Chloe Madeley admits last year of marriage to James Haskell was ‘dark’
Speaking to The Sun, Chloe, 37, said: “When you tell people that you are divorcing, everyone sees it as such a negative thing.
The last year of the marriage was awful. It was so dark, painful, and one of the worst periods of my life.
“They say: ‘This is going to be so hard for you.’ And, yes, it is, but the hardest bit was when we were married. The last year of the marriage was awful. It was so dark, painful, and one of the worst periods of my life. It’s a good thing we ended it.
“It was so incredibly scary, especially when you’ve been with someone for 11 years and you have a child together. I’m amazed I got through it in the way that I did. I think more people should see it as a positive thing. I’m so proud of myself and so relieved that I actually called it a day.”
