The Love Island winner, who claimed she “loved the wrong people” but “does not regret anything,” opened up about her failed relationships with Sammy Kimmence and Jack Fincham.
Dani Dyer has opened up about her failed relationships with Sammy Kimmence and fellow Love Island winner Jack Fincham, admitting she “loved the wrong people”. The 29 year old first started to make a name for herself when she went on the hit ITV dating show Love Island in 2018, and went on to win the show with her then-boyfriend Jack.
Dani and Jack broke up shortly after winning Love Island, and they later dated Sammy, who they also had dated before joining the cast. She and Sammy had a son named Santiago, who was born in 2021.
However, she and Sammy split in July of that year after he was given a three-year prison sentence for plotting a £34k scam. Dani, who she chatted with on Jamie Laing’s podcast, acknowledged that she had no regrets about her past relationships and that she had “loved the wrong person.”

She said she “shouldn’t have gone back there” when talking about her time with Sammy. He never wanted to settle down with me, she said, because he was a major player and I shouldn’t have taken him back. “I have no regrets about having Santi, so I’m so happy I had him.”
She continued, “very civil,” for the good of their son because they never wanted him to feel “uncomfortable” as a result.
Dani now has two other children – twins Summer and Star – with her husband Jarrod Bowen. She said she sometimes feels “guilty” that her son has broken up parents.
“He is never going to know that his mother and father are together, and I always feel bad because Jarrod’s twins say “Daddy, daddy,” but Santi doesn’t.
Dani also acknowledged that she had never visited Sammy while he was incarcerated and that she had always felt foolish because she had never inquired what he was doing. “I just loved the wrong person, and I didn’t want to say anything to make Santi think,” I said. “I stayed silent.”
Reflecting on her relationship with Jack, she said that “genuinely thought [she’d] met the one” but that they wanted different things. She wanted to stay home and cook, whilst Jack wanted to go out. “We just weren’t compatible on the outside world.”
