After weeks of hints and speculation, Chloe Madeley and James Haskell confirmed they have called time on their five-year marriage \u2013 vowing to co-parent and focus on their daughter Bodhi.<\/p>\n

With the news coming after the couple let the cameras in for new reality show, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair , it\u2019s clear that tension was brewing during recent months and was heightened by working together. <\/p>\n

Delving into the cause of their break-up, a source who spoke to OK!<\/b> claimed Chloe and James\u2019 extreme bickering wore them down and left Chloe feeling that she had \u201chad enough\u201d, while relationship expert Callisto Adams claimed things had turned \u201ctoxic\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir constant arguments took a toll on their marriage and got worse when filming the show. It brought them stress as they were unable to escape the public eye,\u201d claimed the source. \u201cThey found it more stressful than ever and being filmed didn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cracks in their marriage were also shown on-screen on their reality show. During the final episode, James, 38, even said Chloe, 36, \u201ctreats him like a dog\u201d.<\/p>\n

As Chloe attempted to work, she was seen shushing her husband while he spoke, telling the camera, \u201cIf James is contributing anything of value, I wouldn\u2019t shush him but he\u2019s contributing s**t banter on a work call that isn\u2019t appropriate and he needs to pipe down!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As he stormed out of the room James snapped, \u201cShe shushes me like I\u2019m a dog or like I\u2019m a baby. I\u2019m like, \u2018Shush me again and that\u2019s the last thing you\u2019ll ever do.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysing their relationship, expert Callisto told us, \u201cTheir split could have happened as a result of their constant arguments, not being on the same page and always going back to each other but never asking for forgiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, that resulted in a massive split that I think can be considered toxic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple married in 2018 and had daughter Bodhi in August 2022, but have since been struggling to find a balance. It\u2019s no secret they have differing lifestyles, with James focusing on his DJ career since leaving professional rugby \u2013 meaning he is often on party islands and away from the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was always away, DJing in Ibiza and then the story emerged of him pictured with a blonde \u2013 it was just one thing after another,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

James was also recently spotted with a woman on a night out, adding speculation that James\u2019 partying was one of the catalysts for their split. Chloe has shared her frustration at James\u2019 behaviour and detailed their \u201cbiggest row ever\u201d, which was over James posting pictures with bikini-clad girls and was caught on camera for their reality show.<\/p>\n

She recalled her argument with James. \u201cHe was in Ibiza and posted photos of other girls\u2019 asses,\u201d she said. \u201cMy argument was, \u2018I don\u2019t mind that that is your job but I don\u2019t want you putting it on social media when everyone knows I\u2019m your wife.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding their communication style, expert Callisto claimed it was not a healthy one. \u201cThe way they interact with each other is the blind leading the blind,\u201d said Callisto. \u201cYes, they talk, but they do not appear to move past the problems. In my opinion, they see the small problem, not the bigger picture and this has caused their relationship damage, leading to, I think an anticipated split.\u201d <\/p>\n

The pair confirmed their split in a joint statement where they said they had \u201cmutually decided to split at the end of September\u201d. They went on to write, \u201cOur sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The news didn\u2019t come as a total surprise \u2013 having both been spotted without their wedding rings on multiple solo nights out.<\/p>\n

Chloe, who is the daughter of presenting duo Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan will no doubt be leaning on her family during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s so close to them and they\u2019re deeply upset about all of this too,\u201d the source claimed. \u201cThey\u2019ve had a very strong marriage and wanted the same for Chloe. They adore James but they want to see their daughter happy and they could see cracks appearing for a long time.\u201d <\/p>\n

As Chloe and James work to co-parent, it\u2019s clear there\u2019s no turning back as our source said, \u201cChloe has had enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
