Strictly's Neil Jones finally unveils newborn baby's unique name as star addresses meaning
WATCH NOW: Layton Williams breaks Strictly record with Cha Cha in Week 4
Neil Jones and Chyna Mills have revealed their newborn daughter's unique baby name two weeks after the Love Island star gave birth.
The pair were inundated with congratulatory messages when they first announced their newborn's arrival earlier this month alongside an adorable first snap of the tot.
"Our hearts are so full," Mills captioned the joint post but the pair stopped short of revealing any more details about their daughter.
In their first join interview since giving birth, however, Mills and Jones have shared new insight to their life as parents.
And the pair revealed that Jones' love of dance played a huge part in deciding what they should name the newborn.
Jones and Mills have decided to give their baby daughter the moniker Havana, after the Cuban capital.

Delving into the meaning of the name, Jones told Hello!: "Cuba is the home of dance and very multicultural so it was perfect; it sums us up."
Mills also told the publication: "We've been watching Neil on Strictly from home.
"I told her, 'Look, it's Daddy on the screen' and at that moment, she did these little smiles with her eyes closed."
The new family live in Leeds although Havana was born at Sat Thomas's Hospital in London at the beginning of the month.
Discussing their hopes for Havana when she grows up, Jones admitted it would be "amazing" if she wanted to follow in her dad's footsteps in the dancing world.
Havana isn't the only baby from the Strictly world to have arrived into the world this year.
Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec welcomed their first child earlier this year, while Gorka Marquez and Gemma Atkinson also welcomed their second child, Thiago in the summer.
Following the first few eliminations of the current series, however, none of the new parents now have their diaries packed with commitments to their dance partners on Strictly.

Manrara and Skorjanec bowed out of competing prior to the 2023 series, Jones was snubbed from being given a celebrity partner, and Marquez was booted from the contest alongside partner Nikita Kanda just two weeks in.
The dancers that are competing in this year's series have certainly had their hands full so far as they prepare the new crop of celebs for the dance floor.
Sadly, Les Dennis, Kanda, and Jody Cundy were the first three stars to bite the dust - although the BBC show came under fire after news of the eliminations emerged online before the results show.
But there has been records set as well, including Layton Williams bagging the earlier 10 for a Cha Cha in history and Angela Rippon wowing the audience as the oldest ever contestant.
