Who is Dani Dyer in a relationship with?

Dani is currently dating footballer Jarrod Bowen after splitting with her ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Sammy Kimmence after he was sentenced to 42 months in prison for fraud.

Dani and Sammy Kimmence actually dated before she went on Love Island however after they split, she went on the ITV2 show and started dating Jack Fincham.

But after the Love Island 2018 winners went their separate ways, Dani reunited with her ex-boyfriend weeks after she breaking up with Jack.

Dani and Sammy hit a rough patch in March 2020 following his court case but in April they appeared back on track, celebrated their one year anniversary and later announced they were expecting their first child together.

It's claimed that Dani dumped Sammy after the true extent of his crimes were revealed during his court case, with a source telling the Daily Mail, "She is absolutely floored by what's happened with Sammy. She knows she has to make massive changes in her life and she's so distraught...

"All she knows is that her baby boy Santiago is the only thing that matters now and she is trying to work out how best to look after him as a single parent. She needs time to think it through. Sammy completely downplayed the court case every step of the way."

Why was Dani Dyer's baby daddy Sammy Kimmence jailed?

Sammy Kimmence was jailed for 42 months in July 2021 after pleading guilty to five counts of fraud. The former stockbroker conned pensioners Peter Haynes, 81, and Peter Martin, who died last year at the age of 91, out of £34,000 after posing as a financial investor and falsely claiming he was authorised to provide financial services.

Instead of being invested, the money was used to pay off Sammy's overdraft. He also splashed the cash on designer clothes and a trip to Ibiza, while one victim was left "living on the breadline".

Judge Timothy Mousley QC told him, “You didn’t show any remorse immediately and I do not consider any remorse to be profound.

“You defrauded two men of significant sums of money, both were elderly gentlemen, neither was a wealthy man. Whilst these men trusted you, you used their money to fund your lifestyle.”

Dani is big sis to her brother Arty and sister Sunnie. Aww.
