James Haskell shows off the results of his hair transplant after split from Chloe Madeley as he steps out in London

JAMES Haskell stepped out in London to grab a coffee this weekend – and to show off his brand new hairline. 

The former England rugby star, 39, was spotted running errands in north London today, just over a month since he underwent a “preventative procedure” to improve hair growth.

After expressing an interest in “getting it sorted” James revealed during a DJ appearance he had been offered the free treatment at London’s Restore Hair Clinic. 

Today, as he talked animatedly on the phone, James was shown his first look at his regrowth, weeks after shaving his entire head for the procedure to take place. 

At the moment, it is still growing slowly but surely, with the top of his head showing more growth than the back, and with his hairline noticeably straighter and further forward on his forehead. 

Despite the less-than-pleasant British weather, James donned a pair of shorts for his coffee run, though wrapped up in a green hoodie.

The hair transformation comes a year after his shock split from Chloe Madeley after five years of marriage.

The pair announced the end of their marriage in October 2023, but together they remain dedicated to co-parenting their two-year-old daughter, Bodhi.

While they're no longer an item, the pair remain on good terms and are even still living together as they co-parent their daughter, one-year-old Bodhi.

Chloe has maintained a friendship with James, with the couple continuing to live together despite their break-up and even going on holiday together.

She also urged others not to be mean to him, telling The Sun on Sunday in August: “There’s kind of like a heavy insinuation that he’s not a nice guy.

“And look, James and I went through our battles.

"But we’re co-parenting really well, and 50 per cent of that accolade is on him.“I want him to have some of that respect from people, which I don’t see him getting.”

James has faced criticism for being “disrespectful” to Chloe, most recently last month when he shared a clip of ­scantily clad women dancing while DJing in Ibiza. 

But Chloe shut down any hatred and said: “I honestly think James and I are doing a ­fantastic job and I’m very proud of us both.”

The ex-model, the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan, first got together with James in 2015, with them marrying in 2018 and welcoming Bodhi in 2022. 

But Chloe admitted their relationship became strained and said: “It got to a point where it was completely miserable. It was bleak. And very hard.

“Going through a break-up is tough, but compared to staying in that ­situation, it was absolutely the right decision. James and I both feel a million times better for it.”
