DANI Dyer has revealed her plans for her name once she’s married to West Ham star Jarrod Bowen.
The 28-year-old star, daughter of Danny Dyer and Jo Mas, is set to get married to her footballer beau later this year, and has been debating whether or not to take his name in marriage, or maintain her namesake.

Speaking with her mum on her podcast, Live and Let Dyer, she asked why Jo decided to keep her own last name, rather than opting to take on Danny’s.
In a cheeky reply, Jo responded: “I wanted the same initials as Jose Mourinho, the Special One. I am the special one.”
Dani laughed at the moment before confirming she will be blending the two names, becoming Dyer-Bowen once she ties the knot.
“I get it. The fact that I’m still going to double-barrel my name,” she said.
“I feel like it’s a lot, isn’t it? Like, just giving up your surname and I don’t know why but it’s like a real massive part of you.
“Why should we drop our name? Don’t have to drop our name, do we? I want to keep it.
“Obviously you add ‘Bowen’ on the end.”
Jarrod and Dani have been together since 2021, and together they have twin one-year-old girls, Star and Summer.
Dani also has three-year-old son, Santi, from a previous relationship, and has previously noted she wanted to keep the Dyer name so she could maintain a surname with all three children.
Wedding planning is now well underway after Jarrod’s romantic proposal in Ibiza last July, with Dani revealing they will have an intimate and private wedding away from cameras.
However, with their separate work obligations, the honeymoon planning has been put ‘on pause’ until they can get some time together.
She’s noted that while she would like to go to the Maldives, she didn’t want to leave the kids for too long, so instead is hoping for a three-day trip to Lake Como.
