The reality TV star is also mum to two-year-old twin girls Star and Summer who she shares with husband and West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen.
However, prior to Santiago’s birth, Dani, 29, suffered an early miscarriage with her jailbird ex which led to her developing some anxiety when expecting Santi.
“It was a very early miscarriage,” she told Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast.
“When I got pregnant again, I don’t know how many scans I had.

DYER TIMES
Dani Dyer admits she makes her mum do the school run ‘most mornings’
“I was literally knocking at the door like ‘Can you check again? Can you check again?’
“And they were like ‘Dani come on’. I just thought I needed to see him one more time.”
Dani added that Santi “wasn’t planned” but that falling pregnant and losing the baby made her want to become a parent.
“I wanted a baby then cos that didn’t work out,” she said. “So I was like this month I’m not going to be careful. Cos it didn’t work out.”
Dani gave birth to her son Santiago in January 2021 at the age of 24.
She and Sammy split in July of the same year, shortly after he was sentenced to 42 months in prison for defrauding pensioners.
The reality TV star felt that becoming a mum to Santi changed her and that she had to go through a “tricky” relationship to get “her boy”.
“Realistically I shouldn’t have gone back there,” Dani says of reuniting with Sammy after splitting with Love Island ex Jack Fincham for the second and final time in April 2019.
“My friends say I went back there cos it was someone that I knew, that familiarity.
“I was 21 and it didn’t work out with Jack and I kind of knew him and we’ll probably just have a bit of fun.
“I don’t regret anything. I think every decision you make leads you to the path you’re meant to go on.”
Dani has since found love again with Premier League footballer Jarrod and the two tied the knot in late May.
Recently, Dani was forced to withdraw from the class of Strictly Come Dancing 2025 after suffering an ankle injury in rehearsals.
