Danniella Westbrook Takes Aim at Ex-Husband Kevin Jenkins in Tell-All Book

Danniella Westbrook, the former EastEnders actress, has publicly criticized her millionaire ex-husband Kevin Jenkins in a scathing rant on Instagram. She announced her upcoming tell-all book, in which she plans to expose the secrets that tore their family apart. Westbrook accuses Jenkins of infidelity, which she claims led to her drug relapse when their marriage ended.

Marriage Breakdown and Revelations

Westbrook and Jenkins ended their 13-year marriage in 2014. In an Instagram post featuring photos from their failed marriage, the soap star stated, "So my new book will be a true strong story of a life, marriage, and family torn apart by more than what was reported in the press."

In the book, Westbrook promises to delve into "child abuse to child star to addict to mother to right now." She reveals that her supposedly perfect husband, who was portrayed as a millionaire who loved their family in the press, cheated on her with another woman throughout their marriage. The truth, she claims, shattered their family and led to her relapse.

Westbrook emphasizes that she will no longer protect anyone's secrets, as she aims to heal from the trauma caused by those who betrayed her. Her book will feature quotes from people who have witnessed her journey throughout her life.

Public Divorce Request and Current Relationship

In 2019, on Jenkins' birthday, Westbrook publicly asked him for a divorce on Twitter. She tweeted, "After 5 years of asking, please let me give you this GIFT." She clarified that her request was not about money or possessions but simply the signed divorce papers.

Westbrook shares a daughter, Jodie, 22, with Jenkins and has a son, Kai, 26, from a previous relationship. Despite their divorce, she has recently reunited with her fiance, David, and shared a photo with him on Instagram, captioned "lucky to have you x."

Wedding Dress Shopping and Relationship Update

Westbrook and David have recently gone wedding dress shopping together, indicating that they have reconciled. The actress shared a video from a bridal boutique, hinting that their relationship is back on track. Speculation arises about a potential proposal, as Westbrook previously mentioned waiting for David's release from prison to propose.

It is reported that David is currently serving time in prison for involvement in counterfeit goods and physical altercations. However, he is expected to be released in September, just before Westbrook's 50th birthday.

Throughout her life, Westbrook has battled cocaine addiction, which has been widely documented. She has openly shared her struggles, including using up to 11 bags of cocaine per day before participating in Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.
