Jacqueline Jossa has offered a look into her life as a single mother, sharing a series of summer photographs on Instagram. The former EastEnders actress, 33, separated from her husband, Dan Osborne, in March after a nine-year marriage. The couple share two daughters, Ella, 11, and Mia, eight.
Their relationship had been marked by accusations of infidelity directed at Osborne. Following their split, Osborne was alleged to have had a holiday romance with Brazilian bikini model Etila Santiago.
Jossa posted new images showing her engaging in fitness activities, including gym selfies where she displayed her abs. She also shared photos of herself dressed for an outing, enjoying a drink. She captioned the collection of photos as "July drafts."
In May, reports indicated that Osborne had made a trip to Miami to visit Santiago again after their earlier encounter. Shortly after, Jossa was reportedly involved in a confrontation with Osborne after friends noticed he and Santiago shared similar sunset images on Instagram during his trip.
Sources close to the situation suggested that Jossa found it difficult to move past Osborne's past indiscretions during their relationship, while Osborne reportedly could no longer tolerate her "behavior."
In March, a representative for Osborne informed the Daily Mail that the separation had been a quiet admission from Osborne that he "couldn't do it anymore" after years of attempting to mend the damage caused by his past actions. Osborne was seen appearing emotional in his car around the time of the split.
According to sources speaking to the Daily Mail, Osborne, who has admitted to wrongdoing in the past, claimed to have changed his ways. These sources added that Osborne's family is of great importance to him and that he was finding the strain of the situation difficult.
Osborne had previously moved out of the family home in March of the previous year during an earlier separation. The couple later took a trip to Mexico, and in June 2025, they marked their eighth wedding anniversary with a stay at a London hotel.
However, sources told The Sun that this most recent split is "permanent." They stated that while the couple had faced difficulties, they had decided to make the separation final after spending time apart. The primary focus for both parents remains their two daughters.
Reports indicated that Osborne had moved out permanently in February into a house he purchased without Jossa's knowledge during a brief separation in early 2025. Jossa was reportedly shocked to learn of the house purchase in Essex, which added further strain to their already troubled relationship.
The couple reportedly experienced significant conflict in their marriage, with weeks of heated arguments. A source close to Jossa stated that after everything she had endured, she had "finally had enough" and had "mentally checked out of the relationship for the first time." The source also suggested that Osborne had "panicked" and was concerned that "the grass isn't greener" and that he had "pushed Jac too far this time."
Friends of Jossa were reportedly pleased that she had made the decision to end the marriage permanently after years of urging her to leave.
