There's now already speculation that Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne could reconcile following their recent break-up. It's been claimed that there's an expectation that they will get back together once they are over "this rocky patch".
Jacqueline, 32, and Dan, 33, announced last week that they had parted ways after almost eight years of marriage. A joint statement was issued, which assured that they have each other's "best interests at heart" as well as those of their two children Ella, nine, and Mia, six, who are their "top priority".
The former couple both looked downcast whilst spotted on separate outings this week following the announcement. The news has led to speculation about the future of their relationship and whether they will get back together.
A source has now told the Sun that they won't separate for good without "fighting" for the sake of their children. They said that Jacqueline and Dan have been through "so much" over the years and have "really worked" at their relationship.
The source said that EastEnders cast member Jacqueline "loves" former the Only Way is Essex cast member Dan "so much". They added that the couple have "overcome worse things" over the course of their decade-long romance.
It was further suggested that people expect them to reconcile. The source said: "The kids are always their priority and that's why everyone thinks they'll make it up and get back together - they really are a little family unit so for that to be over something would have had to go very very wrong." They concluded by saying: "Everyone thinks they'll get back together once they're over this rocky patch."
The comments come after it was shared over the weekend that Jacqueline and Dan have parted ways. They have been married since 2017 and their family includes their two kids and Dan's son Teddy, eleven, from a past relationship.
The statement from them read: "[They] are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye." It went on to say: "They kindly ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this together."
The message about their split concluded: "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."
More recently, it was claimed yesterday that Jacqueline is making a "last-ditch attempt" to "save" her marriage to Dan, with them said now to be holding "crisis talks". A source told the Sun that they have "effectively ended the marriage" but that she "wants to try to get back on track". The source added that there's been "no conversation about divorce".
Whilst a source told the Mirror that Jacqueline's friends want her to "take her time" with any decision. The source said: "They want her to take her time and really think about what the best decision for the whole family is, but it's tough when she's so heartbroken and wants to save the marriage."
They suggested that Jacqueline and Dan are "different people" than they once were. They said: "They're different people to who they were when they first got together. They've realised they're not really headed down the same path any more and things haven't been good for a while."
The source said that there have been "ups and downs" in their long-term relationship, adding that it has got to the point where the couple had to ask if they would be "happier apart". It was suggested by the source that they have also acknowledged that "happy parents means happy kids".
