parents. “Things are completely civil between them, and they shall remain friends. Bodhi is their number one priority.”
News of their split follows weeks of frenzied speculation that the couple were in trouble and fans spotted a number of signs it was over.
