Neil Jones and Chyna Mills are currently engaged and share a daughter named Havana. Their relationship began when Neil reached out to Chyna on social media after her stint on Love Island.
By August 2022, they made their relationship official, though they kept details of their romance private. The couple has been seen at various public events together, including a Guardians of the Galaxy event in London and a romantic Paris getaway.
Neil’s surprise proposal to Chyna took place during a Bali trip, shortly after discovering they were expecting their first child
In April 2023, Neil and Chyna made headlines by announcing both their engagement and their first child on the way, with Chyna being 13 weeks pregnant at the time.
Neil shared with HELLO! that his proposal took place in Bali, a plan he had made before knowing about the pregnancy. Learning of Chyna’s pregnancy only seemed to make the moment more perfect. He had been arranging the proposal secretly during the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.
Chyna recounted the proposal, initially thinking Neil was joking because of their playful interactions. When Neil stayed on one knee longer than expected, she eventually responded affirmatively, marking a memorable moment for the couple.
In October 2023, the couple proudly announced the birth of their baby girl, sharing the joyous news with HELLO!. Neil expressed his happiness, stating that both mother and baby were doing exceptionally well.
At the Pride of Britain Awards, Neil described his experience of fatherhood as “brilliant,” emphasizing his constant happiness since becoming a father.
Neil’s previous relationship with Colombian dancer Luisa Esse, which began in the summer of 2020 and ended in December, was characterized by a rapid progression, including moving in together after just two weeks, which Neil later admitted might have been too swift.
Before Chyna, Neil was married to Katya Jones, his Strictly co-star, from August 2013 until their separation in August 2019. Their joint statement at the time highlighted their continued affection and friendship despite their separation.
Even after their split, Neil and Katya have remained close, supporting each other as friends. Katya publicly congratulated Neil and Chyna on their engagement and new baby news, expressing her happiness for them on Instagram.
