Jacqueline Jossa has been posting confident snaps on social media following her split from husband Dan Osborne earlier this year, and is reportedly enjoying the male attention she has received as a result. The 33-year-old EastEnders star has been flooded with compliments from admirers on Instagram, with one writing: “Wow you look so beautiful” and another adding: “Stunning”. A third fan referenced her character Lauren Branning’s love interest, commenting: “Far too hot for Ian Beale’s son!”
A source told us Jossa is “enjoying the male attention” and has had a confidence boost from the positivity. “You’re going to see lots more photoshoots of her,” they said. “She’s got a bit of self-worth back and is feeling much more confident. She’s prioritising self-care and feeling amazing.”
The split was finalised last week when Osborne moved out of the family home in Essex. Reports have linked the former TOWIE star, 34, to Brazilian bikini model Etila Santiago, with friends allegedly spotting they had been at the same place at the same time on Instagram while Osborne was on holiday in the US. The source said that while Jossa and Osborne were no longer together at the time, the rumours were still upsetting for her. “It’s heartbreaking in some respects but she’s not surprised, she thought he would move on quickly,” the source revealed. “There’s no way back now, she’s tried to make the relationship work and there were trust issues there.”
Jossa and Osborne, who share daughters Ella, 11, and Mia, seven, reportedly called it quits in March after years of ups and downs. Their marriage was blighted by infidelity rumours involving Osborne, including an alleged affair with Love Island star Gabby Allen in 2018, which she denied, and further cheating allegations in 2019, for which Osborne issued a public apology. The couple married in June 2017 at Delamare Manor in Cheshire.
Now, Jossa is focusing on her career, her daughters, and her wellbeing. She recently shared photos from an inflatable 5K run for the My Shining Star charity, captioning the post: “We giggled the WHOLE way.” She has also returned to the gym, with the source saying: “She’s now in her inspirational, powerful woman era. She’s feeling fit and well, which she hasn’t done for a long time.” Looking ahead, the source added that Jossa will eventually want to meet someone new, but for now she is enjoying her independence.
