Chloe Madeley says she had ‘hardest summer’ as she talks James Haskell split

Chloe Madeley has opened up to her fans on social media about her struggles over the last few months as she shares insight into her recent split.

The 36-year-old fitness enthusiast, who is the daughter of TV stars Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, has had a turbulent few months after it was revealed that she had split from her husband James Haskell. At the end of October, Chloe released a statement on social media to announce the end of their marriage.

The couple tied the knot in a glitzy ceremony in 2018. They later welcomed their first daughter Bodhi together in August last year before announcing they had separated in September.

Since the split, Chloe has now taken to social media to update fans of her "new chapter". Sharing a variety of images in her post, Chloe penned: "I suppose I’ll title this post 'Slowly but Surely Floating out of Depletion and Defeat.'

"This post started as an explanation as to why I stopped posting about health and fitness for so long, but ended up somewhere different…For starters, I should probably say that I still coach pretty much 7 days a week, online and PT, as well as having 2 health and fitness podcasts, so talking and writing about it is still the dominant factor of my day-to-day life and work.

"And because of the above, it would be fair to say that the idea of coming onto social media and repeating the things I’d been talking about all day/week? Well, quite frankly, it felt impossible. There’s no other word for it. It felt impossible to me."

The star also went on to share that she began to have "bad burnout". She continued: "It crept up on me very slowly, in hindsight well over a year, but by the end of August of this year, I got pretty bad burnout.

"Bodhi became my sole priority and source of joy, but beyond her, absolutely everything felt impossible. And it makes sense, because in the space of 2 years I had moved across the country, bought, refurbished and furnished my first house, been reunited with a very busy social life, had a baby by emergency c-section, returned to work 8 weeks later, filmed a reality tv show, and began separating from my husband after what was, to be totally honest, the hardest summer of both of our lives.

"I’ve had mental health battles before, being diagnosed with GAD in my early twenties, so I knew there was a problem bubbling under the surface and was quick to get myself back into therapy.

"To be honest, there is more to this story and there were a number of factors that lead me back to where I am now (and have been since the end of October), but I’ll talk about them another time. But for the first time in a very long time, I feel good again. I feel happy again. I feel strong again."

Chloe finished off her post by telling fans that she hopes it can give someone a sense of "hope". After seeing her wholesome display, fans headed to the comment section to share their support.
