About: Ultimately, their marriage couldn’t be saved when the couple announced this weekend that they had decided to go their separate ways

She recently overhauled her clothing wardrobe, which consists mainly of sportswear, and in recent days she showed off her toned legs in thigh-high boots.

It comes as scenes from her ITVBe reality show saw former rugby player James say Chloe ‘lied’ about her once dressing up for a date, but added she was ‘always dressed s***ty’ when he wasn’t there .

After news of their split broke, Chloe stepped out in vinyl boots and a baggy hoodie with a fresh tan and makeup.

The choice of high-heeled shoes proved no problem for the television personality as she walked down the street with daughter Bodhi, 14 months, in her arms.

Chloe and James, who married in 2018, had sparked speculation about their relationship after the personal trainer emerged without her wedding ring while partying with friends – shortly after the former rugby player was pictured chatting to a mystery blonde outside a nightclub in London.

In a joint update shared on Instagram, they announced: “Chloe and I have mutually decided to separate at the end of September 2023.

‘We had no intention of releasing a statement at the time – especially while the television show was airing – but the continued speculation about our marriage has unfortunately forced our hand.

“Other than this statement, we will not speak publicly about this matter and would like to request privacy at this time.

‘Our sole focus now is on our beautiful daughter. We will continue to co-parent with nothing but love.”

Since the split, James has been spending time with Mike and his wife Zara at the Rugby World Cup in France.

The former I’m A Celebrity contestant documented the journey on his Instagram page as he moved on from his split.
