As James Haskell sparks romance rumours with a stunning new woman following his split from Chloe Madeley in late 2023, it must be leaving the fitness guru with some mixed feelings. Sports star-turned-DJ James, 39, who co-parents his and Chloe’s daughter, Bodhi, is reportedly dating glamorous blonde advertising executive Helen Barclay, 34 - who is recently divorced and strikes more than a passing resemblance to his famous ex.
It’s thought their relationship had been heating up over recent months and they were spotted last week enjoying a dinner in Knightsbridge after the pair first met over a year ago, with reports that the pair have enjoyed several cosy dates and spent lots of time at each other’s homes. Now a source tells that, understandably, it was a lot for Chloe to take in at first, reports OK!.
“She was a bit shocked at first that James had moved on so quickly. She doesn’t want to be with James or to go back at all, she is over it, but it was a bit of a kick in the teeth for Chloe to see them together at first.”. Despite her initial reaction to James’ new relationship, the source goes on to maintain that Chloe, 37, knows that ultimately, this could be a good thing for everyone- and is happy for her ex-partner. “She wishes James well and knows that if he’s happy, then he’ll be the best father he can be, so that’s all she wants. She wants James to be there for Bodhi and knows that he will do that best when he’s in a good place, so she’s hoping this relationship will settle him down.”.
