Dani Dyer breaks silence on jailbird ex Sammy admitting they're 'tied together by blood'

Dani Dyer has spoken out about her former partner Sammy Kimmence insisting she'll always have a relationship with the scammer because they're "tied by blood".

Sammy was jailed earlier this year for conning two pensioners out of £34,000, six months after Dani gave birth to the couple's son Santiago.

The Love Island star split from Sammy before his sentencing, but has now said their little boy will be a constant link between the pair.

Speaking on her dad Danny Dyer's Sorted podcast Dani said: "'You are never really friends with your ex-boyfriend. It's a little bit different in my situation.

"Obviously, I will always have a relationship with Santi's dad, it's very different when you have children.

"You're tied together by blood and you're always going to have a relationship there. But there's still a line."

Dani added: "Why would you want to be friends with an ex? You want to move on with your life. You split up for a reason.

"I feel like if you've split up with someone just leave it."

Dani, who has also starred on Eastenders, is now rumoured to be dating West Ham player Jarrod Bowen.

At the beginning of the month, the footie star was pictured leaving the reality star's home in Essex.

According to The Sun, the two have been getting close over the last month and their romance even has the approval of her father Danny and her mum.

However, one thing that won't have gone down well with the TV hard man is the embarrassing chant made at West Ham referring to his daughter's new relationship.

During last weekend's match with Tottenham, away fans taunted Jarrod by chanting a rude song about Dani.

Home fans have also been airing their views about the romance, singing: "Bowen's on fire and he’s sh***ing Dani Dyer " to the tune of Freed from Desire by Gala.

A source had revealed: “Dani is really embarrassed about the whole thing. Her dad Danny is of course a huge West Ham fan so she hates the idea that he has to hear about her when he watches the games.

“She understands Jarrod will get a bit of ribbing, but it’s too much when they are singing about her sex life.”
