The cracks in Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne’s marriage had reportedly been forming for months, with sources revealing that the couple’s relationship reached breaking point over Christmas.
The former EastEnders actress and the ex-TOWIE star confirmed their split over the weekend after eight years of marriage. However, reports now suggest that the festive season was a turning point, highlighting the growing distance between them.
Growing Struggles and Time Apart
A source close to the couple shared that their relationship had been on the rocks for some time, and tensions escalated towards the end of 2023.
“Jacqueline and Dan’s marriage had been struggling for months, but the cracks really started to appear at the end of last year,” the source explained. “By Christmas, they had reached a breaking point. While most couples spend the festive period with their families, that wasn’t the case for them.”
During the holidays, Jacqueline, 32, was seen celebrating with her daughters Ella, nine, and Mia, six. A photo shared by her mother, Selina, captured the festive family moment—but Dan, 33, was noticeably absent from the gathering, fueling speculation about their marriage troubles.
Signs of Separation
Dan’s absence at Christmas family events was seen as a clear sign of marital strain, with sources stating that their relationship gradually unraveled over the past few months. Despite earlier attempts to dismiss speculation about their split, the couple has now officially parted ways.
While both Jacqueline and Dan have remained private about the exact reasons for their separation, their statement emphasized that their children remain their top priority, and they will continue to co-parent amicably.
A New Chapter
The couple, who first met in 2014 and married in 2017, have navigated public scrutiny throughout their relationship, with past challenges and reconciliation efforts making headlines. However, sources indicate that this time, the split is final.
