Chloe Madeley has spoken out about her ex James Haskell after he took a furious swipe at her following rumours that they have reunited after they split earlier in the year.
Questions have been asked by fans as to whether Chloe, who is the daughter of TV presenter Richard Madeley, had got back together with James but she has now put to bed any thoughts that this is the case.
When they split, the couple put out a joint statement which read: "James and I mutually decided to 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."

Taking to Instagram, she posted on her Story an answer from a fan as to whether she was planning to be with James again.

In the Q&A on the social media site, one fan asked: "Are you and James back together? I hope so..." The reply was short, though polite, as Chloe hopefully drew a line under the persistent speculation.
Chloe wrote: "No. We are friends and co-parents. I'd appreciate it if this could believed and accepted going forward."
The comment comes after James hit out about the end of their marriage, blaming photographers he had encountered for the reason why they have split. In the furious exchange, former rugby star James waved to them and said: You ended my marriage."
It seems that James is moving on, as he was caught liking pictures of other women online. He was seen liking photos of Instagram models and influencers, including fitness guru Mariana Morais and entrepreneur Carolina Aldrovandi. James has also started following bikini model Maddy Cheary.
The couple, who share one year old daughter Bodhi, faced speculation for months about their relationship before they revealed news of the split on social media, though this hasn't quelled speculation as they hoped before Chloe's answer.
