JAMES Haskell was spotted saying a fond farewell to a mystery blonde with a kiss on the cheek following a night out.
It came after the former rugby player, 38, confirmed his split with wife Chloe Madeley, 36, in an emotional Instagram statement.
The couple – who married in 2018 and share daughter Bodhi – first sparked break-up rumours when PT Chloe stepped out band-free on a night out in London.
Their statement told how they separated in September.
New images exclusive to The Sun now show James planting a kiss on a mystery blonde’s cheek.
Wearing a black hoodie, he gives a female in a green coat a big hug before they enjoy a bit of banter.
She is seen pushing the sports star away and giggling before exiting the London Palladium.
James was in the venue in the UK capital as part of his tour with rugby ace Mike Tindall.
The star looked in high spirits, putting his focus into work following the breakdown of his marriage.
Last month, The Sun exclusively revealed how Chloe had ditched her wedding ring when James was spotted chatting to a different mystery blonde.
It has since been revealed that the woman is a high-society PR director called Martine Bridge, 39, who he has known for years.
At the time, a pal revealed: “Chloe wanted a night out to let her hair down with her mates. She really showed James what he was missing in her revealing outfit.”
Another source added of Chloe: “She was slightly annoyed and upset over the pictures of James and the other woman.”
Shortly after, Chloe filled her social media with a slew of cryptic comments – including stating how she feels “lucky” in her current state.
It came at the same time as scenes showed Chloe branding her spouse a k***head after he shared clips of women in bikinis to Instagram.
After viewing her husband’s social media clips, Chloe raged: “He’s 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.”
Shortly afterwards, the pair released their identical Instagram statements addressing their split.
In a joint statement, Chloe said: “James and I mutually decided separate at the end of September, 2023.
“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.”
Since then, James has been seen cosying up to a female fan on holiday.
