Soap opera actress Jacqueline Jossa was spotted spending quality time with her children in a video she shared with her fans this week, following the news of her separation from her husband Dan Osborne. The announcement of their split came over the weekend, confirming that Jacqueline, 32, and Dan, 33, have decided to go their separate ways after months of speculation about their relationship.
In a statement addressing their separation, it was emphasized that their two daughters, Ella, nine, and Mia, six, remain their top priority. Jacqueline, known for her role as Lauren Branning on the BBC soap opera, recently shared a video on her Instagram Story showing her engaging in a game with her daughters and two other children.
The game involved participants making noises while someone tried to identify them solely by their voices, a popular trend on social media. Despite initially mistaking two of their friends for her daughters, Jacqueline successfully recognized Ella and Mia’s voices, eliciting laughter from the kids during the game.
The video surfaced shortly after the public announcement of Jacqueline and Dan’s separation. The couple, who met in 2013 and tied the knot four years later, have a blended family that includes their two daughters and Dan’s son Teddy, eleven, from a previous relationship. While rumors of their split circulated earlier this year, it was confirmed recently that they have indeed parted ways.
In a joint statement, Jacqueline and Dan expressed their commitment to handling the situation privately and maintaining their children’s well-being as their primary focus. They requested respect and privacy from the public as they navigate this challenging time together.
Following the news, Dan was seen without his wedding ring at a charity football event, while Jacqueline was photographed smiling without her ring as well. Both individuals have been observed moving forward with their lives independently, portraying a sense of positivity amidst the recent changes in their personal circumstances.
