Dani Dyer, the Strictly Come Dancing star, has a famous husband, footballer Jarrod Bowen, who was spotted in the studio audience supporting her during last weekend's show. The former Love Island star has returned to the competition after an injury forced her to withdraw from the previous series.
Jarrod Bowen's Support and Strictly Journey
Bowen, who plays for West Ham United and the England national team, caught viewers' attention as he cheered on Dani. One fan posted: "JARROD BOWEN SIGHTING IN THE STRICTLY AUDIENCE." Another wrote: "Jarrod Bowen there to support Dani Dyer," while a third added: "Jarrod's at #Strictly tonight supporting Dani."
Bowen has spoken about how much the competition means to his wife, saying: "Strictly is something that is always watched in our house, especially on the weekends when it's performance time, and I watched Week 1 on TV with the kids." He also recalled calling her after her first performance: "It's such a big show for Dani to go and do, as everyone's watching it, and I rang her straight after the show and just said 'You've done it! You're doing it! This is what you have been waiting for!'"
He hopes she can reach the final, despite his own commitments: "It's on 19 December, which is the day before my birthday! It's a long way away, but we're playing Birmingham away that day, so hopefully we can get the win and then get back down to London to watch Dani dance in the final!"
Dani and Jarrod's Relationship and Wedding
The couple began their relationship in 2021 after initially connecting as friends while living as neighbours. In 2022, Dani announced she was expecting twin daughters, who were born the following year. She also has another child from a previous relationship.
They married in 2025 in a ceremony at the Langley in Buckinghamshire, which Dani described as the "best day" of her life. Speaking on her podcast Live and Let Dyers, she revealed the venue was not her first choice: "I really liked somewhere else that I went to get married at," adding, "What we wanted, they couldn't give us." She called the Langley an "absolutely gorgeous venue" and said a bespoke glass structure took three days to build. She stressed: "Our day was so personal to us." Rooms at the venue cost approximately £500.
TV Career and Net Worth
Since Love Island, Dani has appeared in shows including The Dyers' Caravan Park and Celebrity SAS, as well as Celebrity MasterChef and Celebrity Gogglebox. She has also appeared in films such as Doghouse and Vendetta, plus a guest role in EastEnders. Her net worth is estimated at roughly £7.1 million.
Strictly Come Dancing returns tonight at 6.15pm on BBC One.
