How Dani Dyer transformed her reputation The daughter of everyone's favourite EastEnders geezer Danny, is currently living the high life. But Dani has had a rollercoaster few years, from her Love Island win back in 2018, to watching her son's father Sammy Kimmence go to prison for fraud, and now navigating her glamourous new life as a WAG and mother of twin babies. In recent years, Dani has completely shaken off the 'chav' persona, and has become one of the most well-known of the current England WAGs. Fabulous spoke to celebrity PR expert Ed Hopkins to find out the key steps Dani has taken to reinvent herself, including the tips she has borrowed from iconic WAG Cheryl Cole. Ed revealed that Dani's ability to navigate personal challenges, such as the scandal involving Sammy, has greatly played a crucial role in her reinvention. Ed said: "By openly discussing her struggles and triumphs, she has built a strong, relatable persona. "Her transparency about her personal life, including solo parenting and dealing with public scrutiny, has garnered significant public support and empathy." He also shared that Dani's openness in discussing the challenges of motherhood, has helped to transform her reputation. Ed said: "This openness has made her more relatable to a broader audience, particularly young mothers. She balances her public image by sharing both the joys and hardships of parenting, creating a more nuanced and authentic brand." Dani is often seen supporting West Ham winger Jarrod, including during England's devastating loss to Spain in the 2024 Euros. Her unwavering support for her partner, has cemented her as one of the most well-known WAGS of this generation, according to Ed. He said: "Her active support for Jarrod, including attending football matches and engaging with fans, mirrors the strategies used by high-profile WAGs like Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham, who also stood by their partners publicly and built their own identities alongside them." Not only this, but Ed revealed that Dani has been able to stay relevant over the years due to her candid use of social media. He said: "Dani has consistently used media platforms to share her narrative, from interviews to social media updates. "She has managed to stay relevant by engaging with her followers through candid posts and professional collaborations. "This approach is reminiscent of how Victoria Beckham transitioned from pop stardom to a respected fashion designer, using media to reframe her public image." 8 8

Dani puts family first and wants her man to be just like her dad. Dani is so close with Danny and they're the best of friends so it's always been important to her. All she wants is for her marriage to be as fun and as long-lasting as her mum and dad's.' The day is the culmination of a unique love story for the reality TV star and the footballer, which began when they were neighbours, while Dani was navigating life as a single mum to Santiago, her son with her ex, Sammy Kimmence. The pair's friendship blossomed into love and in May 2023, they had their own twin daughters, Summer and Star. After some previous rocky romances, including a very public break-up with her fellow Love Island 2018 winner Jack Fincham, Dani, 28 – following two fun-filled hen-dos – is now a wife, no doubt hoping to have a long-lasting marriage like her own parents. Whispers of a budding romance began circulating when Jarrod was spotted leaving the reality star's Essex pad in October 2021, clad in a grey hoodie and driving off in his Mercedes. Not long after Jarrod was seen departing her residence, Dani emerged donning her workout attire. The following month, Dani gave fans a sneak peek of her romantic hotel getaway with the footballer. She was greeted with a beautiful bouquet of red roses upon their arrival at the luxury hotel, and they began their stay by enjoying some champagne.

Dani captioned the post: "Us forever," alongside a diamond ring emoji. The mum-of-three shared an insight into the proposal with three adorable images showing the pair on a sun-drenched yacht. In one sweet picture, the couple posed together as Dani showed off her ring while another gave fans a close-up of the huge diamond. Her ring features a huge oval cut diamond set on a pavé band lined with smaller diamonds. Dani also confirmed she will be using a double barrel surname of Dyer-Bowen after the ceremony. -Speaking to Fabulous in November, she revealed the roles her family members will play, she added: "Jarrod's little brother and my little Santi will be page boys. My brother Arty is going to be a groomsman. Then I've got six bridesmaids. Knowing Dad, he will be an emotional wreck."
