But what else do we know about the love life of the former Love Island and Celebs Go Dating star?

Who is Jack Fincham?

Jack Fincham is a former pen salesman who has now become one of the most popular stars on reality TV.

He shot to fame by appearing on Love Island in 2018, which he went on to win while coupled up with Dani Dyer.

The two stayed together for around nine months after the show before calling it quits.

In 2019, Jack featured on E4's Celebs Go Dating and despite meeting several girls, the 28-year-old was unsuccessful in finding "the one".

Fincham is also an ex-amateur boxer with 26 fights under his belt and represented Eltham ABC.

When did Jack Fincham become a dad?

Jack shocked the world when he announced he had become a dad, so soon after his split with Dani Dyer.

The former Love Island winner took to Instagram to tell fans he has a newborn daughter called Blossom, and of course they went crazy after hearing the news.

The long message attached to the post read: "I’m normally a very open book and share most of my life on my social media.

"This blessing I chose not to. I’m just a normal geeza, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye...which I will forever be grateful for.

"However I knew for myself I needed personal time and to keep this part of my life private to prepare for this new responsibility and part of me that will change my life forever.

"This is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s true what they say, the instant feeling of love and connection you have with your child is a feeling like no other. I want to thank my family and friends for your continued support, also to my little girls mother, who has been totally AMAZING throughout."

When did Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer split?

On April 3, 2019, Jack Fincham revealed he and Dani Dyer had split just months after rekindling their relationship.

Jack made the announcement on Instagram and asked for fans' understanding.

He shared on Instagram stories: "There is no easy way to say this and it isn't going to be an easy time but me and Dani are not in a relationship anymore.

"We will always care a lot for each other and have love for each other and I mean that from the bottom of my heart and I wish her nothing but happiness.

"We have some amazing memories together and have been through a lot but sometimes things aren't meant to be and we really did try to make it work but it unfortunately didn't and that is life.

"That's all I have to say, a break up is hard enough as it is for both of us let alone in public eye so I hope everyone is considerate and understands this. X."

The couple previously split in December 2018, with Dani citing "lack of respect".

However, just days after the split, she posted another video on social media and confirmed that they had mended things though they ultimately split for good.

Does Jack Fincham have a girlfriend?

It is believed that Jack is still single.

He did have a fling with his baby's mother Casey Ranger, just weeks after splitting from Dani Dyer, but it did not turn into a long-term relationship.

The star confirmed the happy news, saying: "Myself and Casey got together when we were both single.

"It was a whirlwind romance and shortly after had the amazing news that she was expecting which we were both over the moon about.

"It didn’t work out romantically for us, however as I’ve said previously we are still great friends and have been for around 10 years.

"Casey has been amazing throughout this whole process and I couldn’t of asked for a better person to co-parent our beautiful daughter Blossom with."

In 2019 rumours began to circulate that Fincham was dating Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry after he was spotted copping a feel of her bum on holiday.

Jack has also been linked to Celebs Go Dating co star Lauren Goodger. 

Lady C dropped a hint that Jack and Lauren hooked up at the Celebs Go Dating wrap party.

This came after neither turned up to This Morning, despite being booked for an appearance - leaving fans baffled about their whereabouts.

Things did not quite work out for him on the show as he tried to set up his own date with the waiter.
