James Haskell and Chloe Madeley have announced the end of their marriage after weeks of speculation that their relationship was on the rocks.
The daughter of television presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan has issued a statement confirming she split up with her husband at the end of September after being snapped without her wedding ring over the past few weeks.
Their separation comes as their new ITV reality TV show airs with the first episode of the four-part series being released on October 9.
Both Chloe and James, who share their one-year-old daughter Bodhi together, have ditched their wedding rings in recent weeks, the Mirror reports.
Further speculation was fuelled by James after he was spotted cosying up with a mystery blonde woman earlier this month outside a hotel in London who turned out to be a PR advisor.
Speaking in her statement, the 36-year-old said she hadn't planned to announce her split from James while her family-focussed reality TV show is airing but the rumours about the state of their marriage had forced them to go public with their separation.
Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair is a four-part ITV reality TV series that follows James and Chloe's life as first-time parents to their baby girl with cameos from Chloe's famous mum and dad, and is set to premiere on Monday October 30.
Chloe's statement shared with The Sun reads: "James and I mutually decided to separate at the end of September, 2023.
