Chloe Madeley shares clip of her newborn daughter Bodhi
James Haskell is enjoying some daddy-daughter time this weekend.
Born less than two weeks ago, the former rugby star welcomed his first child with TV personality Chloe Madeley just days ago.
“Saturdays are different,” James posted on Instagram, sharing an adorable picture cradling his little girl named Bodhi Rae.
“What a picture that is,” replied the 37-year-old’s football star pal John Terry.
The snap shows shirtless James, surrounded by pillows, enjoying fatherhood as he smiles for the camera, with his daughter’s dummy in hand.
Chloe, who is the daughter of TV’s Richard Madley and Judy Finnigan, gave birth last Wednesday (August 10) – but admitted not everything went to plan.

“Forever grateful that even though my childbirth did not go to plan,” she wrote on Instagram. “I was surrounded by compassionate, skilled, knowledgeable and experienced women from start to finish.
“Here is my deepest, most heartfelt thank you to all the midwives out there who pull long shifts, have to make difficult decisions under pressure, have seen a hell of a lot of good and bad, and exercise compassion and reassurance every single day for those under their care.”
James previously wrote on his Instagram: “Welcome to the world my beautiful daughter Bodhi Rae Georgia Haskell. Yes I cried like a baby when she came out.
“I knew love but not like this! I finally understand what people have been banging on about when they talk about having children.

“To my mega wife @madeleychloe you have given me the best gift anyone could ever ask for.
“You were a proper machine during this period and are a natural born mum. To be fair you have had a lot of experience looking after me.”
He added: “Watching you with Bodhi is the best thing. You are already amazing. I love you”
Chloe has also joked that despite almost ‘firing’ husband James Haskell as her birth partner, she couldn’t have wished for anyone better to be by her side as she gave birth to their baby daughter last Wednesday.
She added: “A love that escapes all words, and the best thing that has ever happened to me.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart @jameshaskell for going on this adventure with me. I’ve never been happier. I love you.”

Baby Bodhi was shown lovingly wrapped in a blanket – while fans and followers were quick to share words of congratulations in response to the post.
One typed: “Oh my god. She’s too cute. Congrats!”
While the name of the baby proved to be a hit with many fans and followers who were quick to share their thoughts and opinions with Chloe via Instagram.
One follower wrote in the comments section: “What an absolute beauty… congratulations to you both she’s adorable.”
And another wrote: “Bodhi you have no idea how much you lucked out with the parents you got!”
