‘Everyone knows they’ve had their troubles, but after spending some time apart this year, they’ve decided to make the split permanent,’ a source close to Dan told The Sun.

‘Their two daughters are their main priority.’
Dan is believed to have moved out permanently last month into a house he was said to have bought behind his wife’s back two years ago.

But soon after they went on a family holiday to Mexico and made attempts to work on their marriage.

However, a source has also now said that while Dan recently had doubts about going through with a divorce, Jacqueline stood firm.

‘After all Jac’s been through, she’s finally had enough.

They’ve been living separate lives all this year and she’s over it,’ they said.

‘There’s only so many times she can put herself through living in limbo and taking him back.

‘She has mentally checked out and Dan has panicked.

He’s worried the grass isn’t greener and has had the shock of his life that he’s pushed Jac too far this time.’
Meanwhile a friend of the actress said that she’d ‘finally seen the light’ and both Jacqueline and Dan had ‘both been telling friends it’s over’.

The friend went on to say that Jacqueline’s confidence ‘had come flooding back’ and she was now ‘happier than she’s been in a long time’.

She’s also now said to be throwing herself into work and enjoying every moment with her kids.

‘Life is short – she’s determined not to waste it,’ they added.

Two years after meeting at an awards ceremony in 2013, the couple announced their engagement and married at Delamere Manor in 2017.

However, throughout their relationship, the couple have come under the spotlight after Dan has been accused of cheating on her several times, whilst they’ve also split multiple times over the years.

Dan has previously spoken out on their past scandals, one candidly telling The Sun: ‘I’ve made mistakes, yeah.

I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done.

Me and Jac have spoken about that and she has forgiven me.

‘I know in the past I’ve denied things when they’re not true, then when something has been true, I probably just kept my mouth shut.

I was a different person.

‘I take full responsibility for being c**p.’
When confirming their split a year ago, the couple issued a statement which read: ‘Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately, choosing to keep their lives and relationship out of the public eye.’
‘They kindly ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this together.

Their children remain their top priority, surrounded by love and care from both parents – something that will never change.

‘Above all, Jacqueline and Dan have each other’s and their children’s best interests at heart.

There will be no further comment.’
Despite admitting to being unfaithful himself, Dan has previously said he would have left Jacqueline if she’d cheated on him.

‘There have been times where if it were the other way round, I would have left,’ he told The Sun.
