Danny Dyer is getting married.
Danny Dyer, partner Joanne and daughter Dani
The 'EastEnders' actor was left stunned when long-term partner Joanne Mas - with who he has children Dani, 18, Sunnie, seven, and 15-month-old Arty - proposed to him on Valentine's Day (14.02.15) but thinks the time is right for them to tie the knot and they plan to do so next summer.
He said: "'It was a complete bolt out of the blue but I'm so glad she did it because I don't think I could have taken the rejection. I love the fact Jo proposed.
Joanne added: "I always wanted to marry him and decided if I didn't get things moving, it wouldn't happen.
"I never wanted to get married when the children were babies because I wanted to let my hair down and enjoy the day.
"But we have had our little boy now and we're not going to have any more, so the time is right."
Danny, 37, has cheated on Joanne in the past but he insists those days are behind him.
He said: "I thought the grass was greener, but the grass was horrible. I don't want to go there again."
And 38-year-old Joanne - who has been in a relationship with the actor since she was 14 - insists she has forgiven his previous infidelity.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "It's been hard but I've got over it.
"When you have children, it isn't just about me and Danny. I wouldn't destroy the lives of my babies for something that doesn't matter."
