James Haskell recently revealed that his ex-wife, Chloe Madeley, had been "groped" by a well-known rugby player while they were out together. The former couple, who were together for over 10 years and married for five, announced their separation in October 2023. Although they have not publicly disclosed the reasons for their split, Haskell shared some details about their marriage and a troubling incident that occurred during a night out in London.
In his new book, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, the 39-year-old ex-England flanker opened up about the incident, revealing that Madeley was "groped" by a well-known rugby player while another player made drunken advances towards her. Haskell did not name the players involved, but he did mention that one of them had previously propositioned Madeley while he was DJ'ing just a few feet away. The other player was allegedly groping her.
The Sun reported that the incident happened at a club while the former couple was out together. According to a source who was present at the time, Madeley was the only woman there and she was shocked but didn't make a big deal out of it. The two left the club shortly after. Haskell, who played for England in the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups, did not explicitly name the players in his book, which he co-wrote with Mike Tindall and Alex Payne.
Madeley, who is the daughter of Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley and former This Morning star Judy Finnigan, has yet to address the allegations. The former couple shares a two-year-old daughter, Bohdi, and first began dating in 2015 before getting married in 2018. However, their marriage seemed to have hit a rough patch after welcoming their daughter in August 2022. They separated just over a year later but continued to live together until this summer.
During an appearance on Loose Women in January, Madeley spoke about their split for the first time and had nothing but kind words for her estranged husband. She admitted that they get along better now that they're not romantically involved and that they remain close friends. Madeley also mentioned that she is happier now than she has ever been and that she wishes people would stop painting their relationship in a negative light.
The former couple continue to co-parent and remain close friends. Madeley is also focused on her fitness career and often shares her workout routines on social media. Meanwhile, Haskell is pursuing his own ventures, including writing and podcasting. Metro has reached out to both Madeley and Haskell's representatives for comment.
