EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa and husband Daniel Osborne have separated after nearly eight years of marriage.
The actor, who plays Lauren Branning on the BBC soap, wed the former The Only Way is Essex and Celebrity Big Brother star in June 2017, with the couple also welcoming two daughters in 2015 and 2018.
Now, as per The Sun, the couple have opted to split, with their separation reportedly occurring over the course of the past week. The paper reports that a statement was released on behalf of the pair, who are said to have broken up amicably.
“Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye,” read the statement. “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.”
Digital Spy has contacted representatives for Jossa and Osborne for comment.
Jossa, who returned to EastEnders on a full-time basis in January 2024, shared last year that she had implemented some lifestyle changes, explaining: “[I’ve] just been moving so much more, trying to train three times a week, sometimes more and sometimes less and eat well.
“Honestly, my mindset had just changed in the last eight or so months and just got so into it. I’ve been so much happier for it. I still have a way to go actually but I feel much better mentally. I love the classes at the gym.
“I do 15 minutes of warming up on [a] running machine. Walking and running. Then three sets of each exercise focusing on [a] certain body part… adding core work and cardio in between,” continued the star, who won the 19th season of I’m a Celebrityโฆ Get Me Out of Here! in 2019.
