Jacqueline Jossa is reportedly heartbroken after her ex-partner Dan Osborne has moved on with a Brazilian fitness model just months after their split. The former TOWIE star, 35, is said to have taken a secret trip to Miami to visit Etila Santiago, following a holiday romance in May.
Jacqueline's Struggle
A source close to the EastEnders actress revealed that she is trying to focus on work and their two daughters but finds it difficult seeing Dan move on so quickly. The source told The Sun: "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."
The insider added: "He’s out enjoying himself, meeting new people and having fun, while she’s juggling long days at work and being a mum. There’s times she feels like she’s been left on the shelf – she’s single, there’s nobody on the horizon and she’s home alone a lot of the time."
Dan's New Relationship
Dan and Etila reportedly met in May during a holiday romance, and he recently visited her in Miami. The model is said to be a Brazilian fitness enthusiast. The news comes four months after Jacqueline and Dan ended their 13-year relationship in March.
The source further explained Jacqueline's feelings: "Jac and Dan used to love cosying up together on the sofa for family cinema nights and although they didn’t get much time together alone, she really loved being with Dan after the girls had gone to bed – he made her feel sexy and that’s what made her stay with him so long despite the constant cheating rumours."
Trust Issues and Split
Back in March, it was reported that the couple's relationship was strained after Dan purchased a property without Jacqueline's knowledge. According to MailOnline, Dan bought the property to protect himself financially as their marriage was under strain. Jacqueline saw this as a betrayal, exacerbating past trust issues.
A source told the publication: "Dan bought a house last year without telling Jacqueline until the final stages. He put the wheels in motion because he believed their relationship was coming to an end and with Jacqueline owning their marital home, he needed to look after his future. It caused a blazing row between them and the trust, which was already fragmented, really suffered."
The confirmation of their split was announced in a statement that 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."
