Eddie Hearn and Chloe Hearn: Monaco move amid marriage rumors spotlighted by Netflix doc

Netflix's six-episode series Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen offers an intimate portrait of Barry Hearn's boxing, darts and snooker empire and its current leader, Eddie Hearn. But the program conspicuously omits Eddie's wife, Chloe Hearn, fueling reports that the couple are living separate lives. The Daily Mail, citing multiple sources, reports that Eddie and Chloe are increasingly distant and living in two different countries, while insisting they remain married and have no plans to change that status.

According to those briefings, Eddie, 46, spends most of his time in Monaco, where he is domiciled for tax reasons and is required to spend at least six months of the year. Chloe, a former beautician who helped run aspects of the Hearns’ Essex operations, remains largely out of the spotlight at the family estate in Ingatestone, Essex. Their two teenage daughters are thought to shuttle between the two residences, visiting their father in Monaco and living with their mother in Essex. The couple have been married for 13 years but friends say they are leading increasingly separate lives because of the divergent demands of their careers and family life.

Chloe's public profile in the Netflix project is notably absent, and the status of her relationship with Eddie has become a talking point for observers. The docuseries shows Eddie without a wedding band in promotional imagery and in preview material, contrasting with earlier publicity shots where a gold wedding ring was visible. Chloe has not been seen publicly for months, and her only publicly documented action this year was resigning as a director from Matchroom's charity foundation on March 31. The following day, Eddie filed papers with Companies House indicating he had relocated to Monaco. By that point, he was listed as usually resident there as of April 1, a shift that aligns with the timing of the couple’s evolving living arrangements.

A spokesperson for Eddie and Chloe told The Daily Mail that the rumors about their marriage are untrue, stating they are still very much together. A close associate echoed this sentiment, noting that Eddie and Chloe may spend a lot of time apart due to business and family demands but remain a couple. Still, other friends acknowledge that the Hearns are leading increasingly separate lives, living in different countries and rarely appearing in public together. They attribute the arrangement to Eddie's workload promoting fights across the globe and Chloe's role as primary carer to their two daughters. They stress that, in their view, the relationship remains functional, just unconventional by traditional standards.

The Netflix docuseries does provide a broader look at the Hearns’ world beyond the couple’s private life. It follows Mascalls, the Essex estate that serves as Matchroom Boxing's headquarters, a property that features an indoor pool, gym and helipad and houses more than 80 staff who help run Eddie’s multi-sport empire. The program also highlights the women who help run the day-to-day operations: Bella Gay, head of ticketing; Alix Spraggon, UK travel coordinator; and Emily Frazer, CEO of Matchroom's multisports division, who discuss driving events such as the Mosconi Cup pool tournament in the United States. Frazer described her involvement as both overwhelming and exciting, underscoring how crucial a broader team is to the Hearns’ business model.

The documentary frames Eddie as the second-generation leader who has driven Matchroom to new global heights, while Barry Hearn’s backstory—rising from a Dagenham council house to the pinnacle of world sport—serves as a reminder of the franchise’s origins. Barry’s life and career, as depicted in the series and recounted in his own public remarks, emphasize the family’s business acumen, risk-taking and willingness to adapt across sports such as boxing, darts and snooker. The program notes that Eddie’s sister Katie Godding also works for Matchroom as director of programming and head of its media arm, though Eddie says she opted out of the documentary's limelight.

Observers note that the Netflix project offers insight into the empire’s inner workings and the people who keep it running, even as it leaves some questions about Eddie and Chloe’s private life unanswered. The Hearns’ public statement remains that the marriage endures, while those close to the family describe a dynamic shaped by competing professional obligations and a desire to balance family with a global promotional schedule. In the boxing world, speculation has been tempered by recognition of Eddie’s achievements and the longevity of Barry and Susan Hearn’s partnership, which continues despite the intensity of the business they built.

The broader portrait offered by Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen—alongside the Monaco relocation—adds a contemporary chapter to the Hearns’ saga: a family enterprise that has grown from a Romford snooker club to a multinational sports promotion house. The Netflix series captures the meticulous branding, the high-stakes negotiations and the staff who work behind the scenes to sustain the company’s multi-sport footprint, while the personal narrative around Eddie and Chloe remains a closely guarded, evolving story.
