Neil Jones and Chyna Mills have finally married one another! The Strictly Come Dancing professional and the former Love Island star tied the knot on Wednesday at Marylebone’s Town Hall, before sharing their happy news earlier today. However, Neil’s family were not included in the ceremony.
In images shared on social media, the newlyweds could be seen posing together on a bench after exchanging their vows. Another image, showing the proud couple looking more loved-up than ever, showed the couple holding hands inside the registry office, both struggling to hide the excitement on their faces.
As the couple walked outside for the first time as man and wife, they beamed while confetti was thrown in the air with Chyna raising her bouquet, flashing the biggest smile. Their young daughter, Havana, looked overjoyed as she rocked an adorable dress while holding hands with her mother.

Chyna opted for a chic white off-the-shoulder gown, featuring a corset-style top and flowing skirt. Keeping her look simple yet elegant, the star swept her hair off her face, cascading freely down her back. Neil, meanwhile, looked suave in a sleek suit as they exchanged vows.
Neil’s co-stars and colleagues instantly flocked to the comment section to congratulate the couple. Strictly’s head judge, Shirley Ballas gushed: “Congratulations to two beautiful humans.” Lauren Oakley added: “Best day, you beautiful people. Can’t wait for next week!”
Gorka Marquez added: “Congratulations guys.” Dani Dyer typed: “This is so lovely. Congratulations.” Amy Dowden exclaimed: “Beautiful! Massive congratulations to you both.” Meanwhile, Zoe Ball commented: “Congratulations, gorgeous family. Hurray for love!” Claudia Bish, a friend of the couple, went on to say: “Perfect!!! Congratulations.”

But their big day wasn’t without drama. It’s claimed that Neil’s family were not invited to the wedding and had no idea when or where it would take place. A source said: “The whole thing is a massive shame. His close and extended family were all there when he married his first wife, Katya Jones, and felt that was an incredibly special day.”
They went on to tell The Sun: “Everyone feels like Chyna could have shared her concerns in a different way, but instead it’s turned into a public matter and the whole family have been tarred with the same brush.”
Late last year, Chyna hit out at her now-in-laws and accused them of attempting to “ruin” her and Neil’s daughter’s Christening, which they didn’t attend. She said on social media: “I’ve faced bullying, racism, and constant disrespect from a so-called MIL since the moment I met her. This year, I decided enough was enough and gave her the chance to speak about whatever one-sided issue she had. Of course, I was ignored.
“I’ve done everything I could to build relationships, yet nothing was ever reciprocated. Havana’s baptism was a special day, and his family chose not to attend out of loyalty to her, and they refuse to acknowledge what’s unfolded over the past few years. That’s on them.”
She went on to say that she would not “accept negative comments” about their daughter’s “special moments,” adding: “But I won’t accept negative comments or false narratives on my baby girl’s special moments. All that matters is Havana being surrounded by love. Her happiness comes first. Always.”
Neil and Chyna revealed not only that they were expecting a child in 2023, but that they had gotten engaged. The dancer proposed whilst they were holidaying in Bali.
