Neil Jones of Strictly Come Dancing and Chyna Mills of Love Island are expecting their first child.

Katya Jones of Strictly has commented on the birth announcement made by her ex-husband Neil and his fiancée Chyna Mills.

After reportedly dating for eight months, Jones, 40, and Love Island star Mills, 24, revealed to Hello! on Sunday that they are expecting their first child together.

The pair announced that Mills is 13 weeks along with their impending autumn arrival.

Jones, 33, shared the magazine cover of the couple and said on Instagram, "Very pleased for these two! "You deserve every bit of joy,"

In addition to sharing a photo of the couple on Instagram, Mills added a text announcing the pregnancy news.On a recent romantic visit to Bali, Jones proposed to the reality TV personality.

Before we found out Chyna was pregnant, I had already planned to propose to her."When we later learned," I exclaimed, "all is coming together, this is wonderful."

On a romantic trip to Paris in August of last year, the pair made their romance public.

Before divorcing in 2019, Jones was previously wed to Katya, his Strictly professional co-star, with whom he continues to film the show.

Ten months after Katya was photographed kissing her former Strictly partner Seann Walsh on a night out, the couple split up.

"Hello everyone," they stated in a joint statement. 

We wanted to share some news with you because you are so important to us as our followers and devoted supporters."After 11 years, we have mutually decided to part ways.

We will always be in love with one another, but as friends rather than lovers."What a terrific team we make, and we are incredibly happy of what we have accomplished together," they said.

When Chyna left Love Island in July of last year, Neil messaged her on Instagram because she caught his attention on the programme. This is how the TV stars eventually crossed paths.

They actually ran into each other at the same party, and soon after, they began dating.

Chyna expressed her gratitude to @loveisland in a round-up post on Instagram at the end of 2022, writing: "I didn't find love in the villa but I surely found it on the outside."
