The couple, who wed in 2018, announced that they were expecting a baby in February with James sharing the joyous news on Good Morning Britain alongside his father-in-law, presenter Richard Madeley. Chloe also shared the happy news in an Instagram post by sharing a video montage that featured pictures from ultrasound scans and selfies during her pregnancy up to that point.
