Jacqueline Jossa and husband Dan Osborne have split after eight years together.

The EastEnders star, 32, is said to be remaining in their Essex family home while Dan, best known for appearing on Celebrity Big Brother and TOWIE, is living nearby.

Dan, 33, and the soap star are proud parents to Ella, nine, and Mia, six, while Dan shares son Teddy, 11, with an ex-partner.

A statement confirmed: ‘Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye.’

It added: ‘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.’

Meanwhile, a source claimed to The Sun that the pair, who tied the knot in 2017, are working things out amicably.

‘Jacqueline and Dan are working things out amicably and have not made a concrete decision on the future of their relationship.

‘There is nothing else to it other than two people working through a relationship.

‘Jac and Dan have been rocked by their fair share of scandals but this situation could not be further from that.’

Dan has previously spoken out on their past scandals, after it was alleged that he was unfaithful during their marriage.

He candidly told The Sun: ‘I’ve made mistakes, yeah. I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done. Me and Jac have spoken about that and she has forgiven me.

‘I know in the past I’ve denied things when they’re not true, then when something has been true, I probably just kept my mouth shut. I was a different person.

‘I take full responsibility for being c**p.’

Metro has contacted representatives for Jacqueline and Dan for further comment.
