DANI Dyer is engaged to boyfriend Jarrod Bowen after three years of dating.
The couple shared their happy news on Instagram today after getting her dad Danny’s blessing to tie the knot.
Dani posted a photo of the couple, both 27, posing on a yacht after England and West Ham star Jarrod got down on one knee.
Beaming Dani flashed her engagement ring, and she couldn’t stop smiling, as she captioned the post: “Us forever.”
The couple were swiftly flooded with messages congratulating them, with one fan raving: “Omg yesssss!”
Another penned: “Ahh dan Congratulations so happy for you!”
Dani and Jarrod share twin daughters Summer and Star, as well as Santiago, three, from her relationship with Sammy Kimmence.
They’re currently enjoying a relaxing holiday after Jarrod played in an intense Euro 2024 campaign.
The footy ace is firm friends with Dani’s famous dad Danny Dyer.
Pals told The Sun Jarrod had asked Danny’s permission to marry last year.
A source close to the couple said: “Everyone’s saying they’ll be engaged any day now.
“They’re a proper family – they’ve just moved into a new house together and both sides of the family love them as a couple.
“It’s Dani’s dream to be married now she’s a mum of three – Jarrod has really stepped up as a dad to Santi and they’re so happy together.”
“All their friends are expecting an engagement announcement any day soon – she’d say yes in a flash. It’s something they’ve talked about a lot.”
The couple met not long after Dani’s former long-term boyfriend Kimmence was jailed for swindling pensioners out of thousands of pounds – leaving her to cope as a single mum.
Previously, the TV star shot to fame thanks to her Love Island romance with Jack Fincham, but the pair split just months after leaving the villa.
When her romance with Jarrod was first revealed, Dani said: “Everything is so early days. Jarrod is a lovely guy, and we’re enjoying getting to know each other.
“But Santi will always be my main priority, he will always come first.
“I am concentrating on being a mum and, beyond that, whatever happens, happens.”
Ex-EastEnders actor Danny and footballer Jarrod were pictured together with babes in arms shortly after Dani gave birth to their twins.
Within months Jarrod had become a firm fixture in Dani’s life and appears to be loved by Santi, three, who calls him JayJay.
The couple welcomed twin girls Summer and Star in May 2021, and their relationship went from strength to strength.
While Dani was pregnant, Jarrod helped Santiago do an ultrasound to see how his little sisters were developing.
Shortly after their birth, Dani wrote on social media: “Our first week together and enjoying every moment of the newborn bubble.
“It’s been amazing watching Santi be a big brother he has melted my heart in ways I couldn’t imagine and he just feels like such a big boy all of a sudden.
“My heart feels so so full and so excited for our journey together as a family of 5.”
The West Ham ace slotted quickly into family life as a stepdad and is often photographed by Dani bonding with his stepson – even taking the tot in full West Ham kit on the pitch after games.
It’s not just the toddler who is a fan.
Dani’s dad is a lifelong Hammers fan and has joked about how smitten he is with his daughter’s other half.
“I’m probably more in love with your boyfriend than you are,” the EastEnders actor joked on his podcast with Dani, Sorted with the Dyers.
Even after being with Jarrod for a few months, Dani already had his seal of approval.
She said: “My dad thinks Jarrod’s a lovely guy. He’s invested in all of the West Ham players – because he supports the team and follows some of them, he’s like: ‘They’re all my friends.’ I’m like: ‘Right, OK, Dad.’”
