Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne hint at marriage strife in cryptic Instagram posts as she admits 'I miss the little bubble of happiness' hours after the TOWIE star said he's 'close to dropping everything'
Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne seemingly dropped hints about problems in their marriage in cryptic Instagram posts shared hours apart on Wednesday.
The EastEnders actress, 32, and former TOWIE star, 33, who tied the knot in 2017, were thought to have called it quits last month after eight years of marriage.
In an attempt to save their relationship, the couple jetted off on a 'make or break' family holiday in Mexico last month.
Despite the loved-up PDA trip in the idyllic destination, Jacqueline and Dan have hinted at trouble in paradise in a series of troubling posts.
'This close to dropping everything & moving to Dubai ', Dan wrote alongside a picture of an okay hand emoji.
Hours after, Jacqueline further sparked concern as she admitted she 'misses the little bubble of happiness' from a recent trip away.
Sharing pictures of a stunning beach, she penned: '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 [sic].'
While she didn't reveal what holiday she wishes to go back too, her latest trip away was with husband Dan and their children.
MailOnline has contacted Jacqueline and Dan's representatives for comment.
During the trip in April, they couldn't keep their hands off one another while soaking up the sun in a lavish resort.
At the time, it was claimed they were said to be already living separately after he 'reignited old trust issues'.
Earlier this month, Jacqueline was spotted without her wedding ring as she left an Essex gym.
Her £7,000 engagement ring was stolen during £20,000 raid at their villa in Marbella.
Previously speaking about how upsetting the raid was, Jacqueline said: 'Dan had saved for months and months about ten years ago for that ring, and that was really important to me.
'That's the thing I'm most upset about that's gone because I feel like we all know that me and Dan have been through lots of ups and downs, but I really feel like the ring was the thing that was always a part of our relationship.
'So I'm gutted that's gone. But again, I'm just glad it wasn't a kid.'
Amid their marital woes, reports emerged that the couple's friends are not sure they should be giving their romance another try.
A source previously told OK! magazine that Dan and Jacqueline are trying to 'work out what's best for their children' and are not prioritising a romantic relationship at present.
The insider continued: 'But they've been on such different paths and some of Jac's close friends don't see her future being with Dan.
'They believe they'll make excellent co-parents but they want Jac - and Dan - to be as happy as possible, and they're not convinced that means them staying together.'
MailOnline contacted representatives of Jacqueline and Dan for comment at the time.
At the end of March, Jacqueline thanked husband Dan for making her Mother's Day 'so special' in a gushing post, despite claims their marriage is 'over'.
She took to her Instagram Stories with a snap of a huge bouquet.
Taking to her Instagram Jacqueline gushed: 'Thank you for making my Mother's Day so special @DanOsvorneofficial'.
Before adding: 'And now I'm finally at the grown age of 32... into flowers so can appreciate them'.
And Dan shared another sign that they could be back together as he posted for Mother's Day - with the whole family enjoying the morning together.
He shared a snap of her with their daughters and penned a sweet message.
It read: 'Happy Mother's Day @jacjossa. Our girls are lucky to have you as their mummy.'

Lydia Bright shares message of support from mum Debbie after James Argent's ex Nicolline slammed Towie star & her family
LYDIA Bright has admitted it's been a "whirlwind week" after James Argent's ex Nicoline slammed the Towie star and her family. Yesterday James' ex-girlfriend Nicoline Artursson hit out at his "controlling ex" for causing major issues with their ill-fated relationship. 5 5 5 In an 800-word statement, Nicoline finally spoke in depth about the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of James, 37, last month. The Swedish beauty. 32, queen was injured after being pushed down steps outside the home they shared in Spain. He was arrested and spent several hours in police cells before admitting a charge of domestic violence in court. Nicoline has claimed former Towie star Lydia - who dated Arg on/off between 2007 to 2016 - was an unwelcome, interfering presence during their year together. Earlier today, Lydia, 34, took to Instagram to share a card that she received from her parents Debbie Douglas and Dave Bright. The message read: "We are so proud of you. Keep your face to the sun and keep shining. Mummy and Daddy." In front of the card, it said: "Keep shining bright." Lydia captioned it: "After a whirlwind week, this is exactly what I needed, a slow morning. "Banana pancakes, Disney on the sofa and a catch up with mum and dad." She also shared a photo of a sunflower that her mum bought her and said it's "a burst of sunshine, positivity and happiness." Lydia's supportive message from her parents comes just hours after James' ex Nicoline issued a social media statement. The model said: "I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. 'Three's a crowd', they say. 'I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO. 'I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue.' Nicoline continued: 'After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries. 'He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months. 'But he didn't. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history.' Domestic abuse - how to get help DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship: Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten. Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent. If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers: Remember, you are not alone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime. Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. Argent and Lydia's love story started off screen nearly two decades ago when they were teens and their drama-filled romance made legendary TV on the ITVBe show - gripping viewers with its constant twists and turns. They split in 2012, and Argent was accused of calling her a "sl*t" in text messages after learning she'd slept with someone else following their separation. Despite this, they have maintained a close friendship and Lydia views Argent as an uncle to her daughter, Loretta, five. She has stuck by her ex and close friend following his arrest and insists he's not a violent man. A friend who knows both Lydia and Arg very well tells The Sun: 'When it comes to what happened with Arg and Nicoline, Lydia would never condone violence and has made that very clear to James, but she doesn't think that he is a violent man and she knows he deeply regrets the events of that night. "She has stuck by him, even though she doesn't agree with his actions - just as his other mates like Mark Wright have." Lydia was also there for Argent when his weight ballooned to nearly 30 stone amid drug and food addiction. Nicoline Artursson's statement in full It's now been a month. I still can't believe it. My fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside. I've been quiet long enough. Silence protects no one - and it almost destroyed me. What started as a love story sadly turned into something else. Behind the pictures, promises and the plans for a life together - the beautiful days - changed into something into sadness with emotional manipulation and eventually physical harm. I loved deeply, believed in our future and stood by someone I thought would protect me and instead I was left alone and harmed in ways I never imagined. I was not only failed by him but deeply affected by the presence of unresolved ties to his past. Yes I posted an Instagram story with a simple yes or no question about if your ex should be a part of your present relationship. I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. 'Three's a crowd', they say. I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO. I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue. The ex and her family put us through so much misery and false accusations, I won't go into details. They had no reason whatsoever to do what they did to us, but for some reason they wouldn't let go and let us enjoy our love. Everybody knows that real friends support you and want to see you happy. So I posted a story on Instagram. After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries. He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months. But he didn't. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history. I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured. Thanks to incredible neighbours who heard and saw what happened and acted, I got help. They called police, brought me to safety and ensured the incident was taken seriously. A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past - including exes. Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much - it's all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are. There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse - no matter how much love preceded it. To those who questioned me for staying as long as I did: I stayed because I believed in love. I believed he and we could grow, could heal, could choose peace. But love doesn't survive in chaos. And it cannot survive where violence lives. To every woman reading this: if you've ever questioned your worth, your safety or your sanity in a relationship - this is your sign. You deserved to be loved with care and integrity. And you are not alone. To the men: real strength is protection. Real love is safe. Be the kind of man who lifts women up - not one who breaks them down, neither by violence or silence. To the future: never say never. I will get the little family I've always dreamed of and have my dream wedding to symbolise and celebrate true love in front of my dear family and friends. I'm healing now. Slowly, bravely and unapologetically. I will rise and I will use my voice - not for vengeance but for truth. For every woman who's been silenced by someone who said 'I love you' and then proved otherwise. This is not just my story. It's a reminder: abuse - whether emotional, psychological or physical - has no place in love. 5 5
