Chloe Madeley and James Haskell's 18-month old daughter Bodhi has been hospitalised.
Chloe confirmed the news on social media over the weekend, sharing a photo of herself cradling her daughter in a hospital bed and noted that Bodhi needed treatment for a respiratory issue.
Alongside a black-and-white photo of herself and her daughter, doting mum Chloe, 36, told her Instagram followers: “Bodhi absolutely fine now FYI, she had croup, scary and distressing but dealt with swiftly.”
Mum-of-one Chloe also shared images of her little girl tucking into a packet of crisps, writing: “Long night but she's thrilled about vending machine Quavers for breakfast.”
James Haskell reveals furious Boxing Day bust up with Richard MadeleyAccording to the NHS, croup "is a common condition that mainly affects babies' and young children's airways". The website notes symptoms as: "A barking cough – this may sound like a seal (you can search online to hear examples), a hoarse voice, difficulty breathing and a high pitched, rasping sound when breathing in."
While they are both doting parents to Bodhi, Chloe and 38-year-old rugby star James’ relationship crumbled in September. The pair, who tied the knot in 2018, did reunite for Christmas and Chloe - who is the daughter of broadcaster Richard Madeley - insists the two still co-parent "really well" and and feel comfortable with the situation.
Appearing on Loose Women last month, Chloe opened up about the difficult few months she has endured but said spending the festive period together was wonderful for Bodhi.
"I've got my space and he's got his space and he'll come back a few nights a week and see Bodhi. He'll be hands-on dad and I'll sleep and then two days later off he goes - perfect. But I think he should be moving out in the next few weeks," Chloe said.
"It's all for Bodhi, it's not about James. He's got this new place and I'm going to move in for a week with Bodhi so she can settle in and know the environment and understand that she's safe and we're all there for her."
Addressing the end of her marriage, she said: "I always say this. If you think of a relationship, you have pillars in place that keep the relationship up, whether that's respect or kind of affection or trust and all these things. And all of our pillars - over time, it didn't just happen - over time, they kind of disintegrated. I think when that happens, there is no rebuilding.
“But we're great friends. He's the most incredible dad... Since we parted ways, our relationship has become very respectful. We love each other as friends, but we lost the ability for it to be more."
Chloe also explained that she is glad her soon-to-be ex-husband has jobs that keep him out of the house. She said: "One of the things that was quite hard over the summer was how often he is away DJing, like five nights a week. But actually how ironic that now it just completely works in my favour."
