Dani Dyer has taken to Instagram to celebrate the six month milestone of her son Santiago as she prepares for life as a single mum.
It comes after a notable silence on social media following the sentencing of her boyfriend and Santi’s dad, Sammy Kimmence, for defrauding two old age pensioners out of tens of thousands of pounds.
Earlier this month Sammy was jailed for 42 months after he plead guilty to scamming two pensioners out of £34,000 at Portsmouth Crown Court in April.
The former stockbroker posed as a financial investor and persuaded Peter Haynes, 81, and Peter Martin, who died last year at the age of 91, to allow him to invest £33,919 of their money after falsely claiming he was authorised to provide financial services.
But proving her number one priority is still her baby boy, Dani shared an adorable photo with Santi and wrote, “My absolute pride and joy ❤️.
“Six months old tomorrow handsome boy.”
CHECK OUT: Love Island 2018's first ever Insta photos
Love Island 2018 stars first ever Instagram pictures (stacked)
1 of 38Dani Dyer
We should have guessed Dani's first ever Insta pic would feature her dad Danny as they're super close. CUTE.
2 of 38Jack Fincham
Jack's trademark veneers are on full display in this 5-year-old snap from a pal's wedding.
3 of 38Laura Anderson
OH, HELLO. We're guessing that this mystery hunk is one of the former flight attendant's exes. Do us all a favour and tag him, Laura hun.
4 of 38Paul Knops
Paul puts our first ever Instagram post to shame with this 10/10 picture of him looking like an absolute FITLORD.
5 of 38Josh Denzel
This adorable throwback snap was taken when Josh was just six years old.
6 of 38Kazimir Crossley
It looks like Kaz was used to lounging around in a bikini long before she entered the Love Island villa.
7 of 38Wes Nelson
The president of the Do Bits Society only joined Instagram last year, posting this photo from a skiing trip to the Alps.
8 of 38Megan Barton Hanson
The first picture on Megan's Instagram was only posted earlier this year so we suspect she got rid of any cringe old snaps before the show.
9 of 38Dr Alex George
Remember when everyone used to post pictures of their lattes on Instagram? Very 2013.
10 of 38Alexandra Cane
Alexandra worked as a celebrity make-up artist before Love Island and often posted photos of her celebrity clients, including this one of model Demi Rose.
11 of 38Georgia Steel
Loyal queen Georgia posted these ridiculously cute childhood pics on the 'Gram five years ago.
12 of 38Sam Bird
Somewhere Dr Alex is seething with jealousy over this picture of Sam in a flash AF car.
13 of 38Charlie Brake
Charlie looks a bit mardy in this picture with his boarding school pals. Cheer up hun, you've got £400million in the bank.
14 of 38Ellie Brown
Who knew Ellie was such a big David Gest fan?

15 of 38Jack Fowler
Jack's looking veryyyy dapper in his first ever Insta pic.
16 of 38Samira Mighty
A glam pic of the London skyline is guarunteed to reel in a few likes.
17 of 38Adam Collard
This is one of the few pictures on Adam's Instagram that isn't a topless gym selfie (not that we're complaining), and it's #holidaygoals, tbh.
18 of 38Laura Crane
Laura looks great in this snap with her surfer pals.
19 of 38Frankie Foster
Before Samira, Frankie's only love was his dog Elsie.
20 of 38Zara McDermott
Zara's first ever Insta pic was her princess-themed 18th birthday cake. Way more glam than a Colin the Caterpillar.
21 of 38Eyal Booker
Eyal's over-filtered photo was very much our 2011 Insta aesthetic too.
22 of 38Hayley Hughes
We're obsessed with Hayley's first ever Instagram post - a video of her taking part in the Miss British Isles beauty pageant.
23 of 38Kendall Rae-Knight
Admit it, we're all guilty of making a tacky collage like Kendall.
24 of 38Niall Aslam
A bit random but Niall's first ever Instagram picture was dedicated to boxer Muhammad Ali after he passed away in 2011.
25 of 38Rosie Williams
Rosie's edgy first Instagram picture is a departure from her glam look on Love Island, complete with dark eyeliner and a fingerless leather glove.
26 of 38Alex Miller
We're VERY confused by Alex's first Instagram post, which appears to be a goat wearing a rainbow cowboy hat.
27 of 38Ellie Jones
It looks like Ellie has deleted all traces of fellow Islander Jack Fincham, who she dated before the show, from her Instagram. Instead she's posted lots of pictures with her friends, including this snap from 2013.
28 of 38Charlie Frederick
Charlie was only 16 when this photo was taken. Look at that babyface.
29 of 38Dean Overson
Dean is best remembered for his failed attempt to crack on with Megan but he played football for Bradford before entering the villa.
30 of 38Grace Wardle
Hairdresser and salon owner Grace posted this black and white snap on a night out with pals in 2016.
31 of 38Jordan Adefayisan
Jordan's time on Love Island was short-lived after Georgia Steel rejected his advances to stay loyal to Josh, but at least he had this cute dog to go home to.
32 of 38Darylle Sargeant
We're shocked to see Darylle without any tattoos but she looks super cute in this school photo.
33 of 38Kieran Nicholls
Personal trainer Kieran loves showing off his culinary creations on Insta.
34 of 38Savanna Darnell
Savanna's first Instagram post was dedicated to her little sister who shaved her head for charity. If you look closely, you can a baby-faced Savanna in the bottom left.
35 of 38Stephanie Lam
It takes a lot of hard work to be a Love Island contestant, just ask Stephanie who's had years of practice in lounging around by the pool.
36 of 38Idris Virgo
Idris is suited and booted in this picture from 2015.
37 of 38Charlie Williams
Charlie could have done us all a favour by rotating this snap before uploading it to Instagram. We're also a bit concerned by the extremely chewed up straw in her drink.
38 of 38Josh Mair
Josh is another Islander who opted for a childhood snap for their first ever Insta pic. He looks ADORABLE in this photo with his brother.
