Dan Osborne was overcome with emotion and was seen crying in his car on Friday after it was revealed he has split from his wife Jacqueline Jossa.
The broken-hearted former TOWIE star, 34, couldn’t hold back his tears following the turbulent week when his separation from the actress, 33, was first reported.
Sources close to the situation told the Daily Mail that while Dan has admitted to wrongdoing in the past, he is now a different man and had turned over a new leaf following his party boy ways in his twenties.
They added that Dan’s family means the world to him and the father of three is understandably struggling with the strain of the situation.
The couple have gone their separate ways after almost nine years of marriage following a troubled relationship, which was plagued with claims of Dan’s infidelity.
It has been revealed that Jacqueline, 33, was unable to move past Dan’s past daliances during their relationship and he could no longer cope with her ‘behaviour’.

Hours before, Jacqueline was sighted near their Essex home for the first time on Friday since the truth about the end of her marriage was revealed.
A Mail+ article revealed that the ending came months ago, with a quiet admission from Dan that, after years of trying to repair the damage caused by his past, he simply ‘couldn’t do it anymore’. The full report is available here.
Following the news, a glum looking Jacqueline was spotted driving through Essex wearing a pair dark sunglassses in her black BMW 4×4.
Jacqueline, who was bare faced and wore her long brunette hair loose, appeared to be alone as she headed out in the area.
The couple have faced their difficulties over the years, with their marriage plagued by cheating allegations against Dan.
He was accused of having a fling with Love Island: All Stars winner Gabby Allen, 34, in 2018 after they were pictured cosying up together on a yacht in Marbella.
The former ITVBe star was also accused of sleeping with a mystery woman months after his wedding to Jac, and partaking in a threesome with Celebrity Big Brother model Chloe Ayling, 28, and US reality TV star Natalie Nunn, 41, which he denied.
Six months later, he was seen kissing 2018 Love Islander Alexandra Cane on a London night out.

In 2019, during Jac’s appearance on I’m A Celebrity…, her fellow campmate Myles Stephenson, 34, who had previously dated Gabby, told the EastEnders star he believed Dan had cheated with the Islander.
A year later, Dan finally confessed to making ‘mistakes’ and said ‘I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done’.
He even admitted that if Jacqueline had behaved the same way he did, he would have walked out on their relationship, saying: ‘If it was the other way around I’d be gone.’
However, over the years, Jacqueline publicly supported her husband and they tried to rebuild their relationship and move forward.
When she reprised her role as Lauren Branning and returned full-time to Eastenders in 2023, the balance of their family life shifted, with Dan increasingly taking on day-to-day responsibilities at home and childcare.
Alongside daughters Ella, 11, and Mia, seven, Dan also continued to co-parent his son Teddy, 12, from his previous relationship with Megan Tomlin.
The couple split when Megan was pregnant and Dan was already seeing Jacqueline by the time Teddy was born in December 2013.
Two years later Dan popped the question during a romantic getaway to Greece and they tied the knot two years later at Cheshire Manor House.
In 2015 they also welcomed their first daughter together, Ella Selina and their second daughter Mia was born in 2018.
The pair split eight months into Jacqueline’s second pregnancy after enduring a ‘string of heated rows’.

The Daily Mail exclusively revealed at the time that the star had contacted a mystery girl to quiz her over an alleged night of passion with her estranged husband.
Jacqueline had heard on the grapevine that Dan had allegedly had sex with the woman during the summer prior, just months after their fairytale wedding.
In her message, the actress demanded to know if there was truth in the matter, insisting that she won’t be angry with her if there is.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, the woman claimed she had a one-night stand with Dan after being mutual friends for a while, and meeting by chance in an Essex bar.
She alleged that the former TOWIE star told her that he was ‘on a break from Jacqueline and things weren’t working out’ when they met.
The woman said she felt ‘surprised, shocked, and awful’ when she heard that Dan was still with Jacqueline and had been consumed by guilt, so felt compelled to tell her story after Jacqueline messaged her.
The star confirmed Dan would still be present at the birth as she opened up about the status of her relationship in an interview on Loose Women.
She explained: ‘I’m good, honestly. I think, when stuff goes on at home, it’s not normal for it to be everywhere.
‘But it’s not necessarily true or the reasons why you’re not getting on at the moment. That’s all I really want to say but I’m all good.’
Dan was first linked to Gabby after they were spotted getting close on a yacht in Marbella in 2018.
After a fan commented they looked ‘cosy’, Dan hit back, writing: ‘Cosy with another woman. I am speaking and laughing with a friend. But of course a man and and a woman can’t be friends in this day and age can they. Also you don’t know me, don’t know how I “act”.’
Gabby’s then boyfriend Marcel Somerville also accused Gabby of cheating on him with Dan, however Gabby denied the claims insisting she was ‘100% faithful’ throughout their relationship.
At the time The Sun claimed that Dan sent ‘flirty messages’ to his former Celebrity Big Brother co-star Gabby – months after the pair vehemently denied claims that they’d had an illicit tryst.
Then, in March 2019 rumours began to circulate that he had kissed Love Island’s Alexandra Cane in a nightclub, which they both denied.
