Arabella Chi Shares Heartfelt Glimpse into Motherhood with Newborn Daughter Gigi

Former Love Island star Arabella Chi, 34, is embracing her new role as a first-time mother, sharing tender moments with her 11-day-old daughter, Gigi Harper Henty, on Instagram. The model and her businessman boyfriend, Billy Henty, welcomed their baby girl on May 20, 2025, and have since given fans an intimate look at their journey into parenthood.

Arabella announced Gigi’s arrival with a touching black-and-white photo of the newborn, captioning it, “Our worlds are complete.” Days later, she posted a carousel of snaps capturing her first week as a mum, including emotional hospital cuddles, Gigi’s first outing, and cozy moments at home. One image showed Billy carrying their daughter in a carrier as they left the hospital, while others featured Arabella bonding with Gigi during lunches and quiet afternoons.

In her Instagram Stories, Arabella gushed, “Thank you for all the beautiful messages. The past 11 days have been the most magical of my life… Being a mummy to Gigi is the most rewarding feeling.” She added that motherhood has given her life “a new meaning and purpose.”

The couple, who began dating in October 2024 after meeting through friends, moved in together quickly. Arabella previously revealed she’s “always wanted to be a mum,” calling Gigi a “blessing.” Their relationship blossomed after both appeared on Love Island: All Stars in early 2024. Though Arabella had short-lived romances on the show, she found lasting love with Billy off-screen.

Fans had eagerly awaited Gigi’s arrival after Arabella’s social media hiatus. The couple celebrated with a lavish baby shower at a Mexican restaurant on London’s Kings Road, attended by stars like Georgia Harrison and Ferne McCann. The event featured themed cocktails, including “Princess Paloma” and “Angel Fresco,” hinting at their excitement for a baby girl.

Arabella’s journey to motherhood follows high-profile relationships with Premier League footballer Ruben Dias and others, but she’s now focused on family life. She told MailOnline, “We’ve thought of names… she’s such a blessing.”
