Dani Dyer opens up about single motherhood after ex Sammy Kimmence is jailed

The Love Island winner gave birth to her first child in January.

Dani Dyer has shown her appreciation for the support she’s received from family whilst raising her son Santiago alone.

The former Islander shares the seven-month-old with ex Sammy Kimmence, who was recently jailed for three and a half years for defrauding two OAPs of around £34,000.

The pair split last month after Dani learned “the full horror of what he did” and is now focusing on raising baby Santi.

Now, during an Instagram Q&A, the 25-year-old opened up about how she’s finding single motherhood.

When asked if she struggles alone with the baby, Dani said: “I have such an amazing support system! Which I am so grateful for, they give me so much help when needed, and I think I need to realise I shouldn’t be ashamed to ask for help!

“If I need a few hours off then I wont feel bad to ask anymore… Don’t get me wrong it is hard but I am so lucky that I have got an amazing family who love Santi so much xx”

A source also told OK! that dad Danny Dyer and family are relieved the couple are finished and have told her she’ll “never be alone as a single mum as they’ll always help her to raise Santiago.”

Sammy was jailed in July for conning Peter Martin, 91 and Peter Haynes, 81, out of tens of thousands by persuading them to let him “invest” their savings.
