James Haskell has spoken candidly about his experience with ADHD in a new interview, admitting that while he it is his "superpower" it also can be "destructive".<\/p>\n

The former rugby player, 38, opened up on the newest episode of The Rethinking ADHD Podcast<\/span>, which was recorded prior to his split from wife Chloe Madeley, 36, and spoke about how the condition has impacted his life and career. <\/p>\n

James, who was diagnosed with ADHD during childhood, told host Simon Mundle: "My ADHD has been my superpower. My mind works at a million miles an hour\u2026I've written seven books, released eight tracks, DJ, run a podcast, write speeches. It also gets me in trouble, I've got a bit of a destructive personality, I speak before I think."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

James, who shares one year old daughter Bodhi with Chloe, went on to say he thinks he is "more sensitive" than he likes to let on and he believes "self-awareness" is extremely important.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the podcast, he spoke about becoming a father last year and his mental health, describing his home life as "tricky" after Bodhi's birth. <\/span><\/p>\n

"I had a moment the other day where I'd been talking to people about taking care of their mental health. And I was going through some stuff, I was a new dad and I was very busy and I was probably doing too much, and stuff at home was tricky,<\/span> and I hadn't spoken to a therapist for three months and I was like, go and do it," James said. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

James' candid chat comes after he and Chloe parted ways after five years of marriage and nearly a decade as a couple. The pair shared the sad news in a statement shared on social media after weeks of speculation. <\/p>\n

The statement read: \u201cChloe and I mutually decided to 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.<\/p>\n

"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."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The former couple appear to be on good terms however, as they have reunited on several occasions since announcing their split. Chloe called James the \u201cbest daddy\u201d when they went out for a family walk earlier this week, and they also enjoyed a 'tea date' with Bodhi on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
