She shared the happy news on Instagram (danidyerxx/Instagram)Their romance came after Dani split from the father of her son Sammy Kimmence after he went to prison for conning elderly pensioners out of £34,000 in 2021.
Dani discussed the struggles she faced after giving birth to Santiago with BBC's Tiny Happy People back in April.
She explained that she has relied on the support of her EastEnders star dad Danny Dyer, 45, and mum Joanne Mas, 45, since becoming a single mother.
Dani said: "The way they have been there for me is honestly just such a dream. There have been some long nights, if Santi's not been well, where I really struggled and I've just needed to have a chat or a sleep in the afternoon. And they've been there for me. Knowing I've got them, I am blessed with that."
Dani first rose to fame when she competed on Love Island back in 2018, after having a glimpse into the spotlight thanks to her dad Danny Dyer being a well-known actor.
She won the series with then-boyfriend Jack Fincham but the pair ended up splitting nine months after leaving the villa.
