Inside Dani Dyer's rocky romances over the years as she becomes a mum again

Love Island's Dani Dyer delighted fans when she announced she welcomed her twin daughters with her footballer boyfriend, Jarrod Bowen.

The TV personality already shares two-year-old Santiago with her criminal ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence.

After welcoming her adorable twins, Dani took to social media to announce the news with delighted fans.

Alongside a snap of her daughters sleeping, she penned: "Can’t stop smiling."

The reality star had her fair share of heartbreak before she found love with West Ham player Jarrod.

After appearing on Love Island in 2018, Dani went on to date several people before she settled down with her footballing dreamboat.

Who has she dated in the past?

Dani, who is the daughter of EastEnders icon Danny Dyer, went on the fourth series of Love Island to find a man.

She ended up meeting pen salesman Jack Fincham, who she clicked with and paired up with during the very first episode.

Their relationship was mildly smooth sailing throughout the summer until the dreaded Casa Amor days showed up.

Jack and Dani were in separate houses, with the show bringing in six new men and women.

One of the new bombshells was Jack's ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones.

She revealed that Jack messaged her a couple of weeks before appearing on the ITV2 competition, leaving Dani in tears.

Thankfully, the former salesman stayed loyal to his girl and the two won the show.

Outside the villa, the two rushed to move in together but struggled to make it work in the real world.

Nine months later, the pair split and shocked fans with the announcement.

Years later, they're still on good terms, with Dani recently saying: "Not necessarily love but I feel like... like Jack for instance - Love Island Jack. Me and him, we're fine. And not that I necessarily love him but I always think: 'We had a great time together'."

After breaking up with Jack, moved on with Sammy Kimmence.

She met and dated the former stockbroker years before appearing on Love Island but rekindled her romance with him in 2019.

While on Love Island, she mentioned how an ex-boyfriend of her cheated on her before.

Things got serious quickly as Dani got a tattoo of his first initial.

Dani and Sammy welcomed their son Santiago in January 2021, with the former sharing updates on the growing family online.

"We are in a complete baby bubble and enjoying every moment, can not believe he is ours, completely in love and so grateful to be his mummy," she said on social media.

However, their relationship ended when he was sent to prison and was put behind bars for scamming vulnerable pensioners out of £34,000.

He was released from prison late last year and reunited with his son. Sammy and Dani aren't friends.

Rumours of the two dating started swirling in late 2021 and the couple finally went public with their relationship in December that year.

From then on, they shared glimpses into their relationship on social media.

At the beginning of this year, Dani shocked fans when she and Jarrod announced they were expecting twins.

"We have been keeping a little secret..." she said. "Our little TWINS. So excited to meet our babies and watch santi be the best big brother..

"The biggest surprise of our lives but feeling SO blessed.. our family is getting a lot bigger and we can’t wait."

On May 25, t he new mum shared the happy news that she gave birth with an adorable snap of her new arrivals.

The sweet snap saw the twins cuddled up together in their hospital crib as they donned matching hats and outfits.

Dani has yet to reveal the names of her and Jarrod's newborn daughters, but she did reveal the date they were born.
