Arabella Chi has told of how she has ‘always wanted to be a mum’ as she discussed finding ‘The One’ in her boyfriend Billy Henty.
The former Love Island star, 33, is currently expecting her first child with Billy and is due in May, after going public with their relationship in October.
Arabella admitted that the couple ‘moved in together straight away’ after meeting through mutual friends.
She was previously linked to Premier League footballer Ruben Dias, Leonardio DiCapio’s ‘close pal’ Richie Akiva and French rugby player Yoann Huget.
And although Arabella found herself back in the Love Island Villa in January 2024 she once again was unlucky in love… at least until she met Billy.
Speaking in an interview with MailOnline about her pregnancy, she said: ‘I’m so happy, and she’s such a blessing and I’m so thrilled.’

She continued: ‘It wasn’t a surprise. I’ve always wanted to be a mum. We’ve thought of names, so we’re very excited.’
Adding of her birthing plan, Arabella continued: ‘I don’t think it’s something any woman is particularly excited about, and from what I hear it’s quite painful, but it’s part of parcel of being a woman.
‘I think it’s an amazing experience what the human body does, so I’m going to take it in my stride, and knowing that I’ll have a beautiful daughter at the end of labour will all be worth it.’
Elsewhere, Arabella gave an insight into her relationship with Billy and lifted the lid on her hopes to get married.
‘I met him through mutual friends, so it was a really nice meeting,’ she explained.
‘We were literally just out for drinks one night, and I met him. At the time I thought, wow – he is an amazing guy, and he turned out to be The One.
‘It’s really nice that’s he’s not in the showbiz world. My parents have met him, and love him, and he ticks every single box – he’s amazing!
‘We moved in together literally straight away, so we’re just waiting for the baby now. When you know you know!’

The TV personality revealed: ‘Obviously getting married is every girl’s dream. I’ve got the baby, but we’re in no rush. At the end of the day, we’re just taking one thing at a time.’
Arabella has traded the villa chaos for a life with Billy and their unborn child, after two appearances on the ITV2 dating show.
She first rose to fame after appearing on the 2019 edition of the hit show, where she was dumped from the island after just seven days, leaving single.
Arabella tried her luck again in 2024 and returned for the all-stars edition, which saw her appear as a bombshell.
While she did spark up a romance with fellow islander Adam Maxted, once again, it was not to last.
She said: ‘I’ve been so unlucky in love; I’ve dated people I thought at the time were the one, which was a mistake I’ve since learnt from.’
But she has since found love and Arabella went public with her relationship in October after meeting through Arabella’s Love Island pal Kady McDermott’s boyfriend Henry Simmons.

In December, she then announced that she and Billy are expecting their first child together.
She gushed of her boyfriend: ‘I just didn’t think I’d find a guy that’s like, we’re literally two peas in a pod, he’s unbelievable. I’ve been so lucky. They say when you know, you know, and that’s what it was like with Billy.’
‘He’s gonna be the best girl dad ever, it’s gonna be his little princess. We’ve obviously got my dog Astro and he is besotted with Astro, so I feel like he’s gonna be 10 times cuter with the baby.’
When asked if her and Billy plan on getting engaged any time soon, she explained: ‘I’m going with the flow, one thing at a time. Baby first and then just enjoy that.’
‘We’re just taking it as it comes really. We’re solid, we’re in really good place and excited about the baby.’
