Does Strictly's Neil Jones have children?

Neil welcomed his first child, an adorable baby girl in 2023, with fianceé Chyna. Confirming her arrival on social media, they wrote: "Our hearts are so full."

They confirmed her name was Havana Jones, a moniker they chose because it's the capital city of Cuba.

In an interview with Hello! Neil said: "Cuba is the home of dance and very multicultural, so it was perfect; it sums us up."

What has Neil Jones achieved in his dance career?

Not only a regular on Strictly since 2016, Neil began his dance career aged just three when he took up ballet classes. Also trained in tap, modern, ballroom and Latin, Neil became an undefeated four-time British National Champion, and the three-time winner of the World Amateur Latin Championships.

Away from dance, Neil and Chyna have also set up business, Pure Content Studios, a place where internet creators can come and complete their work.

They said: "Daily we are asked why did we start Pure content Studios and honestly when our daughter Havana was born we found our home overrun with tripods and lighting equipment, we knew we had to find an alternative and frustrated by the lack of dedicated creative spaces in Leeds, we decided to take matters into our own hands."
