Strictly Come Dancing star Dani Dyer is married to professional footballer Jarrod Bowen, who plays for West Ham United and the England national squad. The former Love Island favourite has returned to the dance floor this series with professional partner Nikita Kuzmin after withdrawing early last series due to injury.
Last weekend, during Movie Week, the pair performed a routine to Beauty and the Beast and secured massive backing from viewers. This week, Dani and Nikita will perform a Tango to Show Me Love. As Dani previously remarked: "It is very Tango'y and very fast... my head."
Dani Dyer's famous husband and their three children
Jarrod Bowen joined West Ham in 2020, having previously featured for Hull City. In 2021, it emerged that Dani and Jarrod had begun dating after initially meeting as mates when they lived nearby. In 2022, Dani revealed she was expecting twin daughters, welcoming them the following year. Dani also shares another child from a former relationship.
The couple married in 2025 in a Bridgerton-themed celebration in Buckinghamshire. Fans were thrilled to spot Jarrod in the Strictly audience last week, cheering on his wife. One viewer tweeted: "JARROD BOWEN SIGHTING IN THE STRICTLY AUDIENCE." Another echoed: "Jarrod Bowen there to support Dani Dyer", while a third added: "Jarrod's at #Strictly tonight supporting Dani."
Jarrod's touching reason for wanting Dani to win Strictly
In a previous chat with West Ham United, Jarrod expressed his backing for Dani before joining the studio audience. He said: "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 went on: "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!'" Discussing his hopes for Dani to reach the final, he revealed: "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 beautiful wedding
Dani and Jarrod tied the knot in a cosy ceremony in 2025, with Dani confessing it was the "best day" of her life. Speaking on the podcast Live and Let Dyers, which she used to host with her dad, Dani shared details of the day. Discussing the glass house, she revealed: "Three days it took to build that. All the flowers..." Yet she acknowledged the venue wasn't her initial preference, admitting: "I really liked somewhere else that I went to get married at."
Revealing it was close to Leeds, Dani explained: "What we wanted, they couldn't give us." Ultimately settling on the Langley in Buckinghamshire, Dani described it as an "absolutely gorgeous venue". Following the construction of the bespoke glass house, she declared it was "perfect" once completed. She also praised the cuisine, which featured soup and bread alongside steak and potatoes.
Keen to maintain the day's privacy, Dani reflected: "Our day was so personal to us." Highlighting the speeches, her father Danny commended Jarrod's touching address, which he said "came from the heart" as Jarrod was "shaking" during his delivery. With accommodation at the Langley costing approximately £500 per room, the venue is marketed as providing an "exclusive luxury retreat in the heart of Iver's countryside". Dani previously shared footage on Instagram with the caption: "This really was the best day of my 2025."
Dani Dyer's impressive net worth
Dani's fortune is estimated at roughly £7.1 million, accumulated through her television career. Following her Love Island stint, she has featured on programmes including The Dyers' Caravan Park and Celebrity SAS. Combined with Jarrod's wealth, their joint net worth could potentially reach between £15 million and £22 million.
Strictly Come Dancing returns tonight at 6.15pm on BBC One.
