Unhappy richard & judy

Less than a year after they announced their split, fans suspect that Chloe Madeley and James Haskell may have rekindled their romance following a number of telling social media clues.

James recently posted a picture of himself, Chloe and their 21-month-old daughter Bodhi on Instagram with the caption ‘family’, alongside a love-heart emoji, to which one fan commented, ‘Thought you two had split up.’ While another added, ‘Stop messing about and get back together guys... you’re a great couple and parents.’ A third said, ‘It’s so easy to see the problems.

BUILDING TENSION

It seems there could have been some strain behind the scenes even before the couple split. Ex-rugby star James once recalled a Christmas where Richard told him to f**k off. James confessed, ‘I went in there and gave him a bit of chat. He used one of those ‘f’ words and I quickly went back to my wife and said, “I probably need to go,
