Racegoers told the Sun that James, 39, and the mystery woman were seen holding hands at the track.
The pair co-parent their two-year-old daughter Bodhi and James has nothing but praise for the mother of his child.
James previously said: “Chloe is an amazing woman, extremely talented. She’s made me a much better person being with her.
“Now we’re separated.. you separate essentially because you want to make sure your daughter has the best possible life.
“I think when you have a child, you have a responsibility and everything your other wishes go out the window.
“As you grow in relationships, marriage is a really interesting thing, because a lot of people change, elements change, careers change, and you kind of, the confines of it mean that everything else grows but it doesn’t grow.
“So now the ability for us to co-parent is so important.”

SICULIANA is offering a weekend away for two people at the cost of €1.
With this scheme from the Siculiana tourist board, you can bag yourself a Sicilian getaway for less than the cost of a Mars Bar, but there are a few catches to be aware of.
AlamyYou can have a two-night break in Siculiana for just €1[/caption]
AlamyYou’ll find Siculiana on the beautiful island of Sicily[/caption]
In a bid to boost tourism to the seaside town, you can buy a three-night weekend escape for €1, which works out as 84p – for reference, a Mars Bar now costs 95p in the supermarket.
Included in the stay are accommodation, meals and guided tours.
Advertised on their website, the only cost you have to pay is the €1 – which is Sicily’s tourist tax.
But that’s not strictly true as flights are not included. From the UK, the closest airport to Siculiana is Palermo.
We found return flights through Skyscanner from the UK to Palermo from £51 with Wizz Air.
From Palermo, you have to take a taxi, or hire a car for a two hour drive.
If you still fancy the holiday, and let’s face it, this break is still a bargain, then you need to apply through the council website.
You have to go in pairs, and both participants must be 18 years and over.
To go on the experience, you have to apply with a 30 second video explaining why you and your travel partner want to participate.
The experience will take place on the weekend of April 4, 5 and 6 with an application deadline of Saturday 15 March.
AlamyThe tourist board with Siculiana will also give you guided tours of the town[/caption]
A total of 10 couples will be selected and winners will be announced by Thursday 20 March.
As detailed on their website, the experience includes a two-night stay, welcome drinks, breakfast, lunch and dinner and a drink to conclude the break by the marina.
There will also be free guided tours with a cultural itinerary among the historical places of Siculiana and activities where you’ll learn about local customs and traditions.
While on the break, you have to document your experience with a video diary your experience in Siculiana.
This needs to include highlights throughout the trip and the most significant moments of your stay.
And you must be happy with the tourist board to publish any videos and photos you take for their campaign.
As with many European destinations, they are a little quieter in the winter and so Siculiana are hoping to boost visitors all-year round.
There’s lots to do around Siculiana from exploring the beautiful coastline to exploring the Castello Chiaramonte – a castle perched on a cliff top.
For a break in April, expect the weather to hit highs of 19 degrees.
For more information on the €1, have a look at the application and details here.
The town launched the one euro homes to encourage foreign tourists and stop the depopulation of the area. Hussain said he was tempted by the cheap holiday home option after reading about the scheme back in 2019. While some of the more run down houses are the cheapest options, Hussain paid slightly more for his two-bedroom, 90sqft home.
He toldthe i: “It was a real bargain, practically an entire building for me and my family. The house was just €4,500 (£3,900) then I spent €3,000 (£2,600) to restyle it and €3,000 for the property deed and the whole paperwork, including the notary fees.”
He said overall he spent just around £9,000 – and that a similar house in the UK would cost £500k.

4 days agoNew York StateComments Off on Who is Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann?
REX Heuermann is a New York-based architect accused of a string of murders in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island.
He was arrested in July 2023 and is the prime suspect in some of the Gilgo Beach murders — Heuermann, who denies all of the charges, appeared in court briefly for a hearing on March 11, 2025.
APRex Heuermann is the suspect in a string of murders[/caption]
What are the Gilgo Beach murders?
The Gilgo Beach murders were a string of serial killings between 1993 and 2011 in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island.
Police identified at least 11 victims killed during that time, though it remains unclear if they were all murdered by the same person.
The remains of many of the victims were found within a period of months in 2010 and 2011 by police along the road Ocean Parkway.
Most of Rex Heuermann’s known victims are believed to have worked as escorts and advertised themselves on Craigslist.
“The Gilgo Four” are four of the victims found within a quarter-mile stretch of each other in December 2010.
Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist, told The US Sun that the Gilgo killer has a “hatred for women” and “enjoyed tearing these women apart”.
Who is Rex Heuermann?
Heuermann, 61, worked as an architect in Manhattan, and is married with two children.
He lived in Massapequa Park, just a 20 minute drive from Gilgo Beach where the bodies were dumped.
He was “born and raised in Long Island” but had been “working in Manhattan since 1987”, according to an interview posted on YouTube last year.
Calls made from burner phones and to some of the victims’ cellphones can be traced to his office, according to court documents.
The architect has been married twice, sharing a 26-year-old daughter and stepson with special needs with his second wife Asa Ellerup.
Lawyers for the victims have called for Asa to also be investigated as a suspect.
Heuermann allegedly used skills he learned as an architect to carry out some of the murders.
He has been described as “creepy” by former colleagues.

What is Heuermann accused of?
Heuermann was initially arrested in July 2023 and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder.
These charges related to the deaths of three women: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello.
In January 2024, he was charged with the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
Then, in June 2024, he was further charged with the murders of Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla.
Sandra’s death has not previously been linked to the Gilgo Beach serial killings.
The connection extended the case back to the early 1990s – much further back than cops initially thought.
Finally, Heuermann was charged with a seventh murder in December 2024 – that of Valerie Mack.
What led to Heuermann’s arrest?
Heuermann was linked to the three murders he was first charged with by cellphone evidence and surveillance.
A bail application released by the Suffolk County District Attorney revealed alleged internet searches for “sadistic materials, child pornography, images of the victims and their relatives” by Heuermann.
Through a huge investigation, cops discovered burner phones allegedly used to arrange meetings with three of the Gilgo Four.
Defense attorney Michael Brown plans on filing a motion to separate the cases against Rex Heuermann
One key piece of evidence used to arrest Heuermann was a hair found on the material used to wrap Megan’s body, which matched his DNA, according to court documents.
The hair was matched with his DNA from leftovers of a pizza Heurmann threw away.
Where is Rex Heuermann now?
Heuermann remains behind bars on Long Island.
The suspect appeared in court on March 12, 2025, to attend a conference hearing.
His lawyers are pushing for the murder cases to be tried separately, rather than as one case, but Suffolk County prosecutors are opposing that.
Heuermann’s legal team wants to break up the murders because they reportedly fear that the cumulative effect of being tried for all seven at once could damage his defense.
They also requested in February that the judge exclude all DNA evidence from the case.
The trial is scheduled for late 2025 or early 2026.

PAFans have been keen to find out who will join the Gallagher brothers on the Oasis tour[/caption]

GettyNewcomer Joey Waronker will be playing the drums on the tour[/caption]
The rumour mill has been in overdrive about who will make up the rest of Oasis for their huge gigs this summer.
It’s now been revealed that the line-up will made up of fan favourites, with a new guy added into the mix.
According sources at the NME, along with the Gallagher brothers, fans can expect Andy Bell on bass and Gem Archer on guitar, who both joined the band in its later years.
Oasis founder and guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs will also be back in the band for the new tour after leaving the group in 1999.
Fans we also be treated to new member, Joey Waronker on drums.
The pro drummer has played for huge acts in the past, including Beck, R.E.M and Thom Yorke‘s Atoms For Peace band.
Oasis are yet to officially confirm this line-up and The Sun has contacted their reps for comment.
SHORT SET RUMOURS
Meanwhile, such hype surrounding the Oasis reunion – and sky-high ticket prices – fans had been expecting an extensive setlist packed with their biggest hits.
One wrote: “I hope this isn’t real I will by flying from Florida to Chicago! Knowing Liam it probably isn’t.”
Another added: “No way they do anything under 2 hours after the prices they charged and the media hype. 30-40 minute Noel set to get them to 2 hours I bet.”
In a well-meaning attempt to stamp out the use of “bots” to buy tickets, Ticketmaster cancelled up to 50,000 of them which it deemed suspicious, however, some ordinary fans were punished in the process.

Liam later had his say, but it didn’t provide any comfort for affected fans.
One fan asked on X: “Liam, what do you think of the ticket situation? Thinking fans are bots and getting their money returned?”
He responded: “I don’t make the rules. We’re trying to do the right thing. It is what it is. I’m the singer. Get off my case.”
In another tweet, Liam doubled down, writing: “I know loads of people that ain’t got tickets even family members and there upset but there not being mean and shouting hurty wurty stuff.”
