Jacqueline Jossa has reportedly been fighting to save her marriage to Dan Osborne – but now the former TOWIE star is telling friends the marriage is officially over
Jacqueline Jossa has been left devastated as husband Dan Osborne has completely quit their marriage. The 32-year-old EastEnders star was first linked to former The Only Way Is Essex star Dan, 33, in 2013 and they ultimately tied-the-knot in 2017 and welcomed daughters Ella, 10 and Mia, seven.
The marriage was frequently rocked by reports they were on the rocks, but the couple always appeared to sail through the choppy waters united.
But earlier this month, it was revealed that the marriage had collapsed – with the couple confirming the news last weekend. It was suggested that Jacqueline was trying to salvage the marriage – but now it is claimed that Dan, who also has a 11-year-old son named Teddy from a previous marriage, has walked away from negotiations.
Jacqueline – who has played Lauren Branning on the BBC soap EastEnders since 2010 – is said to be “absolutely devastated” over the end of her marriage. While Dan, it is reported, is keen to move on.

A source told The Sun: “Dan has fallen out of love with Jacqueline and there’s no way back for him. Jacqueline is absolutely devastated and will do anything to make it work. She’s putting on a brave face for social media but behind closed doors it’s a different story.
“Dan has told friends it’s over for him and while he won’t be rushing into a divorce, it’s not a question of if they will, but when.
“He wants to build and foster a positive relationship with Jacqueline for the sake of their children but says it’s over for good.” The Mirror has contacted representatives of Dan and Jacqueline for comment.
The signs that things were over for good emerged this week after Jaqueline was spotted looking downcast while at a petrol station, while Dan looked casual while wandering around with a sports bag. According to body language expert Judi James, tiny signs suggest that Jacqueline and Dan are reacting very differently to their split.
She told The Mirror on Thursday: “Nobody would expect Jaqueline to be smiling and carefree while filling up her car with petrol but it’s still quite easy to spot body language signs that suggest the past few days have taken their toll on her emotionally.
“Her expression looks grim and her lips are pursed. Added to the raised chin this could suggest a mood of defiance or determination underpinning the sadness.
“She pulls her coat across her torso in a barrier gesture and there seems to be some tension in the hand that is clasping it.” In contrast, Judi noted: “Dan, meanwhile, looks faintly glum although his features always seem set in a formation that suggests he’s on the brink of a smile, no matter what. His head is down but there seems to be less grimness here than there is on Jaqueline’s facial expression.”
