Denise Van Outen has ended her 18-month relationship with Jimmy Barba.

The 49-year-old broadcaster and DJ made her relationship with the 55-year-old property entrepreneur public last summer, shortly after splitting from seven-year partner Eddie Boxshall.

Denise confirmed the divorce to The Sun, saying, ‘We have decided to separate ways, but we remain wonderful friends, and our families and children are still in touch.’

Despite their split, Denise and Jimmy continue to follow each other on social media and have photos of each other on their pages.

Denise met Jimmy in July 2022 after a traumatic breakup with Eddie. After discovering adulterous texts, she dissolved her relationship with the commodities dealer in January 2022.

Eddie moved out of Denise’s house after their divorce and is said to be staying with friends. Six months later, Denise and Jimmy made their relationship public at the Grand Prix Ball and went on their first trip together in Marbella.
