Chloe Madeley and James Haskell have put on a united front after confirming their split last month.
The pair announced they had separated back in September, and said they will be co-parenting their 15-month-old daughter Bodhi going forward.
Chloe, 36, who is the daughter of broadcasters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, and ex-rugby player James, 38, tied the knot in 2018.
But after five years of marriage, they confirmed their separation, describing it as a mutual decision.
Now, the pair are spending quality time with little Bodhi together, as Chloe photographed the tot on James’ shoulders as they enjoyed a stroll.
Captioning the photo, Chloe wrote, ‘Best Daddy,’ as she tagged the former rugby union player in the sweet snap.

The former couple had filmed an ITV reality show prior to their split – Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair – and they had hoped to delay the announcement until after it had finished airing.
But taking to social media with the news prematurely, the pair released a joint statement, which read: ‘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.’

Alongside the statement James also typed: ‘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.’
Last weekend it was reported that despite the split James was ‘still living at the family home in Hampstead,’ according to a source who spoke Mail Online.
Viewers noticed something could be amiss between the couple in an episode of their reality TV show, in which Chloe fumed at James for posting pictures with ‘girls in thongs’.
After seeing the pictures he’d posted, she said: ‘Such a little **** last night on Instagram, uploading videos and photos of all these girls and I was like, “I will kill you, I will fly to Ibiza and kill you”.
‘He posted videos of him with loads of girls in thongs having the best time ever because he thinks that it makes him look cool on social media.
‘And I’m like you’re a k**b and you make me look like a k**b. Stop doing it.’
Rumours whirred when Chloe was then seen out and about with her TV presenter dad without her wedding ring.
James was also spotted chatting to a girl outside the celebrity spot The Chiltern Firehouse on October 13.
The pair wed in an intimate ceremony on December 16, 2018, which Chloe previously told Hello! was ‘incredible’ and something she’d ‘dreamt of since [she] was a little girl’.
Of their wedding day, James said: ‘I have never been more happy.’
