Dan Osborne was recently observed becoming overcome with emotion in his car, breaking down in tears as the end of his long‑running relationship with actress Jacqueline Jossa plays out in public. 

The moment came amid reports that the couple, together for 13 years and married since 2017, have finally called time on their turbulent marriage.

Friends say Osborne has been struggling to come to terms with the separation after months of living apart and efforts to salvage the relationship. 

The former The Only Way Is Essex star has reportedly appeared “panicked” and distressed since Jossa, best known for her role on EastEnders, made the decision to end their marriage.

Sources close to the couple told The Sun that the strain of repeated break‑ups and reconciliations finally took its toll, with Jossa reaching a point where she felt she needed to prioritise her own wellbeing. 

Despite past attempts to hide problems behind happy‑looking family photos on social media, recent indications pointed to growing distance between them.

Osborne and Jossa share two daughters, Ella and Mia and have said little publicly about the split. 

Insiders suggest that co‑parenting their children will remain their main focus as they navigate their new normal.
