Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne were snapped having a discussion outside their former family home today, 25 March. The 32 year old EastEnders actress and former TOWIE star Dan are said to have split earlier this month after Jacqueline discovered he’d purchased a property without her knowledge.
Clad in workout gear, mother of two Jacqueline was seen in conversation with Dan, who stayed put in his vehicle, outside their formerly shared home in Essex. It’s the first time the pair have been seen together since their split, while Jacqueline has been snapped without her wedding ring on. News broke last week that the pair had called time on their relationship after eight years of marriage.
In recent times, the couple had been surrounded by speculation over the state of their relationship, with some claiming that they had already split, particularly in light of Dan’s ‘secret house’ rumours.
Yet over the weekend, Jacqueline set the record straight as she issued a statement, explaining that Dan did buy a house, but as an investment, reports the Mirror. She took to Instagram, writing: “What happened to in a world where you can be anything be kind ay? Daniel and I are talking constantly, there is no big feud, stop looking for one.”
“He bought a house for investment purposes. You always have to try and make someone the victim and someone the villain, which just isn’t the case. We are a team and working to look after our beautiful children. The sources the ‘pals’ the everything else in between. Is TOOO MUCH for anyone to take. Leave us alone.”
With a stern warning to her detractors, she added, “People who make out they are fans of me… please understand that trolling and bashing another human being isn’t okay and never will be. You’ll be blocked and deleted.”
The statement from Jacqueline, who plays Lauren Branning on EastEnders, comes after speculation about her split from Dan. The pair appeared to announce their split in a joint statement last week, but since then reports of ‘crisis talks’ and a potential reunion have emerged.
Their joint statement read: “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.”
The couple had previously listed their family home for sale earlier in the year, with reports suggesting that Dan had purchased a home in his own name nearby.
