Well now - while promoting her debut autobiography What Would Dani Do? My Guide to Living Your Best Life - Dani has broken her silence on the split and addressed claims it's all a 'publicity stunt.'
Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer
Speaking to HuffPost UK's BUILD in her first public appearance since the break-up, Dani explained that there would never be a 'right time' for the split.
She said, "It’s just one of them things, it didn’t work out. There’s going to be a lot of stuff going on about it, but it’ll be fine.
"I wish all the best for Jack, it just didn’t work out.
"It is tough. A lot of people are going to be like ‘oh, it’s a publicity stunt’, but to be honest, I’d rather be with someone going through a book tour, it’d be nice to have that."
Dani continued, "But no…it ain’t nice, I don’t think there’s ever a right time for a break-up, is there? No one’s ever going to be like 'this is a nice time, oh, there’s Christmas, oh, there’s a birthday, oh, there’s Easter…there’s never a good time. It's just happened, but it’s just one of them things."
