Sammy Kimmence looks stern in his prison mugshot, taken hours after he was accused of defrauding two pensioners out of thousands of pounds.
On Wednesday he was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison and cried in court.
He and former Love Island star Dani Dyer welcomed their first child, a baby boy called Santiago, back in January.
A source previously claimed to The Sun she would “stand by” her man.
The 25-year-old admitted to five charges of fraud against two elderly men.
His two victims were Peter Martin, 91, and Peter Haynes, 81, who he persuaded to let him invest their money, after they were previously clients of his.
Simon Clark, CPS Wessex senior crown prosecutor, said: “Kimmence acted despicably when he duped his former clients into believing that he had set up a new company with which they could safely invest their money.”
He previously invested money for the pair on horse racing bets, at an investment company he worked for that later went into liquidation, Equine Global Sports Limited.
Judge Timothy Mousley QC said the fraud had been an “abuse of trust”, particularly against Mr Martin.
The judge said the elderly man had considered Sammy a friend.
He added: “You didn’t show any remorse immediately and I do not consider any remorse to be profound.”

He offered to continue making bets on behalf of his two elderly victims, and defrauded them out of thousands of pounds.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), instead of investing the OAP’s money, he spent is on paying off his overdraft, a hotel stay in Ibiza, restaurant bills and buying clothes.
Michael Mason, prosecuting, said: “This is a very unpleasant fraud against two men who Mr Kimmence deliberately targeted.
“He targeted them because they were old, vulnerable and somewhat isolated. This wasn’t something he migrated to, this was something he planned.”

He said of Mr Martin: “He ceded financial control to Mr Kimmence, it’s akin to the fox getting the keys to the chicken pen.”
A statement made by Mr Martin said: “I have been left at times very stressed over money, having given thousands to Sammy who I thought was investing it for me.”
His other victim, Mr Haynes, is an aircraft engineer and RAF veteran.
He said in a statement: “All the savings I have accrued over my working life have been wiped out, my bank account shows zero, I am sick with worry.”

Craig Harris, defending Kimmence, said: “He was living above his means, he found himself surrounded by what he perceived to be the glitz and glamour of the City and financial services workers and they would take him out to Club 195, nightclubs, and well-regarded bar establishments.
“And when the time came for him to show willingness to engage in this type of frivolity, he did.”
Mr Harris said that Kimmence saved up £10,000 to repay his victims.

He also added that Sammy was planning to train to become a quantity surveyor, after he lost a job as a City trader because of the legal proceedings.
Kimmence was found guilty of scamming two elderly men out of £34,000.
He admitted to four counts of fraud against Peter Martin, totalling nearly £26,000, and admitted to a fifth charge against Peter Haynes for a sum of £7,927.
Mr Martin sadly died last year.
