Jacqueline Jossa appears to be moving on after announcing her separation from Dan Osborne as she stepped out to support the reality star on Sunday

Jacqueline Jossa has shown her support for Dan Osborne just weeks after the couple announced they were separating. The couple tied the knot in 2017 but, following months of speculation, announced in March that they had decided to spend time apart.

But just weeks later, they jetted off to Mexico for a “make or break” family holiday with their children in a bid to reignite their marriage. While reality star Dan, 33, has sparked concern over the future of their relationship with a string of cryptic posts, it appears that his estranged EastEnders star wife, 32, is pushing aside any doubt over their future together.

Earlier today, Dan, who has never shied away from his passion for football, took to the pitch at Gillingham Football Club, Kent, for a Sellebrity Soccer match alongside the likes of Jake Wood, Ronnie Vint, Chet Sket and Dean Gaffney.

While the former The Only Way Is Essex star was out on the pitch, a proud Jacqueline was seen in the stands, smiling as she supported her husband. Jacqueline, best known for playing Lauren Branning, appeared relaxed as she stood amongst friends and family while sipping on a drink.

The actress chose a casual look for her outing, wearing an oversized caramel coloured jumper, while completing her look with a large bag which rested on her arm. Jacqueline’s glossy hair was styled into loose natural waves, cascading freely over her shoulder and down her chest, while also flowing down her back.

Despite her casual attire, Jacqueline looked red carpet ready with her make-up as she rocked a full face of glam for the occasion while flashing a smile throughout the game. But just days before their joint outing, Dan sparked concern when he revealed he was considering a new life in Dubai.

Taking to Instagram in view of his one million followers on the Meta photo-sharing app, Dan shared an image of an okay hand emoji alongside the caption: “This close to dropping everything and moving to Dubai.” Just hours later, Jacqueline took to her own social media page and revealed she “misses the little bubble of happiness” following the family getaway.

Sharing a string images taken of a beach, she said: “Give anything to be back here, with the same people and just be at peace. I’ve always been one to love a holibobs, but honestly since being back at work full time I cherish the time off so much more.

“The only time I can properly unwind and switch off. Miss the sound of the sea and the quiet that’s not actually quiet but you hear the kids in the pool as they lay there. Bliss. Miss the little bubble of happiness that nothing effects. I don’t even miss the sun like I used to (used to love to sunbath) now I can’t sit in it too long it’s the time.

“Time is so important.” Last month, sources said the pair were focusing on their two children, daughters Ella, 10, and Mia, six, as their priority, and they were finding their split “hard to navigate.” But Jacqueline later hinted that she was preparing for a major chapter in her life.

Sharing a snaps herself overlooking the ocean during sunset, she said: “Can’t wait for more mornings like this.” She added: “One day I will live abroad somewhere with a beautiful view.”

Speaking to the Mirror, a source said the pair were “trying to fall back in love with each other again.” They explained: “They’ve had a rocky, up and down relationship so now they’re trying to do things differently and give each other more space at home, while enjoying this holiday. Jacqueline and Dan want to be together for their children and do want to be a family, but now it’s a case of remembering why they were together in the first place. It’s been a tough road and they know things need to change to make this work.”

A couple who had twins who were 16 weeks old and had been given the same Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) as the Little Mix singer’s new twins reveals they had to make the same difficult choice between life and death.

A mum who was tragically given the option to terminate her pregnancy after her twins were diagnosed with the same life-threatening condition as Jesy Nelson’s newborn girls has sent her heartfelt congratulations – and says she knows how the Little Mix singer must have felt giving birth.

Congratulations to Jesy and Zion Foster on the births of 31-week-old Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster is fantastic news, say Victoria and her partner Darren Burgess.

And admits, “I know how worried she would have been about giving birth because an ultrasound revealed that our 16-week-old twins had Twin-To-Twin Syndrome (TTTS), which Jesy and Zion’s babies were diagnosed with at seven months pregnant.

The partners of Darren and Victoria, 35, who have 19-month-old boys who are now both healthy and well, say that “TTTS can affect everyone differently. I didn’t have to be in the hospital for 10 weeks like Jesy, but I did have to get lots of rest as close to bed-bound as possible to protect the babies.

And I had numerous MRI scans of my baby’s brains to see if there were any developmental issues, just like Jesy did. And I was so concerned for their health that I asked, “Are you doing everything I can?” Is this the right decision I made? Is this beneficial to babies?

The couple were overjoyed to be expecting when they attended their 12-week scan, but they were in for a shock. Darren had jokingly suggested they might be having twins, but Victoria was convinced otherwise.

No, not at all, it wasn’t in my mind that it could be twins. Victoria said, “I just thought I knew my own body.” I didn’t even consider having a twin in our family because we don’t have any.

However, as the sonographer examined the screen, she revealed the unanticipated news: “They were expecting two babies.” The sonographer glanced over the entire area quite quickly. “Darren recalled,” “I believed I saw a second embryo. The sonographer said, “Here’s baby number two,” after all the measurements were taken for just one child. Victoria’s jaw hit the floor.

However, their joy quickly turned to worry when a 16-week scan revealed something alarming – one twin had no visible kidneys or bladder, and the other had excessive fluid in their sac. Doctors diagnosed the pregnancy with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a rare but life-threatening condition that affects around 10 to 15 percent of identical twins who share a placenta.

The couple from Bristol had three choices: having their pregnancy terminated, having their baby undergoes specialist laser surgery, or doing nothing and risking complications. “We never had a termination in our heads,” he said. Like Jesy, we decided to undergo laser surgery, which essentially removes the placenta’s poor plumbing where nutrients were being passed from one baby to another.

Victoria found comfort in reading other families’ stories of TTTS-related issues after visiting the Twins Trust website for support and information. She said, “I hadn’t heard of TTTS at that time.” The Twins Trust website was really helpful when I was feeling very alone and unsure, and reading about other people’s experiences made a lot of sense.

Victoria underwent laser surgery to save her babies a week after the diagnosis. They were concerned about one of the twins, and we were aware that it might escalate quickly, “she said.” The other twin’s sac was expanding exponentially.

Although the procedure was successful, Victoria endured weeks of complications, including fluid loss and numerous hospital stays. Further bleeding at 33 weeks gave the twins a sense of direction.

Born via C-section in September 2023, Ezra and Arlo entered the world at 34 weeks and one day, in a theatre packed with 26 medical staff. In a dramatic twist, a student trainee fainted during the birth.

According to Darren, “Ezra and Arlo were born with 4lb 2oz and 4lb 7oz” as babies. Elo needed a kickstart while Arlo was breathing on his own, but they were okay after a few days while Ezra needed a rest.

The twins are now flourishing despite spending weeks in the NICU and intensive care. Victoria, who praised the staff at Taunton’s Musgrove Hospital, said she is determined to stay positive about having twins.

I had time to recover while the boys were being cared for special. There is no reason why TTTS should have an impact on them in the future because they are now 19 months old and have been developing normally.

“We’ve had the additional concern that Darren was diagnosed with a Grade 2 brain tumor, which has now been removed, and it’s been pretty intense for us since they were born.”

We initially struggled to sleep because we were twins, which made it difficult to do so. We all slept together in the sitting room for the first month because it was difficult to get upstairs, so we had to give breast milk every three or four hours. They are still sleeping in our bedroom, I won’t lie, I promise!

She said, “I don’t let the fact that I have twins prevent me from doing anything, but I enjoy taking the boys to clubs.” Reflecting on the TTTS, I believe open dialogue is crucial. I tried to educate myself about the syndrome because I had never heard of it before. The hospital staff gave us time, but I never felt pressured into making any decisions.

Darren counseled other parents who are dealing with similar diagnoses to remain open-minded and optimistic. He said, “We just kept on hoping.” We maintained that hope, leading to positive outcomes.

The couple is now concentrating on raising awareness of TTTS to help other families as they prepare for their journey. They also completed the Twins Trust antenatal course to help with preparation. And they offer advice on how to deal with the extra strain of twins and send their best wishes to Jesy and Zion, their joyous new parents.

“We want to extend our congratulations to Jesy and Zion by encouraging them to accept all the support they can get, embrace parenting as best they can, even when the pressure is on, and take regular breaks.”

Our boys are lovely, and we hope that because they will be twins in the future, they will have time to play and look after one another. We are very fortunate to have them.

Victoria remarked, “We also want to thank Twins Trust for being there for us when we really needed the support. It was a very lonely and worrying time.
