‘He was away a lot, forging his new brand, while she was in the UK being a mum to their 13-month-old daughter.’

MailOnline has contacted a representative for James Haskell for comment. 

Chloe Madeley, 36, confirmed she had separated from James in a joint statement released last week. 

The rumours started ramping up after Chloe was seen without her wedding ring when she was out with friends so the couple decided to share the news to avoid further speculation.

In a joint update shared to Instagram, they announced: ‘Chloe and I mutually decided 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.’

The pair has recently released a new reality TV series called Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair.  

In recent scenes from their new reality show he bore the brunt of Chloe’s frustration after jetting to Ibiza for a DJ gig – where he was pictured partying with a troupe of bikini-clad dancers.

Documenting the job on social media, James was surrounded by scantily-clothed women – leaving his wife, who was back in the United Kingdom, less than impressed.

After spotting the pictures, she raged: ‘He’s on Instagram uploading videos and photos of all these girls, and I was like, ‘I will kill you. I will fly to Ibiza and kill you’.

‘He posted videos of him with loads of girls in thongs ‘cos he thinks that it like makes him look cool on social media. I’m like you’re a k*** and you make me look like a k***. Stop doing it.’

However, she did admit: ‘But he loves it. Honestly, at least he’s having fun. You know what I mean.’

Chloe was at home looking after their 14-month old daughter Bodhi while James was out DJing in Ibiza, which he has done since retiring from professional rugby.

She said: ‘I think there’s an element of he misses Bodhi. Not me. Definitely not me. But he actually misses Bodhi, and I think he feels a bit guilty.’ 

During a recent interview, James revealed he had ‘a few arguments’ with his wife after extending his DJing trip.

An interview on the island with the former rugby player was published earlier this month, days after he was forced to deny any wrongdoing when pictures emerged of him looking cosy with a mystery blonde while on a night out in London.

Speaking to Unfiltered, James revealed Chloe thinks his jaunts to Ibiza are a ‘holiday’ for him, and she was furious when he extended his work trip by a few days.

James admitted: ‘My wife thinks DJing in Ibiza is a holiday – it’s work. We’ve had a few arguments about it. I mean she’s very supportive, but kind of extending your trip for a few extra days is probably taking the p**s a little bit.’

The retired athlete said the trip had to be extended, explaining: ‘I have to do an interview with you guys and I’ve got a boat trip later.’

DailyMail has reached out to James’ representatives for comment.
