Dan Osborne is all smiles as he attends charity football match after split from Jacqueline Jossa
DAN Osbourne looked cheerful as he attended a charity football match after his split from Jacqueline Jossa.
The Towie star, 33, and EastEnders actress, 32, have ended their relationship after nearly eight years of marriage.
They are reportedly already living separately after he “reignited old trust issues” after he “betrayed her”.
They issued an official statement that insisted, “they’re handling things privately.”
Despite going through a difficult, he seemed pleased about the welcome distraction.
Father-of-three Dan was joined by Calum Best, Bleu Landau, MAFS’s Ryan Livesey, Orson Nurse, and Georges Berthonneau.
The Celebrity charity match was at Kettering Town FC to raise money for The James Brindley Foundation.
Before the match he enjoyed a gym workout, sharing a photo on his social media with the caption: “Needed.”
The Sun on Sunday revealed that the couple had split and Dan had moved out to a new home near Southend, Essex.
And a pal of the pair has said that Dan is “still not living at home.”
They continued: “Jacqueline and Dan have decided living apart and taking a break from each other is what they need.
“It’s not been easy for them lately. Neither knows what is going to happen in the future.”
Despite still living apart, Jacqueline is ‘refusing to call in divorce lawyers.’
The couple share two children – Ella, nine, and Mia, six.
Pals said the couple are holding crisis talks after he moved out of the family home, and say Jacqueline — Lauren Branning in EastEnders — has told them she has no plans to start divorce proceedings.
They said: “He’s still not living at the family home but he and Jacqueline are talking things through. There has been no conversation about divorce.”
The statement that confirmed the split read: “Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out the public eye.
“Their children remain their top priority, surrounded by love and care from both parents — something that will never change.”
Reports claim that Dan “secretly bought a house” without his wife Jacqueline knowing.
Dan, 33, is said to have purchased the property in Southend, Essex, behind 32-year-old Jacqueline‘s back last year.
Sources close to the couple have said it left EastEnders actress Jacqueline “feeling betrayed”.
It comes after Jacqueline put the couple’s £2million, six-bedroom “dream home”, which she solely owned, on the market last year.
An insider told Mail Online: “Dan bought a house last year without telling Jacqueline until the final stages.
“He put the wheels in motion because he believed their relationship was coming to an end and with Jacqueline owning their marital home, he needed to look after his future.
“It caused a blazing row between them and the trust, which was already fragmented, really suffered.”
Jacqueline and Dan tied the knot in June 2017 but their marriage was soon put to the test.
Dan briefly moved out the following year, when Jacqueline was 33 weeks pregnant with their daughter Mia, and he blamed it on “arguments”.
The couple got back together but Dan was later accused of cheating with several different women behind Jacqueline’s back.
Dan has always strongly denied any infidelity allegations.
