Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen
Dani is yet to publicly acknowledge the relationship, but she does follow Jarrod on Instagram. Meanwhile, a source told The Sun:
She has been to hell and back in the last year and Jarrod has been a real support for her in recent weeks. They started spending time together as just friends but as time as gone on they have grown closer and seem to be getting on really well... It is a very new relationship but it’s lovely to see Dani beginning to move on and leaving all the heartache she’s suffered behind her.
The source went on to say that the new couple have bonded over a shared interest in fitness. And Dani’s parents Danny and Jo are even said to have given their seal of approval to the relationship. Danny is said to be particularly pleased as Jarrod is a star player for his beloved West Ham. Another source said:
After everything that Dani has been through, this feels like a fresh start for her. And her friends and family couldn’t be happier to see her with Jarrod.
