EastEnders: Downcast Jacqueline Spotted After Gym Visit
32-year-old Jacqueline was snapped on Friday exiting a fitness center in Essex from head to toe in grey. She was wearing a plain jumper and jeans combination, her hair tied high on her head in a ponytail. Holding a drink and her sports bag, the actress appeared thoughtful as she returned to her black vehicle. Interestingly, no wedding ring was seen on her finger.
The news comes days after 33-year-old Dan left the family house, with sources telling how friends revealed the couple has been in crisis talks. Insiders reported that although separated, Jacqueline is not yet entertaining divorce thoughts. As per her friends, the actress informed them she still loves Dan and wants to make things right, although all has not been well.
One of the friends also reported that although the marriage seems to have collapsed in reality, Jacqueline is optimistic about rebuilding. They disclosed that Dan is no longer residing in the family house, but there has been communication between the two. There has reportedly been no talk of formal divorce proceedings at this point.
Jacqueline and Dan started dating in 2013, with the ex-TOWIE star getting down on one knee two years later. At the time, Dan referred to himself as the “luckiest man in the world” to be marrying Jacqueline, whom he said was the woman of his dreams. The pair went on to wed in 2017 and have two daughters, aged ten and six. Dan also has an 11-year-old son from a former relationship.
Years of Ups and Downs Come to a Head
Their marriage, however, has survived successive storms. Throughout the years, Dan has had several allegations of cheating. During a 2020 interview, he confessed to past mistakes and stated that Jacqueline had forgiven him, stating further that he was no longer the same man. The Sun on Sunday recently reported that the pair had broken up, with Dan buying a new house close to Southend, Essex. Their representative issued a joint statement confirming the split.
The statement reads that the couple kept things private, opting to keep their relationship off the headlines. It also reiterated that the children are the priority amidst the love and care of both parents — something that would never change. With the future of their relationship unclear, Jacqueline’s silent protest through her missing ring says it all. We will keep you posted on what happens next in her life.
