Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne’s Shock Split: The Surprising Reason Behind Their Breakup

BBG News

Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne split after the former TOWIE star purchased a property without his wife’s knowledge, TopMob can reveal.

32-year-old actress from EastEnders found herself taken aback when she learned that Dan, aged 33, purchased a home in Southend, Essex, the previous year. This unexpected move added to the already tense dynamics of their relationship.

People close to Jacqueline, the well-known actress and mother of Ella, 10, and Mia, 6, have shared that she has been deeply hurt due to a recent incident. This event seems to have rekindled some lingering concerns about trust in her relationships.

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

Jacqueline was the sole owner of the couple’s ‘dream’ £2million six-bedroom home, which was put on the market in June and sold earlier this month for a six-figure sum.

A source told TopMob that Dan, who’s also a father to son Teddy, 11, with ex-partner Megan Tomlin, wanted to ‘protect’ himself and invest in somewhere to live for his own security as his relationship with Jacqueline gradually declined.

A source disclosed: ‘Dan purchased a home last year, keeping it a secret from Jacqueline until the later stages of the process.’

He started making arrangements because he thought that his relationship was about to conclude and since Jacqueline owned their matrimonial house, he wanted to secure his future.

‘It caused a blazing row between them and the trust, which was already fragmented, really suffered.’

It was confirmed on Sunday that the couple had separated following almost eight years of marriage and over 10 years together, with Dan already spotted without his wedding ring.  

The Sun on Sunday revealed Dan had packed his bags and moved out with the couple uncertain about their future.

Jacqueline and Dan prefer to manage their personal matters in private, choosing not to let their lives and romance be exposed to public scrutiny. They politely request that people give them space and privacy as they deal with this situation together.

The kids are always their number one concern, constantly bathed in affection and attention from both mom and dad – a situation that’s here to stay.

‘Above all, Jacqueline and Dan have each other’s and their children’s best interests at heart. There will be no further comment.’

TopMob has contacted Jacqueline and Dan’s representatives for comment. 

In July, it was exclusively disclosed by TopMob that Jacqueline decided to sell her mansion in Essex following years of renovation, a process she frequently shared updates about on Instagram.

Previously, Jacqueline referred to the house as the couple’s “permanent residence,” detailing the occasion of picking up the keys to her followers.

The former I’m A Celeb winner, who returned to EastEnders as Lauren Branning in 2023, proudly shared videos on her profile where she took her fans on a tour of the property, showing off a bar area with light-up ‘The Osborne’s’ sign.

Jacqueline married ex-TOWIE star Dan in June 2017 and last paid tribute to her husband online in July, which coincided with their wedding anniversary and his birthday.

She wrote: ‘Just realised I haven’t even posted on the grid about Daniel’s birthday or our anniversary and I just wanted to do a little appreciation post for my bestest friend in the world. Over 10 years and seven of them married. Love you more than ever. Crazy little world isn’t it.’ 

Over time, the pair has encountered various challenges in their relationship, often overshadowed by accusations of infidelity directed at Dan.

In 2018, he faced allegations that he had a romantic encounter with Gabby Allen, who won Love Island: All Stars. This was after photos emerged showing them looking close while relaxing on a yacht in Marbella.

Previously on ITVBe, the star was additionally implicated in having an affair with an unidentified woman soon after his marriage to Jacqueline, as well as participating in a threesome involving Celebrity Big Brother model Chloe Ayling, US reality TV personality Natalie Nunn, and himself – allegations he refuted.

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

2019 saw Jacqueline’s stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, where her fellow camper Myles Stephenson, who once dated Gabby, confided in Jacqueline that he suspected Dan had been unfaithful with the Scouse Islander.

A year later, Dan finally confessed to making ‘mistakes’ and said ‘I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done’ as he finally took responsibility for his actions.

He openly acknowledged that, under similar circumstances, he would have ended their relationship if Jacqueline had acted as he did. Put simply, he stated, ‘Had our roles been reversed, I would have left.’

Dan has previously claimed it was Jacqueline’s stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle, where she was crowned winner, that made him realise how much he appreciates his wife. 

He confessed that he found it hard to cope without her, and when Jacqueline left the camp, they decided to press the “reset” button and begin a fresh chapter together.

They were hit with split rumours last Easter when Dan failed to make an appearance at a family get-together hosted by Jacquline at their home, but the coupled denied they were going through any problems.
