Chloe Madeley and James Haskell 'lacked respect and communication' expert claims

Chloe Madeley and James Haskell's "core characters" and values being so wildly different resulted in a tumultuous and unpredictable romance relationship, an expert claims.

The daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan issued a statement over the weekend confirming she parted ways with James at the end of September, after being snapped without her wedding ring on her left hand over the past few weeks. James confessed he was feeling "a lot of sadness" as he shared the same statement with his fans shortly after Chloe.

Both stars, who share baby daughter Bodhi together, have been pictured separately looking downcast and glum following the public announcement on Saturday night, with body language expert Judi James telling the Mirror that Chloe appears to be taking the split from retired rugby player James 'extremely hard' following the mum-of-one's first public outing post-announcement.

An astrology expert has now shared their theory the former couple possibly party ways due to essentially having very different core values. Michelle Bell looks at both Western and Chinese astrology to get a better understanding of people's personalities and has examined both James and Chloe post-split.

"It’s a bit complex because Chloe (Cancer Fire Hare) is quite a sensitive and feisty character. She’s hugely compassionate, but her inherent insecurities mean she can be quite defensive and not always sure of herself. Her feistiness is a pure defence mechanism," Michelle explains.

However, Chloe's ex James has very different qualities, with Michelle noting the I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is "very sure of himself and isn’t remotely sensitive. He’s a competitive person who has to be the best at everything he does. He’s the kind of person who won’t back down and will always back himself."

She continues to claim to OK! magazine that a relationship between one very confident character and one more sensitive person can be a recipe for disaster and result in a tumultuous and unpredictable romance. "There could be explosive scenes given their core characters are so different, it’s like an epic clash of personalities," Michelle adds.

Speaking to the same publication, a relationship expert adds "there was a lack of respect and communication between the two" which ultimately led to their split, issues left unresolved and allowed to fester over time. Louella Alderson claims James dismissing Chloe's concerns over him being pictured with women while DJing showed a lack of empathy on his part and possible caused Chloe to feel further resentment.

Speaking in her statement shared on Saturday night, Chloe explained how she hadn't planned to announce her separation from James – especially not while her family-focussed reality TV show is currently airing – but speculation about the state of their relationship has forced them to go public with their split.

Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair is a four-part ITV reality TV series that follows James and Chloe's life as first-time parents, with cameos from Chloe's famous mum and dad, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. Chloe and James have both been promoting their debut series together over recent weeks, despite splitting at the end of September.

Chloe's statement reads: "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."

Shortly after Chloe shared the statement on Saturday night, James later went on to post the same message on his Instagram page, captioning a screenshot of the statement: "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."
