Days of Our Lives fans are still reeling after the jaw-dropping reveal that Sami Brady — Salem’s most unpredictable woman — is officially

engaged again! This time, the lucky man (or is he?) is Dante Vitali, a mysterious and dangerously charming figure whose sudden appearance has already set the entire town on edge.

 

 

But who is Dante Vitali, and what secrets is he hiding? Spoilers and behind-the-scenes whispers suggest there’s much more to him than meets the eye — and his connection to several Salem residents could blow open a scandal that changes everything.

Here are 5 shocking things you need to know about Sami’s new fiancé and the storm he’s about to unleash.

💍 1. Dante Vitali Isn’t Just a “Businessman” — He’s Tied to Salem’s Criminal Underground

 

 

When Dante first appeared, he introduced himself as an international businessman who met Sami during her time abroad. He’s polished, wealthy, and knows exactly how to charm — but Days fans immediately sensed something off.

According to sources, Dante’s background is far darker than he lets on. Rumors hint that he’s connected to the DiMera crime network, with ties stretching back to Stefano himself. Some spoilers even suggest that Dante once worked as a financial fixer for EJ DiMera — which could make his sudden relationship with Sami a strategic move rather than a romantic one.

 

 

“He’s not just here for love,” one insider teases. “He’s here to finish something that started years ago.”

If that’s true, Dante may not only be using Sami… he could be targeting the DiMera family from within.

💔 2. His Connection to EJ Runs Deeper Than Anyone Realizes

The tension between EJ DiMera and Dante Vitali is about to explode. While Sami insists her new fiancé is nothing like EJ, fans suspect the two share a bitter past.

 

 

Recent leaks claim Dante once betrayed EJ during a high-stakes European deal — a betrayal that ended with millions lost and EJ swearing revenge. That would explain EJ’s visible fury in recent episodes, when he confronted Sami and demanded she “open her eyes before it’s too late.”

“You think you’ve found a man who loves you?” EJ warned. “You’ve found someone who wants to destroy me — and you’re his weapon.”

Could EJ be right? If Dante’s real motive is vengeance, then Sami might be walking straight into the deadliest trap Salem has ever seen.

😱 3. Dante Has a Hidden Family — and One of Them Already Lives in Salem

As if that weren’t enough drama, Days spoilers reveal that Dante has been hiding something huge from Sami: he’s already been married — and he has a teenage daughter living under a different name.

Whispers say his ex-wife fled from him years ago after discovering his criminal ties. Even more shocking? His daughter is rumored to be closely connected to one of Sami’s own children, possibly attending the same school or social circle.

If Sami discovers she’s engaged to a man who’s been lying about his entire family, her legendary temper might reach new heights — and Dante’s carefully crafted façade could collapse overnight.

🧨 4. A Connection to Clyde Weston Could Change Everything

Salem’s most dangerous villain, Clyde Weston, is said to have ties to Dante from their time in the European underground. A leaked scene description shows Clyde in prison receiving a mysterious letter — believed to be from Dante — warning him that “the time has come to collect.”

Fans are now theorizing that Dante might be part of a bigger operation, working with Clyde to rebuild a power network inside Salem. If true, Sami could unintentionally be marrying the man helping to bring chaos back to her hometown.

“You can’t trust anyone who smiles that easily in Salem,” one fan joked online. “Especially not when Clyde’s name starts getting mentioned.”
