Neil Jones of Strictly Come Dancing and his other half, Love Island‘s Chyna Mills, have revealed the name of their baby.
The couple revealed in early October that they had given birth to a daughter.
Neil, 40, and Chyna, 24, captioned a simple black and white snapshot of their newborn’s feet, ‘Our hearts are so full,’ at the time.
In a series of images, the engaged couple have revealed her name and face.
Neil and Chyna named their daughter Havana Jones, which includes an homage to her father’s passion of dancing.
Talking to Hello! Magazine, Neil explained the inspiration behind Havana: ‘Cuba is the home of dance and very multicultural, so it was perfect; it sums us up.’
Neil and his fiancée have also revealed that motherhood is already taxing them.
‘We’re running on not much sleep and pure joy,’ he smiled.
Meanwhile, reality star Chyna revealed that their bundle of joy was born on Monday, October 2, and Neil’s thrilled that she’s already showing signs of being a little dancer herself.
‘She has dancer’s feet,’ said the new dad.
‘And she loves music,’ added influencer Chyna.
‘We’ve been watching Neil on Strictly from home. I told her, “Look, it’s daddy on the screen”, and at that moment, she did these little smiles with her eyes closed.’
Neil had expressed anxiety that Chyna would go into labour while he was on the show.
The choreographer, who does not have a celebrity partner this year, said that a backup plan was in place in case the most catastrophic event might happen.
Neil told OK! Magazine that he had urged his other half to ‘hold on as long as she can.’
‘We’re not sure when it’s going to happen but if it’s during a live show, we’re prepared for that,’ he said when Chyna was ‘ready to pop.’
Neil and Chyna were overwhelmed with congratulations from fellow TV personalities after the birth of their baby, with the Strictly pros overjoyed to welcome a new addition to the family.
‘Huge Congratulations 😍Love to you all!❤️❤️❤️’, Tess Daly commented on their Instagram post.
‘Massive congratulations 💖💖💖🎀💗’, wrote Amy Dowden.
Neil’s ex-wife Katya Jones was overjoyed for them as well.
Re-posting the couple’s photo of their baby, Katya tagged each of them and wrote: ‘Congratulations Neil Jones and Chyna Mills on becoming parents.’
He and Katya were married from 2013 until 2019, when they divorced, a year after she was seen kissing her Strictly partner, comedian Seann Walsh.
