Neil Jones and his fiancée Chyna Mills are in Dubai enjoying their baby's first holiday.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 41, and his Love Island fiancée, 25, have taken their four-month-old daughter Havana on her first holiday to Dubai. The trio were all smiles as they enjoyed a day at the beach and a paddle in the sea before taking a boat ride together in the UAE sunshine.
Neil and Chyna, who welcomed their first child together in October, were spotted walking along the beach holding hands while the Love Island star held their baby daughter. The Strictly professional was also seen giving his daughter a kiss in an adorable snap as a smiling Chyna watched on.

In a previous interview with the Mirror, Neil admitted he was struggling with the intensity of the tour, which kicked off in January and finished earlier this month.
He said: "[Throughout the duration of last year's] Strictly, I would make sure that I try and get home on the evenings with the tour it’s a bit harder because we're all over [the country] but we've made sure that during the tour we're going to see each other once a week so that's nice."

And honestly, it really is. Both of us could just sit there and look at [Havana] all day – you're just so excited to see what she gets up to."
"She's just over three months and she's gotten to the stage where she's so excited and she can't stop looking at her own hands. It just amazes you to watch her do that," he added.
Neil and Chyna's romance first began after the Strictly pro sent her an Instagram DM after she caught his eye during her appearance on Love Island in 2021. The pair then met at the Reality TV Awards in August 2022 and sparks flew between the pair at the after-party in Chelsea, London.

Chyna and Neil made their first official red carpet appearance as a couple at The People's Pet Awards in September 2022. They then decided to move in together just two months after meeting at the Reality TV Awards.
The couple's whirlwind romance continued to heat up and after seven months together Neil and Chyna announced they were expecting their first baby together. Neil subsequently got down on one knee shortly after with the Love Island star accepting his proposal to the backdrop of Bali's verdant rice terraces.
Strictly pro Neil later revealed he had already planned to ask Chyna to marry him before they found out they were going to be parents for the first time. In a sweet gesture with Neil's Strictly family, the couple cut a gender reveal cake while he was performing the Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals tour at the London Palladium, in June 2023.

Days before the birth, he told the Mirror: "I'm excited. We're both like, 'Come on let it happen'. She's at home at the moment on her little yoga ball bouncing around hoping she might come out soon. I honestly can't wait… Nursery's ready, everything’s there, car seat in the back of the car we’ve got everything we need to go."
Neil and Chyna announced their baby had arrived in October with a sweet photograph of their little girl’s feet. "Our hearts are so full," they wrote alongside the post.
