It has been four months since Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne finally put an end to their tumultuous 13-year relationship. But now, it seems the EastEnders actress is facing further turmoil as the former TOWIE star has started dating a Brazilian fitness model named Etila Santiago.
Just days ago, it was reported that the 35-year-old former reality TV star took a ‘secret’ trip to Miami to visit Etila following a reported holiday romance back in May.
And while Jacqueline is busy juggling a hectic work schedule and looking after the couple’s two daughters, it seems news of Dan moving on within a matter of months has left the TV star lost for words.

A source reportedly claimed: “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.”
Those close to the star have claimed that after a day of filming the BBC soap she would like nothing more than to relax of an evening with someone she has fallen I love with. However, she is said to be feeling “lonely.”
The source added to The Sun: “He’s out enjoying himself, meeting new people and having fun, while she’s juggling long days at work and being a mum,” reveals a friend of the star. “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.”
They added: “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.”
The source continued: “She always thought he was the most gorgeous man in the world, and despite their issues, a great dad. It’s very difficult for her to see him dating new women.”
Back in March, it was reported that Dan and Jacqueline’s relationship was strained after he purchased a property without her knowledge. According to MailOnline, Dan bought the property to protect himself financially as their marriage was under strain. But Jacqueline saw his purchase as a betrayal, which brought up 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.” 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.”
