The star has revealed that there were moments when she wondered ‘Are we ever going to come out the other side of this?’ as they battled with sleepless nights and extreme tiredness.
Discussing her marriage with Bella magazine, the personal trainer admitted she feels she has managed to save her marriage and the couple are now getting back on track.

She confessed that becoming a mum has taught her so much about herself: ‘I’ve learned that I am a hell of a lot more capable than I thought.’
Being a mum is by no means an easy feet, however Chloe admits is has made her feel like a much stronger woman.
The mother recently celebrated her daughter’s first birthday as she uploaded a sweet compilation video to Instagram.
She shared a collection of memories, from pregnancy to birth and sweet moments as a family from the last year.
Captioning the post she wrote: ‘My baby girl is 1. I have a baby girl. And she is 1 year old. Sentences that still feel alien to me, but the last year has been a journey and a meaning I never could have imagined for myself.
‘I never knew what it would feel like, and it feels like a crashing wave of pure, undiluted love on my soul and on my life, and I can’t lie, with that has come A LOT of fear’
She went on to gush: ‘Oh Bodhi, what did we do to get so lucky? You are the happiest, smiliest, friendliest, most affectionate, adventurous, independent, funny, sweet natured bulldozer of a character.
‘I am SO proud of you, your smile, your laugh, your stupid walk and your ridiculous teeth. Your crazy hair and your mental scream. The way you let me carry, cuddle, sing and dance around the kitchen with you every morning and you go into some weird trance and stare blankly ahead, not letting me put you down even when daddy tries to temp you away with a football or a cheerio.
‘You are my core, my heart, my anchor, my reason, my everything. I love you. So much. I hope one day you read this, and I hope you feel immensely, overwhelmingly loved. I hope you feel loved every day of your life. Because you are. I love you. To the ends of the earth and back. More than anything or anyone. It’s you and me. Always forever.’

The fitness fanatic hit back at mum-shamers last month as she refused to ‘take the high ground and stay quiet’ when faced with online criticism.
Chloe detailed the the importance of ‘speaking out’ when being criticised online and defending herself against trolls.
Talking to The Sun she admitted: ”I’m not a big believer that you should take the high ground and stay quiet.
‘I think it’s important to set an example to other people who are reading my stuff or watching my stuff, that it’s okay to stick up for yourself and it doesn’t make you a weak person, sometimes it makes you a strong, capable and self-aware person.
‘You do realise that people might watch this and be like “why isn’t she strapping her in?” Things like that play on your mind and you think “oh god, are people going to pick up on that? Are people going to criticise that?”‘
