Jacqueline Jossa is reportedly feeling lonely and concerned about the future as her estranged husband, Dan Osborne, appears to have moved on with Brazilian model Etila Santiago. The couple, who share daughters Ella, 11, and Mia, seven, separated in March after a nine-year marriage marked by infidelity accusations against Osborne.
Sources close to Jossa indicate that she is struggling to see Osborne move on so quickly. "Jacqueline is trying to focus on work and the girls, but it's hard not to notice that Dan seems to have moved on so quickly," a friend told The Sun. "He's out enjoying himself, meeting new people and having fun, while she's juggling long days at work and being a mum." The friend added, "She's lonely, especially in the evenings when the girls have gone to bed and Dan isn't there anymore."
Jossa is also reportedly worried about the impact Osborne's new romance could have on his relationship with their daughters. Concerns have been raised about his potential for increased time spent in the US, where Santiago is based.
Osborne, 34, was allegedly seen on a holiday romance with Santiago, a bikini and fitness model, in Miami in May. Friends of Jossa reportedly noticed the pair sharing similar sunset photos on Instagram during Osborne's trip.
The split between Jossa and Osborne, 34, reportedly stemmed from Jossa's inability to move past his past infidelity and Osborne's alleged inability to cope with her "behavior." Osborne admitted in 2020 that he had made "mistakes" and done things he shouldn't have, stating that if the situation were reversed, he would have ended the relationship. Despite past challenges, Jossa had publicly supported Osborne, and the couple had attempted to rebuild their relationship.
Osborne, a reality television personality, also co-parents his son Teddy, 12, from a previous relationship with Megan Tomlin. Jossa returned to her role on EastEnders full-time in 2023, which shifted their family dynamic, with Osborne taking on more daily responsibilities and childcare.
Osborne has faced previous accusations of infidelity, including alleged connections with Gabby Allen in 2018, Alexandra Cane in 2019, and a denial of a threesome with Chloe Ayling and Natalie Nunn. Both Jossa and Osborne have been seen without their wedding rings in recent weeks, and Osborne was reportedly seen crying in his car in March shortly after their separation.
