Dani Dyer and her husband Jarrod Bowen appeared more enamored than ever as they indulged in a romantic Valentine's weekend escape at the exclusive Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire. The reality television star and the professional footballer, both aged 29, relished a child-free retreat at the opulent country house and private members' club, where nightly rates commence from £1,400.
A Luxurious Romantic Escape
The couple, who exchanged vows last year, dedicated quality time to each other during their getaway. They embarked on leisurely walks around the estate despite the rainy weather, later unwinding with cocktails in the evening. Dani showcased her impeccable style in a chic black minidress, complemented by tights and a pair of burgundy stilettos as they headed out for dinner.
Intimate Moments Captured
The Love Island champion and the West Ham winger shared tender moments, cozying up and holding hands while posing for photographs together. Dani simply captioned a social media post with the word 'Valentines', encapsulating their affectionate celebration. The pair also enjoyed breakfast and coffee at the lavish manor, with Dani highlighting her fashionable 'love' printed tights and red stilettos in snapshots from the trip.
Family Life and Personal Struggles
Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen are proud parents to two-year-old twins Summer and Star. Additionally, Dani is mother to four-year-old son Santiago, whom she shares with her former partner Sammy Kimmence. In a recent appearance on Ellis Ranson's Talk In Wardrobe podcast, Dani opened up about her struggles with confidence following motherhood.
She candidly discussed the challenges of adapting to her changed body, stating, 'The first year after becoming a mum, I used to torture myself and try and put my old jeans on.' Dani revealed that her mother advised her to discard those items, emphasizing the difficulty of navigating this transitional phase. She added, 'It is trying to find yourself again. I think after you become a mum you drastically change and then you do have to find new looks.'
Offering Support to Other Mothers
Providing advice to fellow mothers, Dani acknowledged the fluctuations in confidence, remarking, 'I think with confidence we do have our ups and downs, don’t we? Especially as a woman, like we only really have a certain cycle of the month where we actually feel normal. We all struggle with confidence.' Her heartfelt reflections resonate with many women experiencing similar post-pregnancy adjustments.
Past Challenges and Resilience
Last year, Dani heartbreakingly disclosed that she suffered a miscarriage before welcoming her son Santiago. During an appearance on Jamie Laing's In Great Company Podcast, she shared, 'Just before Santi, I got pregnant, and then that didn't work out. Because it didn't work out, I wanted a baby, so I wasn't careful.'
She expressed initial nervousness about informing her parents but noted their eventual happiness for her. Dani also spoke about her past relationship with Santiago's father, describing it as 'hell' and acknowledging his reluctance to settle down. Despite the difficulties, she affirmed, 'I don't regret anything... having Santi changed me as a person, so I'm so glad I had my Sant.'
Building a Blended Family
Dani emphasized the importance of maintaining civility with her ex-partner for the sake of their son, stating, 'I will always be very civil to him because that's Santi's dad.' She also shared feelings of guilt when Jarrod returns home, as the twins excitedly greet him while Santiago does not have that same experience. Dani married Jarrod Bowen in an outdoor ceremony at the Langley Hotel in Iver, Buckinghamshire, on May 31, 2025, marking a new chapter in their lives together.
