Dyer – who is the daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer – shot to fame on the 2018 series of Love Island, which she won with former partner Jack Fincham.
Following her split from Fincham, Dyer rekindled her relationship with ex-partner Kimmence, who she had dated before appearing on Love Island. She gave birth to their son Santi on 23 January 2021.
She later separated from Kimmence who was jailed for three and a half years in 2021 for defrauding two pensioners out of more than £34,000.
Dyer confirmed her relationship with Bowen – who are both aged 26 – later that year.
