Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones and his wife, former Love Island contestant Chyna Mills, have announced they are expecting their second child together. The news comes months after the couple celebrated with a double wedding in London and Italy.
From First Meeting to Wedding Bells
The professional dancer and Chyna were first linked in August 2022 when they appeared together on a red carpet. They announced their engagement in April 2023 and soon confirmed they were expecting their first child. Their daughter, Havana, was born in October 2023.
The couple officially wed in early July at Old Marylebone Town Hall. They shared the news days later on social media with a carousel of black-and-white photos on Instagram, captioned "01.07.26," alongside a heart emoji.
A Lavish Second Celebration in Italy
The intimate ceremony was attended by Neil's Strictly co-star Lauren Oakley, who is godmother to Havana, as well as former contestants Tyler West and Molly Rainford. A second, more lavish celebration followed in Italy, where the couple was joined only by their young daughter.
Neil and Chyna revealed their Italian wedding took place at Villa San Michele, a luxury Belmond hotel in Florence. Chyna captioned a string of images from the occasion "Mr & Mrs Jones," showing her gown and the venue's Italian garden, decorated with an aisle featuring velvet red curtains, a long red carpet and red roses.
She later shared more pictures and wrote on Instagram: "A year and a half of planning our elopement and somehow it was even more perfect than we imagined. Just us, our little girl and the most beautiful day of our lives."
Baby Joy Announced
The couple has now announced they are preparing for the arrival of their second child. On Instagram, they shared a video showing the pair posing with their daughter before Neil kissed Chyna's baby bump. The post was captioned with a simple white heart emoji.
Congratulatory messages quickly followed. Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse wrote: "Love love. This is definitely my auntie year!! Congratulations guys. Sending lots of kisses." Former Strictly pro Karen Hauer replied: "Awwwww yay!! We are so happy for you both," while Gorka Marquez added: "This is the best news guys."
Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley commented: "Congratulations my loves!" Former Love Island star Paige Thorne shared: "Wow!!! The bestest news. So so happy for you 3." Waterloo Road star Tillie Amartey added: "You have got to be kidding me I’m so excited."
