James Haskell is every inch the doting dad as he spend some quality time with his daughter Bodhi, 22 months, while out in Hampstead

James Haskell was out with his daughter Bodhi as they enjoyed a walk in Hampstead this weekend.

The former rugby player, 39, looked every bit the doting dad as he enjoyed some quality time with his little one, who is 22 months old.

The athlete wore a black T-shirt and dusty blue sweatpants with a pair of white sneakers as he held the toddler’s hand.

Bodhi appeared to be enjoying her daily outing with a lollipop, while James carried a small backpack in the other hand.

The retired athlete shares Bodhi with his estranged wife Chloe Madeley when the couple announced their separation in October 2023 after ten years together and five years of marriage.

The personal trainer, 36, has told how her split from James was ‘bloody awful’ as she gave an insight into their relationship last month.

Chloe admitted that the couple split because they both wanted their relationship to “stop being horrible” and “miserable.”

She said okay! Magazine: ‘I’m never going to go into detail about why we broke up because it’s not fair to anyone and I wouldn’t want him to, but what I will say is that it was fucking awful.

“Part of the reason we wanted to end it was because we wanted it to stop being horrible, so why would we carry that into a breakup and it would still be horrible? It was difficult at first. You have to work at it, like everything in life, and we really did that.’

The daughter of TV stars Richard and Judy admitted that she fell into situational depression after the breakup and that she “couldn’t” even respond to friends’ messages because she was unable to do “any self-care” for herself .

She added: ‘I’ve never actually had depression. Obviously it was very indirect, so I didn’t realize that when people say, “I can’t do something,” you actually just can’t do it. Friends would say, “Come over and have dinner,” but I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t even respond to emails. Other than taking care of Bodhi, I didn’t really do any self-care.”

The couple, who split nine months ago, still live together in their north London home, but Chloe revealed the couple have now set a July date for James to move out.

Chloe went on to reveal that she would like to meet a new partner in the future, but has completely ruled out using ‘dating apps’.

It comes after Chloe spoke about their reality show Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair, which opened the doors to their family home shortly before the split.

During an appearance on Loose Women, she said: ‘There’s a lot going on behind closed doors that wasn’t on the show, but it’s amazing how many people have picked up on it.

“We thought we did a good job, but apparently not.”

Reflecting on their divorce, she added: “I think there are pillars that keep a relationship going, like love and respect.

“Over time, all our pillars fell apart and when that happens, there is no way to save it. We get along better now that we’re no longer together romantically.

‘Since we broke up, our relationship has become very respectful and we love each other as friends.

“One of the things that was hard was that he was away DJing so much four or five nights a week, but that works for us now because I have my alone time and then he comes back and has his time with Bodhi.

‘I’m happier now than ever and he’s happy too. There were horrible weeks where I struggled to get out of bed, but once I drew a line, I was fine.

“I want James to be happy, I want Bodhi to be happy and I want to be happy.”
