Dan Osborne has been seen for the first time since news broke of his split from wife Jacqueline Jossa, noticeably without his wedding ring.
The former TOWIE star has reportedly moved out of the family home he shared with the EastEnders actress, marking the end of their eight-year marriage. The couple, who have long been the subject of speculation regarding their relationship, had previously denied any issues as recently as January. However, on Saturday night, they confirmed their separation in a joint statement.
“Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye,” the statement read. “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, known for her role as Lauren Branning in EastEnders, and Dan, who rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, married in 2017. They share two daughters, Ella, nine, and Mia, six, while Dan is also father to 11-year-old son Tommy from a previous relationship.
Despite their high-profile romance, the pair had frequently faced scrutiny over their relationship, with previous reports of strain and allegations of infidelity. While the exact reason for their split remains private, their latest move suggests that they are focusing on co-parenting and moving forward separately.
