DENISE Van Outen has split from her boyfriend Jimmy Barba after over a year of dating.
The 49-year-old went public with the hunky property developer, 55, last year shortly after her split from her cheating ex Eddie Boxshall.
But the whirlwind romance has run its course, with Denise telling The Sun: “We have decided to part ways but we remain great friends and our families and children are still in touch.”
The couple initially got together after All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis introduced them.
TV star Denise previously said she did not feel the need to vet Jimmy as she knew those closest to her would never set her up with someone she could not trust after her rocky love life.
At the start of their relationship they appeared to be inseparable and posed up together on red carpets, holidays and for Insta pictures.
