Strictly star Neil Jones has married Chyna Mills, with the dancer confirming the news on social media.
The BBC star, 44, said he and Chyna, 27, tied the knot on July 1 in London.
As reported by Metro, they chose a low-key ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall. Photos showed loved ones throwing confetti as the couple celebrated outside.
Neil wore a fitted suit. Chyna chose a white satin Bardot gown. You can see photos here.
Their daughter Havana joined them for the day. She was born in October 2023.
Neil has spent a decade on Strictly Come Dancing. Chyna is his second wife after his marriage to fellow Strictly star Katya Jones, which lasted from 2013 to 2019.

The happy photos also prompted talk about one reported absence. Metro reported that Neil’s parents did not attend the ceremony.
Reports claimed Neil did not tell his mum Helen or sister Terri when or where the wedding was happening. Those same reports said they were effectively banned from attending.
The reported rift links back to claims Chyna made last year. She accused Neil’s mother of “bullying, racism, and disrespect” and said the tension had built for years.
At the time, Chyna wrote: “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 discuss whatever one-sided issue she had of course, I was ignored.”
Chyna also said Havana’s baptism became the “final straw” in the feud.
She added: “Havana’s baptism was a special day, and his family chose not to attend out of loyalty to her and refused to acknowledge what’s unfolded over the past few years. That’s on them. But I won’t accept negative comments or false narratives about my baby girl’s special moments.”
