Football Factory star Danny Dyer opened up on how he feels about his oldest child Dani Dyer getting married to West Ham star Jarrod Bowen.
Love Island star Dani met Bowen in 2021 when the pair were neighbours, shortly after her split from her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence – the father of her three-year-old Santiago.
Despite being neighbours, the pair didn’t speak to one another until Dani was packing up to move house, leaving Bowen to make his move.
The pair continued to grow together and went on to confirm their relationship on social media later that year.
In 2023 the couple announced they were expecting twins, with Dani giving birth to twin daughters Star and Summer in May of the same year.
Former Eastenders actor Dyer often publicly speaks highly of Bowen and claims that he is the best son-in-law Dani could have chosen.
The pair have twin daughters Summer and Star together
On Saturday night, the star once again sings the footballer’s praises after Jonathan Ross discusses what it’s like to have the West Ham star in the family.
During the latest episode which airs at 9.30pm on ITV this Saturday, Dyer is quizzed on his grandchildren to which he notes: “I’ve got three.
“We call them ‘the terribles’ because they terrorise you. They’re a gift. My Dani is f***ed. She’s exhausted – three kids under four. They terrorise me.
“I say ‘Dan, that’s enough now’. They’re 100 miles an hour. They just want to destroy things in front of them.”
Danny Dyer has always spoken highly of Jarrod Bowen
Discussing Bowen and his daughter getting married, he adds: “It’s a mad thing the idea of giving your daughter away – I don’t like that.
“But if you’re going to give your daughter away, give your daughter to the West Ham captain! It’s amazing. He’s a very humble, brilliant, beautiful man who worships the ground she walks on.
“He did call me and ask for the hand in marriage, I was on the verge of tears. I was trying to be the hard man of course.”
Jonathan also quizzes Dyer on whether he still would have given his blessing if Bowen played for Millwall F.C. leaving the actor to reply: “We might have had some issues.
“Listen, he loves her and adores her and that’s all I want. It’s just such a bonus that he plays for West Ham. I
“I do feel sorry for my other daughter Sunnie – there is no man she can bring home that will match. She [Dani] has brought home the ideal man for me.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Jarrod asked Dani to marry him shortly after the 2024 Euro loss
Dani recently discussed their plans to get married and noted that Bowen also being in the England squad has caused some dating issues for the couple.
However, she recently confirmed that they will finally tie the knot this Spring, with the star having a double-barrelled last name.
