Jacqueline Jossa is said to have confronted her estranged husband Dan Osborne over his alleged holiday romance with Brazilian bikini model Etila Santiago. The EastEnders actress, 33, split from the TOWIE star, 34, in March after a nine-year marriage plagued by accusations of infidelity. The couple shares daughters Ella, 11, and Mia, seven.
Romance in Miami
Jacqueline is said to have been left upset by the romance during Dan's trip to Miami, which dashed her hopes of saving their marriage. She was tipped off by eagle-eyed pals who spotted Dan and Etila sharing similar sunset snaps on Instagram. A source said: 'Dan started chatting to Etila on Instagram before his trip to Miami as he saw they both had a passion for fitness. They met up a few times during his trip and really hit it off, spending a lot of time together hanging out and chatting.'
When Dan returned to the UK, Jacqueline asked him about it. The source added: 'It's obviously very sensitive as they are co-parenting, but Dan is a single man now. Jac is upset as she still feels there's a chance her and Dan could rekindle.'
Etila Santiago
Etila is a bikini and fitness model who regularly shares snaps of her incredible figure online. Her Instagram profile reads: 'I help women build lean, athletic bodies with elite-level coaching.'
Previous Infidelity Allegations
Following their split, it was understood Jacqueline was unable to move past Dan's past dalliances. The Daily Mail revealed the ending came months ago with a quiet admission from Dan that, after years of trying to repair the damage, he simply 'couldn't do it anymore.' He was accused of having a fling with Love Island star Gabby Allen in 2018, sending flirty messages to her, and kissing Alexandra Cane. During Jac's stint on I'm A Celebrity in 2019, campmate Myles Stephenson told her he believed Dan had cheated with Gabby. Dan was also accused of sleeping with a mystery woman after his wedding and partaking in a threesome with model Chloe Ayling and US reality star Natalie Nunn, which he denied. In 2020, he confessed to making 'mistakes' and said 'I've done things I shouldn't have done.'
Current Status
Dan was pictured crying in his car in March, appearing overcome with emotion. Sources said Dan's family means the world to him and the father-of-three is struggling with the strain. Alongside daughters Ella and Mia, Dan co-parents his son Teddy, 12, from a previous relationship. The couple split when Megan was pregnant, and Dan was already seeing Jacqueline by the time Teddy was born in December 2013.
