EASTENDERS favourite Jacqueline Jossa and her husband Dan Osborne seem to have rekindled their marriage on a “make or break” holiday.
The actress, 32, smiled while the pair relaxed by a pool — and ex-Towie hunk Dan, 33, appeared to nuzzle her neck as she stretched out on a sunbed.
The couple, who announced they were splitting last month, were with their daughters — aged nine and six — and Dan’s 11-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Jacqueline’s mother Selina also joined them on the Mexico jaunt.
An onlooker at the five-star, £380-a-night Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya said: “Dan and Jac looked like any normal couple.
“There were a few Brits at the resort, but no one recognised them and they were left alone to relax and enjoy quality time together.
“It seemed that having Jac’s mum there to help with the kids gave them some extra time together.”
When they revealed they planned to part ways, the couple issued a statement to The Sun on Sunday saying: “Jacqueline and Dan are handling things privately. Their children remain their top priority, surrounded by love and care from both parents — something that will never change.”
Soon after, Jacqueline — Lauren Branning in the long-running BBC soap — was pictured having secretly spent the night at Dan’s house.
The couple first met in 2013 and tied the knot in 2017.
The relationship has been rocked by cheating allegations against Dan.
He was seen cosying up with Love Islander Gabby Allen on a yacht in Marbella in April 2018.
A month later, it was reported then-pregnant Jacqueline had confronted a mystery woman over claims of a romp with Dan just months after their wedding.

The following September, Dan denied having a boozy threesome with Celebrity Big Brother model Chloe Ayling and US reality TV star Natalie Nunn.
Six months later, he was snapped kissing Love Islander Alexandra Cane.
Jacqueline threatened to leave I’m A Celebrity, which she went on to win, in 2019 after campmate Myles Stephenson told her he believed Dan had cheated with Gabby.
She was allowed out of the jungle to send him a voicemail and receive one back.
In 2020, Jacqueline walked out on Dan after quizzing him over a flirty message to Gabby, who apparently did not respond.
Dan confessed publicly to having made “mistakes”. He said: “I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done.”
In August last year, while on holiday in Marbella, panic-stricken Jacqueline feared masked raiders who bagged £20,000 of jewellery, including her engagement ring, had also taken one of her girls.
She said at the time: “I was the most scared I’ve ever been.”
