Love Island star Dani Dyer has revealed she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage during an early pregnancy with her ex-partner Sammy Kimmence, before the birth of their son Santiago. The reality star shared her experience on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast, describing it as a 'very early miscarriage'.
Dani explained that the loss left her anxious during her subsequent pregnancy with Santiago. She admitted to repeatedly requesting scans, saying: 'When I got pregnant again, I don’t know how many scans I had. I was literally knocking at the door like, “Can you check again?”'. She added that the miscarriage made her want to become a parent, leading to her not being 'careful' the following month.
Dani gave birth to Santiago in January 2021, but split from Sammy months later when he was jailed for 42 months for conning pensioners. Reflecting on her decision to reunite with Sammy after her split from Love Island co-star Jack Fincham, she said: 'I don’t regret anything. I think every decision you make leads you to the path you’re meant to go on.'
Now married to West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen, Dani is mother to Santiago and twin daughters Summer and Star. She describes Jarrod as her 'rock' and family life as 'chaotic but amazing'. The mum-of-three recently withdrew from Strictly Come Dancing 2025 due to an ankle injury but is expected to return for the 2026 series.
