'It's really hard' - Dani Dyer explains why honeymoon with fiancé Jarrod Bowen is 'on pause' despite wedding to West Ham & England star being just months away

Dyer, who is the daughter of Football Factory and EastEnders actor Danny, is set to tie the knot with England international Bowen this spring. Plans for those nuptials have been moved forward so as not to clash with the World Cup finals in 2026.

Plans have been drawn up for a lavish ceremony, but the happy couple will not be immediately jetting off for a first holiday as newlyweds. Dyer has said in a Q&A session on her official YouTube channel: “The honeymoon is on pause at the moment, because you never really know with football where we'll be at, so we'll probably book a honeymoon a couple weeks before we're actually gonna go.

“It's really hard with the football thing, because you just never really know. I really want to go to Lake Como for my honeymoon. I absolutely love Lake Como. I remember when we, me and my dad, filmed a show, and we ended up at Lake Como, and I was like, 'oh my god, this is just gorgeous. It's beautiful.' And yeah, Lake Como is somewhere I really want to go.”

Dyer went on to say: “We'll definitely have a honeymoon, hopefully in the summer, I really, really hope that. But we just kind of have to wait until we kind of know where the plans are. Also I want to film something which could potentially be around that time. We will have it, but it's just matter of when.”

Dyer added on the honeymoon eventually being an adults only affair: “And will the kids be coming? Absolutely not! If I didn't have children, we'd probably go away for a lot longer. I'd love to go to the Maldives. That's a place I've always wanted to go to, but I couldn't leave the kids that long yet, and I'll probably wait until they're older to take them.

“We just need four nights, three or four nights, just us without being parents. I love my children so much, but I would like a honeymoon without them. That would be great.”

Dyer is planning two hen dos, one in London and another on the party island of Ibiza – which will be a more private event. Bowen, meanwhile, is set to be joined by friends and family in the Sin City of Las Vegas for his stag.
