‘Real reason confirmed’ for ‘betrayed’ Jacqueline Jossa’s split from Dan Osbourne
EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa has split from husband Dan Osborne after he purchased a property without her knowledge, it has been reported.
The actress, 32, married the The Only Way is Essex star, 33, in 2017, and they share two daughters together.
Dan also has a son from a previous relationship.
The former couple have been forced to quash breakup rumours on numerous occasions over recent years, including on a number of occasions when he was accused of cheating.
Last weekend it was confirmed that Dan and Jacqueline are parting ways after eight years as husband and wife.
A statement confirmed: ‘Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye.’
It added: ‘They kindly ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this together.
‘Their children remain their top priority, surrounded by love and care from both parents—something that will never change.
‘Above all, Jacqueline and Dan have each other’s and their children’s best interests at heart. There will be no further comment.’
Jacqueline spent Sunday with daughters Ella, nine, and Mia, six, her sister Katrina, and friend Laura. The group attended a pottery painting class before heading for lunch.
She was pictured not wearing her wedding ring.
Dan, who was reportedly already moved out of their family home, headed to West Sussex to play in Sellebrity Soccer at Bognor Regis Town FC, where he was named man of the match.
It has now been claimed by MailOnline that the pair separated after he bought a house in Essex last year, which, according to a source, left her feeling ‘betrayed’ as it had ‘reignited old trust issues’.
Jacqueline was the sole owner their ‘dream’ £2million six-bedroom home, which sold earlier this month for a six-figure sum, with Dan allegedly buying the new home as a means to ‘protect’ himself under the weight of their strained marriage.
The insider told the publication: ‘Dan bought a house last year without telling Jacqueline until the final stages.
‘He put the wheels in motion because he believed their relationship was coming to an end and with Jacqueline owning their marital home, he needed to look after his future.
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.’
