There has been intense speculation this week that former TOWIE star Dan Osborne and actress Jacqueline Jossa have ended their marriage just a month before their second child is due to be born.
While neither Dan nor Jacqueline have confirmed or denied their split, Dan has taken to Instagram to break his silence over the rumours.
Sharing a picture of daughter Ella, his first child with Jacqueline, and son Teddy who he had with former girlfriend Megan Tomlin, Dan wrote: “Isn’t always nice when your private life is very much the opposite of private… or when people are making up stories about you etc which you know aren’t true but can’t do anything about them…
“Or people judging you, commenting about you etc when they don’t know you... or when people taking pictures of you etc without control... also that the media only really want to write about you non stop when there’s a negative story to write, not interested in anything positive you do in your life...”
Promising to put his children first, he continued: “However, been sent this picture someone took and it melts my heart, this is my babies reaction when they see each other… that is what life is all about, being happy, taking care of your children, raising them the best you can and making sure you do everything you can to make sure their beautiful little faces are smiling.
“Making sure they are always in a happy environment and growing up to be the best people they can be... these two little humans are my absolute world!”

This comes after Jacqueline opened up their relationship during an appearance on Loose Women.
“I’m good – I honestly I am. You know when stuff goes on at home, it’s not normal to have it everywhere. It’s also not necessarily true. And not necessarily why you’re not getting on at the moment,” she told the panel.
She added: “That’s all I really want to say. But I’m all good.”
It was reported that a series of rows about Dan working away from home caused the pair to split.
"When he went away to the bootcamp in Marbella, it caused all sorts of rows because she's 31 weeks, almost 32 weeks pregnant. She wants him around. They still want things to work out, but they're living apart right now,” a source told The Sun.
