Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones and former Love Island star Chyna Mills have married at Marylebone Town Hall in central London, but Neil's family was notably absent from the ceremony, according to reports.
The couple exchanged vows on Wednesday, July 1, and shared their joy on social media on Friday, July 3. Photos showed the newlyweds beaming on a bench after the event. One snap inside the registry office captured them holding hands, barely able to contain their excitement. Outside, they were met with confetti as Chyna raised her bouquet and flashed a radiant smile.
Daughter Havana Joins Celebration
Their daughter, Havana, looked delighted in a sweet dress, clutching her mother's hand. Chyna wore a chic white off-the-shoulder gown with a corset-style top and flowing skirt, her hair swept back. Neil cut a dashing figure in a sleek suit.
Friends and colleagues from Strictly offered congratulations. Head judge Shirley Ballas wrote: "Congratulations to two beautiful humans." Dani Dyer said: "This is so lovely. Congratulations." Strictly star Amy Dowden exclaimed: "Beautiful! Massive congratulations to you both."
Family Feud Overshadows Wedding
However, the special day was marred by controversy. A source told The Sun that Neil's family was not invited and had no knowledge of the wedding date or location. The source said: "The whole thing is a massive shame. His close and extended family were all there when he married his first wife, Katya Jones, and felt that was an incredibly special day."
The source added: "Everyone feels like Chyna could have shared her concerns in a different way. But instead it's turned into a public matter and the whole family have been tarred with the same brush."
Racism Allegations Against In-Laws
Last year, Chyna publicly accused her in-laws of trying to "ruin" Havana's christening, which they did not attend. She said on social media: "I've faced bullying, racism, and constant disrespect from a so-called MIL since the moment I met her."
She continued: "This year, I decided enough was enough and gave her the chance to speak about whatever one-sided issue she had. Of course, I was ignored. I've done everything I could to build relationships, yet nothing was ever reciprocated. Havana's baptism was a special day, and his family chose not to attend out of loyalty to her, and they refuse to acknowledge what's unfolded over the past few years. That's on them."
She added: "But I won't accept negative comments or false narratives on my baby girl's special moments. All that matters is Havana being surrounded by love. Her happiness comes first. Always."
