A source said that Dani feels “desperately sorry” for the two men impacted by Kimmence.

Love Island star Dani Dyer has reportedly split up with her partner, Sammy Kimmence, after he received a three year jail sentence.

A source told The Daily Mail that the couple have broken up, and Dani is focusing on becoming a single mother to their son, Santiago.

They said: “She is absolutely floored by what’s happened with Sammy. She knows she has to make massive changes in her life and she’s so distraught.

“All she knows is that her baby boy Santiago is the only thing that matters now, and she is trying to work out how to best look after him as a single parent.”

The source claimed that Sammy had “downplayed” the severity of the case, and that Dani needs “time to think it through.”

They said: “He led her to believe he hadn’t done anything too serious and that he would get a suspended sentence now she knows the full horror of the crime.”

Earlier this week, Kimmence received a three year jail sentence for engaging in a scam that robbed two pensioners out of £34,000.

The victims, named as Peter Martin and Peter Haynes by the Sun, were convinced by Kimmence to let him invest their money as part of his work at an investment company.

Mr Martin has since passed away, and Mr Haynes is currently living with Alzheimer’s.

Kimmence originally denied the charges before changing his plea. He was subsequently found guilty of five counts of fraud.

Prosecutor Mike Mason said: “This was a very unpleasant fraud against two men who Mr Kimmence deliberately targeted.

“He targeted them because they were old, they were vulnerable and somewhat isolated. This wasn’t something he migrated into from a friendship. This was something he planned.”

According to the Daily Mail source, Dani is “broken” and feels “desperately sorry” for the two men impacted by Kimmence.
