Dani Dyer shared a preview of her pregnancy journey with her followers after revealing she was having twins with fiance footballer Jarrod Bowen.
The former Love Island actress, 26, who already has a one-year-old son Santiago with ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, announced on Friday that her brood was growing.
Santiago announced the news on Instagram with a series of photos, including one of him holding a whiteboard with the words ‘I’m going to be a big brother to twins’ written on it and two scans pinned to it.
‘We have been keeping a little secret,’ she said with the photo. Our adorable TWINS. I can’t wait to meet our babies and watch Sani be the finest big brother ever.
‘It was the biggest surprise of our lives, but we feel SO lucky. We are looking forward to expanding our family.’
Dani, the daughter of actor Danny Dyer, uploaded more photos and a lovely video on TikTok, which began with her excitedly showing off two positive pregnancy tests.

Dani can then be heard asking Santiago, who is chewing on a sweet treat, that there is a ‘baby in mummy’s tummy, are you going to be a big brother?’ , with the toddler repeating “Baby” back to her.
The soon-to-be mother-of-three then posts a series of photos, each with her growing baby bump, including one of Santiago affectionately massaging her swelling belly.
The video then cuts to photos of the scans and two gorgeous baby grows, one with the words ‘Friends forever’ and the other with the words ‘Born together.’
Dani rose to prominence after winning the 2018 edition of ITV’s famous show Love Island with her former lover Jack Fincham. They ended their relationship nine months after the show concluded.
Dani gave birth to Santiago on January 23, 2021, with Kimmence, whom she dated before appearing on Love Island and then revived their romance following her divorce from Jack.
Dani later divorced Kimmence, who was sentenced to three and a half years in prison in 2021 for cheating two elderly out of more than £34,000.
She married Premier League footballer Jarrod, 26, in 2021 after going Instagram official in December of that year.
He is a West Ham United and England national team player who has previously played for Hereford United and Hull City.
Dani has also been on a number of shows with her soap actor father, and they co-host a podcast called Sorted With The Dyers.
Dani made an appearance in EastEnders in 2021 as Jeanette, a pregnant cab driver who picked up Danny’s character from Albert Square.
