Danny Dyer has graced our screens since the 1990s, having starred in films such as The Football Factory and Mean Machine, before taking on the role of Mick Carter in BBC soap EastEnders.
Danny, 47, most recently starred in the new movie Marching Powder, but his new TV endeavour sees him get candid about his personal life.
In ITV's The Assembly, Danny is among the celebrities who open up to a unique panel of autistic, neurodivergent, and learning disabled interviewers, where no subject is taboo.
One intimate detail explored is Danny's marriage to Joanne Mas, offering viewers insight into their enduring love story.
Who is Danny's wife?
Childhood sweethearts, Danny and Joanne, first crossed paths at the tender age of 14. Their romance officially sparked in 1992, and they welcomed their daughter Dani in 1996, reports OK!.
Despite an initial split after Dani's arrival, which saw their on-again, off-again relationship make tabloid headlines amid infidelity rumours, the couple reconciled. They expanded their family with the birth of Sunnie Jo in 2007 and son Arty in 2014.
When did Danny and Joanne marry?
Once a financial advisor before Danny's rise to stardom, Joanne took the lead by proposing to Danny on Valentine's Day in 2015. It was a bold gesture that Danny admits he "loved."
Discussing her decision to propose, she had previously shared with HELLO! Magazine: "I've always wanted to marry Danny, and I decided that if I didn't get things moving, it would never happen. I never wanted to get married when the children were babies because I wanted to let my hair down and enjoy the day."
Danny and Joanne celebrated their union in Hampshire in September 2016, in the company of family and friends, with HELLO! Magazine featuring their special day.
On the occasion, Danny told the magazine, "To be standing here with the girl I grew up with—looking so beautiful in her wedding dress—that is a lovely thing. Jo is my best girl—the love of my life. Without her, I would be nothing."
Who are Danny's children?
The couple's three offspring have stepped into the limelight much like their father. Their eldest daughter, Dani, aged 28, has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
She emerged victorious on Love Island in 2018 and participated in Survival of the Fittest. As an influencer, Dani has collaborated with brands such as InTheStyle and co-hosts the podcast 'Live and Let Dyers' with her dad.
At 28, Dani is a mother to son Santiago with former partner Sammy Kimmence, and twin girls Star and Summer with her fiancé Jarrod Bowen, a West Ham United footballer. Her engagement was announced in 2024.
Meanwhile, Sunnie, now 18, regularly shares her passion for fashion and travel on social media, much like her older sister. She has begun accompanying her famous father to red carpet events, including his recent film premieres.
She also appeared on ITV's Big Star's Little Star in 2015.
The youngest member of the Dyer family, Arty, 10, has already made his cinematic debut, starring alongside Danny in the film Marching Powder earlier this year.
Danny has expressed his joy at being a devoted grandfather to Dani's children, sharing that he cares for the three little ones when Dani and Jarrod are both away.
Speaking on KISS FM, the EastEnders actor previously said: "Dani's going to Germany, and so I've got all the grandkids. It'll be hard work trying to watch it with three kids under three in my house, a barking bulldog, a ten-year-old son, and a menopausal wife. Wish me luck, everyone, because that's a combination that, init."
The Assembly airs on ITV1 on Saturday, 28 April at 10.05pm
