James Haskell pictured partying in Ibiza with DJ lookalike of wife Chloe Madeley weeks before marriage split
JAMES Haskell partied in Ibiza before his marriage split with a DJ lookalike of his wife — named Chloe, just like her.
The ex-England rugby World Cup star, 38, shared a booth with Chloe McLennan at Ibiza’s Ocean Beach club during a number of sets through the summer.
Last weekend he and Chloe Madeley announced they were separating after five years of marriage — with his wife telling how they argued over him posting Instagram pics from Ibiza “of other girls’ asses”.
A source said: “James and Chloe got to know each other on the DJ circuit in Ibiza.
“It’s a small world and everyone is really friendly.
“She has shared some advice on the industry and they have hung out on the party isle.
“It’s no secret that James’ new career choice took its toll on his relationship and caused arguments at home.
“He was away a lot, forging his new brand, while she was in the UK being a mum to their 13-month-old daughter.”
Northern Ireland-born McLennan, known as DJ Loeca, opened for Haskell and introduced him to revellers in May.
The 36-year-old dated singer Gareth Gates for two years before they broke up last December.
Ironically ITVBe show, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair, kicked off last month.
It documents the ups and downs of marriage and her first year of motherhood.
Chloe admitted: “One of the biggest rows we’ve ever had was on camera.
“It happened when he was in Ibiza and posted photos on Instagram of other girls’ asses.
“My argument was, ‘I don’t mind that that’s your job, but I don’t want you putting it on social media when everyone knows I’m your wife’.”
The couple confirmed in a statement they had “mutually decided” to part at the end of September.
It added: “Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter Bodhi.
“We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.”
The Sun approached representatives of Chloe McLennan and James for comment.
