Jacqueline Jossa’s ‘worried’ friends reveal fears over crisis talks with husband Dan Osborne
JACQUELINE Jossa’s friends have shared their fears over crisis talks with her husband Dan Osborne.
Dan, 33, isn’t currently living in the family home following his split from EastEnders‘ Lauren Branning star last week, with the couple currently locked in crisis talks.
And now it has been revealed that Jacqueline’s pals are urging her to “take time and really think” about what the best decision is for her and the whole family.
According to The Mirror, a source has said: “Jacqueline’s friends are worried she’s been through so much heartbreak and don’t want her to get hurt again.”
“They want her to take her time and really think about what the best decision for the whole family is, but it’s tough when she’s so heartbroken and wants to save the marriage,” they added.
This comes as Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline, 32, and former TOWIE star Dan embark on crisis talks following their split.
In a last ditch attempt to save their marriage, the couple are said to be “talking things through”.
Yesterday we revealed that pals close to the couple said: “Jacqueline and Dan have effectively ended the marriage but she wants to try to get back on track.
“Things have been very difficult between them but she still has love for Dan.
“He’s still not living at the family home but he and Jacqueline are talking things through.
“There has been no conversation about divorce.”
Jac and Dan, who first started dating back in 2013 after meeting at an awards ceremony, split last week.
Their official split statement said: “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.
“Above all, Jacqueline and Dan have each other’s and their children’s best interests at heart. There will be no further comment.”
