Overview
- James Haskell told listeners on the No Parental Guidance podcast that he approached Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan after his split from their daughter to say they remain important grandparents and that he would never have “any beef” with them.
- He recounted a light‑hearted early moment when he woke to see a photo of Richard on the wall and assumed it was a kinky sign before Chloe told him it was her father.
- Haskell stressed he will not air the reasons for his 2023 separation from Chloe Madeley and described their co‑parenting of daughter Bodhi as constructive and child‑centred.
- Earlier reporting quotes Chloe saying the months before the breakup were “incredibly scary” and that the split felt like the “worst breakup imaginable,” underlining the emotional toll behind the public statements.
- Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan’s long public profile has drawn media attention to the family but Haskell’s recent remarks aim to keep focus on shared parenting and private resolution rather than public dispute.
