Dan Osborne has reportedly undertaken a secret trip to Miami to visit a Brazilian model with whom he is believed to have had a holiday romance earlier this year. The alleged visit comes after his split from his wife, Jacqueline Jossa.
Jossa, an EastEnders actress, and Osborne, a former TOWIE star, separated in March after nine years of marriage. Their relationship had been reportedly marked by accusations of infidelity against Osborne.
Shortly after their separation, claims emerged that Osborne had a holiday fling with model Etila Santiago. Sources indicated this dashed any hopes of reconciliation.
It was reported that Jossa confronted Osborne about his alleged connection with Santiago after friends alerted her to matching sunset photos posted on Instagram by both Osborne and Santiago during his trip. Osborne is now said to have visited Santiago again in Miami while the World Cup is underway.
A source told The Sun that Osborne "really enjoys spending time with Etila. They both love working out and are following the World Cup avidly."
In May, reports detailed the beginning of their alleged romance, with a source stating that Osborne and Santiago began chatting on Instagram due to a shared passion for fitness. They reportedly met several times during Osborne's Miami trip and "really hit it off."
Santiago is described as a bikini and fitness model who frequently shares photos of her physique online. Her professional profile indicates she coaches women on building lean, athletic bodies.
Osborne and Jossa have not publicly addressed their breakup. Both have been observed without their wedding rings in recent months. Osborne was reportedly seen crying in his car in March, appearing emotional following the end of his relationship.
Sources close to the situation have suggested that while Osborne has admitted past wrongdoing, he has changed his ways. These sources claim his family is extremely important to him, and he is finding the current strain of the situation difficult.
