Jessie Wallace has split from Paul Keepin.
The ‘EastEnders’ actor has reportedly gone her separate ways from the greengrocer after two years together.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "Jessie and Paul recently ended things and have cut contact with each other. She is moving on and wants the New Year to be a fresh start when she will focus on work. After a quiet Christmas with her daughter and her closest friends, she is knuckling down for 2020."
Meanwhile, when news of their romance first surfaced, Paul’s wife Teresa claimed he had left her with no explanation and admitted it was hard seeing him with another woman.
She said at the time: "We’re not actually divorced yet. He walked out on us a year ago and he never came back. I had to move in with my dad because I couldn’t afford to live anymore and it’s just been a struggle since then. The first I knew about it was the story in The Sun in February when they were falling out of a club together. That’s the first I knew about it. It kind of broke me a little bit. When you spend so much time with someone, so many years, it’s really hard to see them with someone else. My dad sorted me out and told me I should move in with him and it helped me with the kids. And he’s helping me bring them up. It’s affected them a lot. My 13-year-old son has struggled a lot – I think he’s angry with everything. He had his dad in his life one day but not the next. We had ups and downs. But one minute Paul was going to the park with the kids and we were happy and the next he just changed. We’ve not even had a conversation about it."
