by

Jacqueline Jossa was seen out in public for the first time on Friday, following news of her split from Dan Osbourne earlier this week.

After nearly nine years together, the couple has separated due to a difficult marriage marked by allegations of infidelity on Dan’s part.

I’ve been following Jacqueline and Dan’s relationship closely, and it’s so sad to hear they’ve split. From what I understand, Jacqueline really struggled with Dan’s past – she just couldn’t get past it. And it seems like that caused a lot of tension, to the point where Dan felt he couldn’t handle how she was reacting. It’s a shame it ended this way.

According to a Mail+ report, Dan secretly ended things months ago. After years of effort, he realized he was unable to fix the issues from his past. You can read the complete story here.

After the news broke, Jacqueline was seen looking downcast while driving her black BMW 4×4 in Essex, shielding her eyes with dark sunglasses.

Jacqueline stepped out, her long brown hair down and without makeup, and seemed to be by herself.

The couple has had a challenging marriage, marked by accusations of infidelity against Dan.

In 2018, he faced allegations of an affair with Gabby Allen, the winner of Love Island: All Stars, after photos surfaced of them looking close on a yacht in Marbella.

Dan Osborne, who previously appeared on ITVBe, faced allegations of infidelity, including claims of an affair with an unknown woman shortly after marrying Jac. He also denied reports of a threesome with model Chloe Ayling, 28, and US reality star Natalie Nunn, 41.

Six months later, he was seen kissing 2018 Love Islander Alexandra Cane on a London night out.

While appearing on I’m A Celebrity… in 2019, actress Jac was told by fellow contestant Myles Stephenson, 34, that he thought Dan had been unfaithful with a contestant from the show Love Island, as Myles had previously dated Gabby.

After a year, Dan admitted he had made errors and acknowledged doing things he regretted.

He confessed that he would have ended the relationship if Jacqueline had acted like him, stating, ‘I would have left if the roles were reversed.’

Despite their difficulties, Jacqueline consistently stood by her husband, and they both worked to repair their relationship and create a better future.

When she came back to Eastenders as Lauren Branning in 2023, it changed their family dynamic. Dan started handling more of the everyday tasks at home, like childcare.

Dan shared parenting responsibilities for his 12-year-old son, Teddy, with his ex-partner, Megan Tomlin, in addition to raising his daughters, Ella, 11, and Mia, 7.

Megan and Dan separated while she was pregnant. By the time their son, Teddy, was born in December 2013, Dan was already in a relationship with Jacqueline.

Two years after getting engaged during a romantic trip to Greece, Dan and his partner got married at Cheshire Manor House.

They had their first daughter, Ella Selina, in 2015, and welcomed their second daughter, Mia, in 2018.

They separated eight months into Jacqueline’s second pregnancy, following a series of intense arguments.

The Daily Mail was first to report that the celebrity reached out to a woman to ask about rumors of a romantic encounter with her soon-to-be ex-husband.

I couldn’t believe the rumors when I first heard them. Apparently, just months after Dan and Jacqueline’s perfect wedding, someone whispered that he… well, that he was with another woman over the summer. It just felt impossible, like a cruel joke, but the gossip kept swirling and honestly, it broke my heart for Jacqueline. It felt like their fairytale was already crumbling.

The actress messaged, asking if the rumors were true. She added that she wouldn’t be upset if they were.

The woman told The Daily Mail that she had a one-night stand with Dan after they’d been friends for some time and unexpectedly ran into each other at a bar in Essex.

She claimed the former TOWIE star told her he and Jacqueline were having problems and were essentially separated when they first met.

The woman was stunned and upset to learn Dan was still with Jacqueline, and felt guilty about something related to their relationship. This guilt led her to share her story after Jacqueline reached out.

The celebrity shared that Dan will be there when she gives birth and discussed their relationship during an appearance on the show Loose Women.

She said she was doing okay, and that it’s natural to want to keep personal issues private. She felt it wasn’t right for things happening at home to become public.

Honestly, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t necessarily a reflection of your worth, and there could be lots of reasons why things feel stuck. That’s really all I want to share – I’m doing well, and I want you to remember that too.

Dan was first linked to Gabby after they were spotted getting close on a yacht in Marbella in 2018.

Okay, so I recently had someone comment on a photo, saying me and a female friend looked ‘cosy,’ and honestly, it was a bit frustrating. I responded by pointing out we were just chatting and laughing – two friends hanging out! It’s amazing how quickly people jump to conclusions, because apparently, a man and a woman can’t be friends these days without it being something more. It also bothered me that this person felt they could comment on my relationships or how I behave when they don’t even know me. It’s a good reminder that you really can’t judge what’s going on in someone else’s life based on a quick glance.

Gabby’s ex-boyfriend, Marcel Somerville, also claimed she was unfaithful with Dan, but Gabby strongly denied it, maintaining her complete faithfulness during their time together.

The Sun newspaper reported that Dan had been sending flirty messages to Gabby, a fellow contestant from Celebrity Big Brother. This came several months after both of them strongly denied rumors of a secret romantic relationship.

In March 2019, rumors spread that he had kissed Alexandra Cane from Love Island at a nightclub, but both of them said it didn’t happen.
