Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne ‘living apart’ following ‘split’ in eight-year marriage: ‘It’s not been easy’
EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa, 32, and her husband Dan Osborne have reportedly split after eight years of marriage.
The couple are said to be “on a break” with the former TOWIE star, 33, having moved out of their family home last week.
Jossa, who previously stringently denied rumours of a rift, has reportedly remained in the property with the couple’s two daughters.
A source close to the pair told The Sun: “Jacqueline and Dan are on a break and are spending time apart from each other. It’s not been easy for them lately.”

The source told the publication that “neither of them know what is going to happen in the future, but for now they’ve decided living apart and taking a break from each other is what they need.”
Dan is reportedly living in a house nearby their family home.
GB News has reached out to Jossa’s representatives for comment.
Sources insist the split is “amicable” as the couple work through their differences.
“Jacqueline and Dan are working things out amicably and have not made a concrete decision on the future of their relationship,” one insider claimed.
The couple released an official statement saying: “Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye.
“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.”
The statement concluded: “Above all, Jacqueline and Dan have each other’s and their children’s best interests at heart. There will be no further comment.”
It comes after news that the couple have sold their £2million Essex mansion, which they spent three years renovating.
According to reports, the six-bedroom property sold for £1,599,950 – around £500,000 less than the originally advertised price.
The home was previously described by Jacqueline as a “dream come true” when the family moved in back in 2021.
The decision to sell what had been dubbed their “dream home” initially sparked speculation about their relationship.
Jacqueline and Dan first met at an awards ceremony in 2013.
The couple tied the knot in 2017 and share daughters Ella, 9, and Mia, 6.
Dan also has an 11-year-old son, Teddy, from a previous relationship with ex-partner Megan Tomlin.
