Dani Dyer says dad Danny approves of new romance with West Ham's Jarrod Bowen

Dani Dyer has revealed that her famous dad Danny approves of her new romance with West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.

The former Love Island champion, 25, recently confirmed that she’s in a new relationship with the professional footballer – three months after her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence was jailed.

The mum-of-one – who shares nine-month-old son Santiago with her ex – has revealed that her EastEnders dad thinks that her new man is a ‘lovely guy’.

“He's invested in all of the West Ham players because he supports the team and follows some of them,” Dani revealed.

“He's like: They're all my friends. I'm like: Right, OK, Dad’.

“Everything is so early days. Jarrod is a lovely guy and we're enjoying getting to know each other,” the reality TV star told The Sun.

Dani’s sweet admission about her father’s fondness for her new beau comes after fans went into meltdown amid pregnancy rumours surrounding the star.

The brunette beauty sparked speculation when she posted a snap of herself pushing a double-buggy.

"You asked and we delivered," revealing that the buggy had been "added to her range" of baby products.

The new mum has developed her own range Cherish by Dani Dyer , which includes a variety of stylish baby accessories.

However, fans were quick to speculate that Dani may have been posing with the buggy for another reason.

"Seriously thought this was a pregnancy announcement or maybe it is," one wrote.

Another cheekily asked: "Making another baby to put in it?"

While a third said: "Thought you was announcing a second bubba there," to which Dani replied: "Leave off!"

The post comes after the 25-year-old broke her silence regarding the father of her son, Sammy.

The disgraced conman is serving a prison sentence after scamming two pensioners out of £34,000.

Dani split up with Sammy shortly before his sentencing, but told her dad Danny on his podcast Sorted that the pair would always be 'tied by blood'.

She 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."
