West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen has been handed his first-ever call up to the England Squad. The 25-year-old Premier League footballer has been named as part of Gareth Southgate's 27-man squad ahead of the Nations League - but did you know he's dating Essex's own Dani Dyer?

Daughter of TV hardman Danny Dyer, Dani rose to fame after appearing on ITV show, Survival of the Fittest in 2018, then later that year, she won the fourth series of Love Island alongside then-boyfriend Jack Fincham, which the pair later split. Dani found love once again with ex-beau, conman Sammy Kimmence, who was jailed for conning pensioners out of hundreds of thousands of pounds. The pair share an adorable son, named Santiago.

Despite the turbulent few years with her love life, Dani is now in a relationship with footballer Bowen - much to the delight of her West Ham United supporting dad. EssexLive has taken a look at their relationship so far.

Dani and Jarrod first reportedly began seeing one another around three months after Kimmence was jailed. The news of the celeb's romance first came around after Bowen was pictured leaving Dani's Essex home in October last year.

Since then, their romance has gone from strength to strength, with both Dani and Bowen sharing adorable snaps on their social media pages. The pair's relationship has even made it onto the football pitch, with West Ham fans chanting a rather vulgar song about the relationship to the tune of Freed from Desire by Gala.

Dani often shares sweet snaps of the talented winger with her 16-month-old son Santiago, including one adorable photo of Santi smiling in Bowen's arms. Captioning the post, Dani wrote: "We love you", paired with two heart emojis, as the family celebrates Bowen's call up to the England squad.

Taking to both her Instagram page and story on Tuesday (May 24), the reality TV star shared snaps to celebrate the milestone in his sporting career. She wrote on Instagram: "Beyond proud of you. You deserve this so much. love you more every single day [red heart emoji] bring it on @england [two celebrate emojis]."

Bowen is set to play in June's Nations League Fixtures against Germany, Italy and Hungary. During his time at the Irons, he scored 12 goals and achieved 10 assists in the Premier League, with the Claret's star only being beaten in the number of goal contributions by Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Harry Kane, and Golden Boot winner, Spurs' number 7, Heung-min Son, Liverpool's Mohammed Salah and Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne.
