A huge congratulations are in order for Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones and his fiancée Chyna Mills, as the happy couple have announced they've welcomed their first child into the world!
The couple have now revealed that the name of their baby girl is Havana Jones. Neil spoke to HELLO!, where he revealed the special meaning behind the name, which is the capital city of Cuba. He said: "Cuba is the home of dance and very multicultural, so it was perfect; it sums us up."
Chyna, who appeared on the eighth series of Love Island in 2022, took to social media to share a joint post with Neil, sharing a cute black and white photo of their newborn's feet. The caption simply read: 'Our hearts are so full 🤍'. (sic)
Fans and friends of the pair were quick to comment on the cute post. Love Island star Dami Hope wrote: 'Omgggg she’s here congrats 😭😭😭❤️🔥', with Tasha Ghouri adding: 'Congratulations'. Gemma Owen then commented: 'Congratulations 🤍'.
A number of Neil's Strictly co-stars also commented, with Gorka Marquez writing: 'Congrats guys 😍❤️👏👏', and Motsi Mabuse adding: 'Congratulations guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'.
Dianne Buswell commented with a number of love heart emojis, with Karen Hauer adding: 'Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️'. (sic)
Check out which other famous faces have welcomed babies in 2023:
Chyna and Neil first announced they were expecting their first child during an interview with HELLO! Magazine back in April this year, where they also confirmed they are now engaged!
25-year-old Chyna told the publication: "After the baby news, we were on cloud nine – and now this. It still doesn’t feel real."
Speaking about the proposal, 41-year-old Neil said: "I'd already planned to ask Chyna to marry me before we knew she was pregnant. Then we found out and I was like 'Oh, this is brilliant, everything is coming together.'"
Admitting the proposal was a surprise, Chyna said: "At first, I thought he was joking because we play jokes on each other all the time. Then Neil was like: 'Chyna, so is it a "yes" or "no"?' because a few minutes had passed and he was still on one knee. I was like: 'Yeah!'"
Following his public split from ex-wife and Strictly co-star Katya Jones in 2019, Neil started dating Chyna after she caught his eye during her appearance on Love Island last year, where she appeared briefly during Casa Amor.
After leaving the villa, Neil messaged the former youth support worker on Instagram, with the pair later meeting when they attended the same party. After going on to date, Neil and Chyna quickly became smitten with each other, and now they have an exciting road ahead of them.
Congratulations to Neil and Chyna on the birth of their baby.
