It’s been a whirlwind romance for Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones and Love Island’s Chyna Mills, and now the couple is preparing to tie the knot. With a daughter, Havana, who is now 2.5 years old, Neil and Chyna’s relationship has blossomed since going public in 2022. The couple, who became engaged in 2023, have officially set the wedding date, and it’s been reported that they’ll be exchanging vows this month.
In a cheeky video posted on social media, Chyna shared the exciting news. From her car, she excitedly declared, “I just gave notice!” adding with a grin, “All I’m saying is Damson Idris, speak now or forever hold your peace, because after a couple of weeks, I’m gonna be a married woman. Let me know.”
The Wedding Plans
It seems Neil will be a married man before Strictly Come Dancing returns this autumn, a journey that started after a quick yet passionate courtship. Just seven months after meeting, Neil proposed to Chyna. The couple welcomed baby Havana in October 2023, and the little one is sure to play a starring role as the cutest bridesmaid at the wedding.
While the couple’s love story seems to be moving forward at full speed, there is still some tension surrounding the nuptials. Neil, who was previously married to fellow Strictly pro Katya Jones, split from his ex-wife in 2019 after 11 years together. The couple’s divorce was amicable, but things between Neil and his family seem to have become more complicated.
Family Feud and Racism Allegations
Chyna has openly spoken about the ongoing feud with Neil’s family, particularly accusing his mother, Helen, of bullying, racism, and disrespect. On Instagram, she made a shocking statement last year, revealing that the family’s absence at the baptism of their daughter Havana was a result of loyalty to Neil’s mother. “They refused to acknowledge what’s unfolded over the past two years,” Chyna wrote, exposing the depth of the tensions.
Neil’s sister, Terri, responded publicly at the time, dismissing Chyna’s accusations as “lies” and hinting that “the truth will come out eventually,” though she refused to comment further. It’s unclear if the wedding will be a family affair or if Neil’s relatives will even be invited, considering the unresolved issues.
The Couple’s Future
Despite the challenges with family, Neil and Chyna’s love seems unwavering. They’ve been through difficult times together, but their bond only seems to grow stronger. Chyna recently expressed her excitement about becoming a wife, counting down the days until she officially becomes Neil’s bride.
With their adorable daughter and a wedding on the horizon, it’s clear that Neil and Chyna are ready for the next chapter in their love story. Whether or not Neil’s family will be there to witness their big day remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: this couple is determined to build a life full of love, no matter the obstacles.
Will Neil and Chyna’s wedding be the start of a new chapter in their life together, or will family drama continue to hang over them? Stay tuned to find out.
