Strictly Come Dancing’s Neil Jones and Love Islander Chyna Mills have tied the knot for a second time, celebrating their union in a breathtaking Florence wedding. This lavish Italian ceremony followed their initial marriage in the UK earlier this month.

Neil, 44, known for his professional glitz and glamour, and his new bride, Chyna, 27, elevated their wedding backdrop to an entirely new level last week. After officially marrying at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London earlier this month, the couple jetted off to Florence. There, they exchanged vows for a second time during an intimate private ceremony at Villa San Michele, a luxurious hotel nestled on a stunning hilltop surrounded by lush trees and terraced gardens.

Chyna captioned a carousel of images, "Mr & Mrs Jones," revealing her elegant white gown and the spectacular Italian garden setting. The scene featured a stage draped in red velvet curtains, a matching red velvet aisle, and hundreds of crimson roses. Chyna described their special occasion, stating, "A year and a half of planning our elopement and somehow it was even more perfect than we imagined. Just us, our little girl and the most beautiful day of our lives."

Famous friends quickly offered their congratulations. Strictly dancer Carlos Gu expressed he was "utterly bewitched" by the beautiful wedding images, while former Strictly pro dancer Oti Mabuse called Chyna "the most beautiful bride." Veteran broadcaster Angela Rippon echoed many sentiments, writing, "Your pictures of this special day just keep getting better. What beautiful memories for you."

Neil, who was previously married to fellow Strictly star Katya Jones, first connected with Chyna after sliding into her DMs in 2022. The smitten pair became engaged in Bali the following March, and six months later, they welcomed their first child, Havana, together.

Their adorable daughter, Havana, appeared to be the only other guest at the Italian wedding celebrations, posing with her proud father Neil. He had previously stated that he and Chyna wanted her to be old enough to play a part in their big day. Their London wedding ceremony, held on July 1, was also an intimate affair. Chyna had voiced concerns that some people might be offended by not being invited, describing the preparations as "stressful" and adding, "It’s probably going to cause a lot of drama over the fact that not many people are going to be invited."

Due to a bitter family fallout last year, which saw members of Neil’s family miss Havana’s baptism and led to Chyna accusing her mother-in-law, Helen, of "racism, bullying and constant disrespect," Neil’s family did not attend either wedding ceremony. Instead, former Strictly contestants Tyler West and Molly Rainford served as witnesses at their London bash, with ex-EastEnders actress Molly calling it "an honour" to play such a pivotal role.

Following their Italian nuptials, Neil and Chyna embarked on their honeymoon to Tulum, Mexico, where they enjoyed outdoor swims, a pottery class, and poolside cocktails.
