Dan Osborne suggested his marriage to Jacqueline Jossa was over a week ago after emerging without his wedding ring – as friends confirm the couple are ‘living separate lives’

by

Dan Osborne hinted his marriage to Jacqueline Jossa is over, after being seen without his wedding ring. Sources say they actually split several months ago, earlier this year.

After a private trial separation that lasted most of the year, the couple have reportedly ended their 13-year relationship.

Dan and his wife have had a rocky marriage, with ongoing problems including accusations that he was unfaithful. He’s been previously linked to both Gabby Allen and Alexandra Cane from the show Love Island, with reports suggesting he cheated on his wife.

Last week, 34-year-old Dan was seen without his wedding ring while getting ready for a movie premiere in London. This was just before news broke that he and his spouse had separated.

The dad, who has three children, looked sad as he left the house in Essex that he bought when he and his partner first separated last year.

Jacqueline, the actress from EastEnders, has reportedly decided to divorce her husband, Dan, who previously appeared on The Only Way Is Essex. Sources say she had already emotionally detached from the relationship before making the decision.

Dan and his wife got married in 2017 after dating for four years. They have two daughters together, Ella, 11, and Mia, 7. Dan also has a 12-year-old son, Teddy, from a previous relationship.

The TV personality, who has tattoos, first left home in March of last year when the couple briefly split up.

The couple took a crucial trip to Mexico, hoping to strengthen their relationship. In June 2025, they celebrated eight years of marriage with a romantic stay at a luxurious hotel in London.

Sources are now saying the couple’s separation is final. After experiencing difficulties and spending time apart this year, they’ve decided to permanently split. Their daughters remain their top concern.

Sources say Dan moved out of their shared home last month, reportedly into a house he’d secretly purchased. This happened during a short separation from Jacqueline in early 2025.

Jacqueline was stunned to learn her husband had secretly purchased a house in Essex the previous year, and this discovery further complicated their already difficult relationship.

The couple reportedly struggled to make their marriage work following weeks of heated rows. 

According to a source close to the situation, Jac has reached her limit after a difficult year. She and her partner have essentially been living separate lives, and she’s no longer willing to continue that pattern of uncertainty and repeated reconciliation.

This is the first time Jac has emotionally distanced herself from Dan, and he’s really worried. He fears he’s finally gone too far and that she’s losing interest.

Jacqueline’s friends are very happy she’s finally left her marriage, after encouraging her to do so for years.

The Daily Mail has contacted Jacqueline and Dan’s representatives for comment. 

Only five months ago, Dan was seen liking photos of another woman in a bikini on Instagram. According to Closer magazine, this suggested he was returning to his previous behavior.

Sources say Dan has been interacting with model Rosey Victoria online, specifically ‘liking’ her posts. An insider also revealed concerns about Dan’s trustworthiness, stating he has a history of being unreliable.

Jac loves Dan deeply and is determined to make their marriage succeed, no matter the sacrifices required.

He just can’t seem to stop his problematic behavior, and his friends are concerned he’s repeating past mistakes.

Okay, so I’ve been doing some serious digging, and apparently Dan and Rosey are actually friends! I mean, I knew they had amazing chemistry on screen, but it’s so much better knowing it extends off-screen too. I checked, and they totally follow each other on social media – it’s not much, but it’s enough to make a fangirl like me ridiculously happy!

The actor acknowledged the importance of a strong support system, explaining that they and their partner never faced hardship as young parents because of the help they received from their families.

Jac recently told OK! magazine that raising a family truly takes a team effort, and she feels lucky to have a strong support system. She especially praised her husband, calling him incredible.

He has a demanding job, so when it comes to managing things, we generally tackle them as a team. Fortunately, both my mom and Dan’s dad are amazing and provide a lot of support, which is a huge help.

Dan and I became parents at a young age, but we managed well, thanks to a strong support system. I’ve always been lucky to have incredible friends and family who helped us along the way – it’s been true throughout my life.

After getting back together following a short breakup in March of last year, Dan reportedly sent flirtatious text messages to Christine McGuinness, who is 37 years old.

Reports surfaced as early as 2019 that the former TOWIE star and Paddy McGuinness’s ex-wife were becoming close, suggesting they supported each other through difficulties in their marriages.

Reports suggest the two individuals shared playful text messages while supporting each other through difficult times. They were also seen together at The Hoxton hotel in London back in March 2023.

Reports suggested Christine and Dan supported each other while having problems in their marriages, and they shared playful text messages where Christine allegedly referred to Dan as ‘D’.

Following reports about their close bond, Christine stated firmly that there was no sexual relationship between them. Dan, meanwhile, has proposed that the messages circulating are either fabricated or created using artificial intelligence.

I’ve been following this story closely, and a friend of Christine’s shared with The Sun that Dan was usually the one initiating contact – mostly through texts. Apparently, a lot of their conversations were just about their kids and keeping things friendly, really normal stuff between parents.

Dan and Jacqueline have struggled with trust issues in their relationship, including rumors of cheating. In 2018, Dan was seen getting close to Gabby Allen from Love Island while on a yacht in Marbella, sparking further speculation.

The Sun newspaper reported that Dan exchanged ‘flirty messages’ with Gabby, a fellow contestant from Celebrity Big Brother. This came months after both of them strongly denied rumors of a romantic relationship.

In March 2019, reports surfaced claiming he had kissed Alexandra Cane from Love Island while at a nightclub, but both of them stated this wasn’t true.

In December, he faced accusations of infidelity after reports surfaced claiming he had a threesome with Natalie Nunn and Chloe Ayling, fellow contestants on Celebrity Big Brother, the previous year. He firmly denied these claims while Jacqueline was appearing on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

After repeatedly denying it, Dan finally confessed to being unfaithful and then mentioned he’d had second thoughts about it.

Dan recently shared with The Sun that he’s made errors in his marriage, admitting he’s done things he shouldn’t have. He and his wife, Jac, have discussed these issues, and she has accepted his apology.

I used to have a habit of either denying things that weren’t true or staying silent when they were. I’ve definitely changed since then.
