EastEnders actress and former TOWIE star Dan Osborne have reportedly ended their relationship. This comes just hours after Dan was spotted grinning in online photos. The couple, who have been wed for eight years, are said to have called it quits. It's reported that Jacqueline, 32, has stayed in the family home with their , while Dan has relocated to a nearby residence.

This shocking revelation arrives only weeks after rumours swirled about their status, which they had previously denied. On Saturday, March 15, just before the news broke, Dan and Jacqueline seemed to be having contrasting days. Dan shared his workout session with his 11 year old son Teddy at Ripped Gym in Basildon, Essex on his Instagram stories. He appeared cheerful as he posed for a mirror selfie with Teddy.

On the other hand, Jacqueline appeared utterly devastated on her social media. The mother of two posted several gloomy-looking snaps on her Instagram Stories. She captioned the pictures 'Saturday', dressed in a black and white striped short-sleeve top paired with light blue jeans. Despite wearing makeup, her expression was far from joyful.

An insider told "Jacqueline and Dan are on a break and are spending time apart from each other. It's not been easy for them lately and they have made this difficult decision." They also expressed uncertainty about what the future holds, but acknowledged the necessity of the couple's separation, noting that it was "needed."

The source went on to say the two remain "amicable" amid their efforts to resolve their issues and made it clear there were no external factors influencing their choice: "Jac and Dan have been rocked by their fair share of scandals but this situation could not be further from that," they remarked.

Wedding bells rang in 2017 for Jacqueline and Dan at a grand Cheshire manor, and together they dote on daughters Ella, nine, and Mia, six. Dan also has son Tommy, 11, from a previous relationship. It's not always been smooth sailing since Dan found himself at the centre of controversy back in 2015, facing allegations of misconduct with a high-profile model.

More trouble brewed as new claims emerged, linking Dan to an alleged affair with Love Island's Gabby Allen; these rumours brought strain into their union. Despite this, Jacqueline has consistently stated that they overcame the problems. In a candid moment last year, she opened up about their marriage, vehemently addressing Dan's rumoured infidelity and past separation speculation.

Jacqueline Jossa shared a heartfelt post on social media, expressing her love and appreciation for her husband Daniel Osborne, alongside a series of romantic photos. She wrote: "Just realised I haven't even posted on the grid about Daniel's bday or our anniversary and I just wanted to do a little appreciation post for my bestest friend in the world. Over 10 years and 7 of them married. Love you more than ever. Crazy little world isn't it. Also it's crazy how little photos we take now. Need more! !".

However, this loving display comes after Dan publicly admitted to making mistakes in their relationship back in 2020. He released a statement apologising for his actions, saying: "So after weeks, months and years of constant articles and rumours, some true, some very untrue I want to publicly say I know I have made mistakes. We all do as humans, but I've made some that have almost cost me my family."

He continued, "I am the luckiest man in the world to have what I have with Jacqueline and my three incredible children and I will spend the rest of my life being the best husband and dad that I can be. Jac, myself and our families are excited for the future, one filled with love and happiness together. We truly appreciate everyone that has supported us as a couple, we are ending this year stronger than ever."
