Dani Dyer has opened up about motherhood and admitted it was ‘overwhelming’ going from one child to three when her twins were born.

The Love Island star, 28, gave birth to son Santiago, three, with her former partner Sammy Kimmence in 2021.

Two years later, Dani became a mother for the second time when she welcomed twin daughters Summer and Star with fiancé Jarrod Bowen in 2023.

In conversation with her actor father Danny The Sunday timesDani admitted it was a big change going from mother of one to mother of three.

“I don’t think anyone can prepare you for parenthood and the love you have for your children,” she said.

“Even when they do the littlest things, you just have this overwhelming feeling of love.

‘But it can be tricky, especially the second time with twins. I still find it overwhelming that I went from one child to three.”

During the chat, Dani also spoke about her career prospects and revealed that she would like to do more documentary presentations.

Although she said she has everything she needs family-wise, Dani admitted she wants to prove she can do more in her career.

Speaking of future documentaries, she added: “I’ve already hosted one on anxiety and motherhood, but I’d like to present again on extreme parenting and seeing how other people parent in different ways.”

It comes after her dad, EastEnders star Danny, 47, revealed he and his family ‘stepped up’ to help her raise her three children while Jarrod was away at the European Championships this summer.

He told The Sunday times Style magazine: ‘Jarrod is a great father, but he is very busy. He was gone all summer and Dani flew back and forth.

‘It is difficult to combine that with the children, so we emerged as a family, just like you. We’re just trying to raise decent people.”

Speaking to her actor dad Danny in The Sunday Times, Dani admitted it was a big change going straight from mum-of-one to mum-of-three (pictured in 2019)

“I don’t think anyone can prepare you for parenthood and the love you have for your children,” she said

The former soap star, 46, was happy to see his daughter is set to tie the knot with West Ham player Jarrod (pictured together)

Danny — who had been dating Joanne Mas for decades by the time they tied the knot in 2016 — also noted that watching his daughter have children is a strange phenomenon.

He said: ‘It’s crazy to see your children having children. My Dani, she is such a wonderful person. We have a special bond.

‘We had her when I was 18, so I was still a baby myself. We grew up together. She’s seen my highs and lows, and she’s one of my very best friends.”

Even though Danny was ‘not happy’ when his eldest signed up for the ITV2 dating show, they have since become a presenting duo.

Danny also noted that because both his daughter and future son-in-law Jarrod, 27, are away a lot for work, he and Jo are stepping in to take on babysitting duties.

Danny recently revealed that he and his family ‘sprung into action’ to help his daughter Dani (pictured) raise her three children while her fiancé Jarrod Bowen was away at the European Championships

He admitted that while it’s a lot to juggle “that and the kids,” it’s something they “just do” as a family in their attempt to raise a “decent bunch” of kids.

When Dani became a grandfather for the first time, she explained that her father blossomed as he admitted he had “never” felt like that and became unexpectedly emotional.

Speaking on the Made By Mammas podcast, she said: ‘My father didn’t know [he] would be so emotional [about being a granddad]. He was so emotional in Santiago, recently he actually cried.

“He said, ‘I love babies, but I love your baby. I’ve never felt anything like this before. I didn’t think I’d feel like this.’
