Following his separation from Chloe, former England rugby union player James has sparked romance rumours. The sports star is reportedly seeing advertising executive Helen Barclay, 34. it's rumoured their union has been heating up over the past months after initially striking a connection over a year ago.

Insiders claim the pair have been spotted on countless dates and spending time at each other's pads. Recently, the two were seen getting close at high-end Knightsbridge restaurant Clap during a romantic dinner. Following the reports emerging over the weekend, Chloe has since returned to posting on social media.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the mum-of-one shared a snap of herself posing with the daughter she shares with ex James. Captioning the sweet image of herself and baby Bodhi, two, Chloe told her 291,000 followers: "My 2025 is all about this:" Returning to her Instagram Stories on Monday, Chloe shared another picture of herself and Bodhi about to set off on a car journey.

Amid the speculation he is in a new relationship, James has not shied away from leaving flirty comments on mum-of-two Helen's Instagram snaps, calling her "fit". Snaps captured by Mail Online show James and Helen in what appears to be an intimate setting as they made the most of their meal out.

An inside source spilled the beans that both James and Helen developed their relationship whilst navigating through their respective marital breakups. While the world knew about James' split, Helen was quietly moving on from her husband of two years, whom she was with for over ten years.

A confidant shared with the outlet: "James and Helen have kept their relationship relatively low-key, enjoying dates at coffee shops and restaurants, and going for walks since the latter end of 2023. But recently they've started to see more of each other and they're enjoying each other's company. They haven't said they're exclusive yet but they're certainly dating."

According to the insider, the pair share many similarities and have been a source of comfort for each other during a challenging time. They were first spotted together in March last year. As their relationship blossoms, the source claims they're taking things easy, but notes that they're "exactly what they both need right now".

James and Chloe officially split in October 2023 after a five-year marriage and over a decade together. Speaking on Olivia Attwood's So Wrong It's Right podcast last October, Chloe revealed what led her to end their long-standing romance. She told the former Love Island star: "I'm one of those people that needs structure and routine.

"My ex, and I, I think, one of the reasons things became so hard for us was because he thrives in chaos. His schedule, I don't even remember when he was in England for a full week. He's all over the place and I just can't do that. Can't live like that. I think I knew that I was really unhappy,' she added. "And I think he knew that he was really unhappy too. But I don't think either of us ever would have predicted that we were going to break up. Ever."
