Denise Van Outen and Jimmy Barba made their relationship public during the summer of 2022, with sources expressing that she was genuinely “smitten” with him. The couple shared various moments together, attending red carpet events, embarking on holiday getaways, and offering glimpses into their lives through social media posts.
However, in recent weeks, observers noticed a conspicuous absence of joint posts on their social media accounts. Instead, Van Outen has been actively focusing on her hectic work schedule, which includes DJing and presenting on “Steph’s Packed Lunch.”
Confirming speculations, Van Outen has now revealed that she and Barba have decided to part ways. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, she emphasized that they still maintain a strong and amicable friendship. Additionally, Van Outen mentioned that their families and children continue to stay in touch, emphasizing a commitment to maintaining positive connections.
This news comes after Van Outen’s previous relationship with Eddie Boxall ended in 2022 after seven years of dating. The split occurred when she discovered that Boxall had been engaging in explicit messaging with other women. The incident, including a screenshot of explicit content that was not hers, prompted her to reflect on what she referred to as “alarm bells” in her recent autobiography, “A Bit Of Me: From Basildon To Broadway And Back,” providing insight into the challenges she faced during that time.
