Neil Jones, 40, has announced his engagement to Love Island’s Chyna Mills and that they are expecting their first child together.
In an interview with HELLO! Neil admitted he asked Chyna to marry him before the pregnancy news.
The couple got engaged after seven months together, with Chyna saying of the surprise proposal: “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!’

One of the first of the couple’s pals to be told the happy news was fellow Strictly star Tyler West.
Tyler starred in the latest series of Strictly and was partnered with Dianne Buswell.
Recalling the moment Tyler found out, Neil said: “We FaceTimed him, then said: ‘We just sent you something on WhatsApp’ – it was a picture of the baby scan.
“He looked and said: ‘I’m going to cry, this is everything… I’m gonna be that crazy Jamaican uncle’. It was the best reaction.”
The couple have been smitten since they began dating last year.
Neil found Chyna on Instagram after her exit from the villa and reached out to the social media star.
The pair then met in person when they attended the same event together.
Their romance was soon confirmed when they headed on a trip to Paris together in August and shared photos on their Instagram pages.
Chyna coupled up with Jay Younger during her short stint on Love Island last year, but ended up just being friends with the Scotsman as a romantic relationship failed to blossom.
It comes two years after Neil’s previous relationship with South American dancer Luisa Eusse came to an end.
Neil was previously married to fellow Strictly star Katya Jones, but the relationship ended months after the dancer was pictured kissing her dance partner Seann Walsh in 2018.
