The couple – who married in 2017 and share two children together – had been dogged by split rumours throughout their union.
But despite the recent heartache – and Jacqueline’s family cutting all contact with him – Dan, 33, looked happy and relaxed at a Sellebrity Soccer event on Sunday.
Fitness fanatic Dan took part in the match at Bognor Regis Town FC and ended up winning man of the match.
He received a golden boot trophy and smiled for the cameras as he posed with his prize, his wedding ring noticeably absent.
A friend told The Sun on Sunday yesterday: “Jacqueline and Dan are on a break and are spending time apart from each other.
“It’s not been easy for them lately and they have made this difficult decision.
“Neither of them knows what is going to happen in the future, but for now they’ve decided living apart and taking a break from each other is what they need.”
Last night, an official statement issued on behalf of the couple said: “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.”
The couple share daughters Ella, nine, and Mia, six, while Dan also has son Teddy from a previous relationship.
Jacqueline, 32, is living at the couple’s £2million six-bedroom home in Essex while entrepreneur and fitness fanatic Dan was pictured at a house nearby where he is holed up.
