Chloe Madeley is set to jet off on holiday with her estranged husband James Haskell, her father Richard has revealed.
The couple – who share two-year-old Bodhi together – confirmed they had split in a joint statement released in October last year, after tying the knot in 2018.
But Richard, 68, has revealed that despite the end of their marriage, Chloe, 37, and James, 39, are in a ‘very happy uncoupling’ and said he has staying on friendly terms with his former son-in-law.
He told The Sun: ‘Chloe is very happy, she and James are going to France together, they have a very happy uncoupling.
‘It’s a very civilised relationship – we see a lot of James, he’s at the house quite a lot, either with Chloe or without.’

‘I go for a drink with him from time to time. It’s all good. It’s a very civilised divorce. The co-parenting is going really well.’
It comes after Chloe opened up on the difficulties of navigating co-parenting with her ex-husband James Haskell.
Last month, she revealed to Closer Magazine that they do not always agree on parenting styles and get into arguments over their differing opinions.
She admitted: ‘We have always found a way to do it but it’s not always great. We have really hard times with it sometimes.
‘We also still argue- there is no denying that and it will probably be this way forever.’
Chloe went onto insist however, that no matter how hard it may get between them, they have agreed not to weaponise Bodhi or use her as a bargaining tool.
And despite their ‘tricky’ episodes, she added that there are days were they can be ‘very good friends’.
Chloe revealed in January that the former rugby player, 39, finally moving out of their home.

The couple – who share two-year-old Bodhi together – confirmed they had split in a joint statement released in October last year, after tying the knot in 2018
‘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.
‘Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time.
‘Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.’
Sharing his own statement to Instagram, James added: ‘It’s with a lot of sadness I write this post, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, it has to be done.

‘My priority is my daughter’s and Chloe’s happiness and security. For that reason, I won’t be commenting any further.’
They first fuelled split speculation earlier that autumn, after Chloe was spotted without her wedding ring while partying with friends – shortly after James was pictured chatting to a mystery blonde outside a London nightspot.
In May, Chloe opened up about how her separation from her estranged husband ‘was f***ing awful’ as she gave an insight into the break down of their relationship.
She admitted the pair broke up as they both wanted their relationship to ‘stop being awful’ and ‘miserable’.
The couple still live together in their north London home and are often spotted together with Bodhi as they try to make the break-up as amicable as they can for their little girl.
But despite their friendliness causing some fans to think they’ll get back together, Chloe insisted that they have both moved on from their marriage.
She added that she expects the former England player to find someone soon.
She said: ‘It’ll probably happen for James long before it happens to me, if it hasn’t already. I’m waiting for the conversation to happen at some point.’
