Love Island’s Arabella Chi admits her boyfriend Billy Henty has a ‘new level of respect’ for her after 16 hour labour during birth of their first child
Arabella Chi shared that her partner, Billy Henty, now holds a higher regard for her due to the fact that she underwent an intense 16-hour labor during the birth of their first child together.
Three weeks ago, I, as a lifestyle enthusiast, became overjoyed to share the news of a new addition to my life – a beautiful baby girl we’ve named Gigi. My loving partner, a successful entrepreneur named Billy, and I are absolutely thrilled about this new chapter in our lives together.
In an interview with OK! magazine on Saturday, Arabella shared some details about her delivery process.
As soon as she came into the world, everything became clear. Billy wept, I wept, everyone wept! Later on, he told me, “You’ve earned a whole new level of admiration from me.
People don’t seem to remember the 16-hour ordeal I went through. They just look at one picture and think it was all glamorous. It wasn’t! I was sweating buckets, completely drained, even saying to my mom, ‘I’ve got nothing left in me to push.’

She commented: ‘For two whole weeks, we were ensconced within our own little family’s bubble with the newborn. It was incredibly heartwarming. Witnessing Billy transition into fatherhood has further deepened my affection for our small family unit.’
The model shared a series of photos on Instagram, offering her followers a glimpse into their family’s life transitions, which included pictures of herself, Gigi, and Billy.
She appeared completely loving and nurturing as she affectionately held Gigi, making it clear they had fully embraced their role as a family at their residence.
Arabella additionally posted pictures of her lunch dates with Gigi and commented, ‘Enamored by this small life [heart emoji].’
She posted on her Instagram Stories, “I’m grateful for all the lovely messages. The last eleven days have been the most enchanting of my life.
Caring for our daughter Gigi as her mommy has been the most fulfilling experience I’ve known yet. She’s such a treasure, and she’s added an entirely fresh significance and motivation to my existence.
Sharing the news of Gigi’s arrival, Arabella posted pictures of her and their newborn, Arabella, along with a caption saying: ‘Our lives are now whole. Welcome to the world, Gigi Harper Henty. Born on May 20, 2025, weighing 6.2 lbs.’
People had been anxiously looking forward to the announcement for a whole week ever since they noticed that the celebrity had stopped posting on social media.
At a Mexican eatery on Kings Road, the extravagant baby shower took place, and attendees were treated to cocktails titled “Princess Paloma,” “Miss Margarita,” and “Angel Fresco” as a tribute to the newborn daughter.
Among those who joined the celebration was a group of Arabella’s well-known friends such as Georgia Harrison, Olivia Hawkins, and Dancing on Ice personality Ferne McCann.
Last year, Arabella and businessman Billy fell in love while appearing on the initial season of All Stars. They revealed in December that they would be welcoming their first child into the world together.
The bombshell and Billy went public with their relationship in October.
In conversation, it emerged that her deep desire had always been to become a mother, as she spoke about discovering her soulmate among her boyfriend’s company.
Ah, let me tell you a tale! Ever since I stumbled upon them through our shared circle of friends, I couldn’t help but notice this dynamic duo. You see, they didn’t even take a beat before taking the plunge and cohabiting together! Yes, it was as if fate had already sealed their union from that very first encounter. Simply amazing!
Previously, she had connections with Premier League soccer player Ruben Dias, a close friend of Leonardo DiCaprio named Richie Akiva, and French rugby player Yoann Huget.
Despite returning to the Love Island Villa in January 2024, Arabella’s luck in love didn’t improve – that is, until she encountered Billy.
In an interview with TopMob regarding her pregnancy, she expressed her joy by saying, “I’m overjoyed, and this is truly a blessing; I can hardly contain my excitement.
She went on to say, “I hadn’t expected it, but I’ve longed to become a mother all along. We’ve even brainstormed potential names, which has us quite thrilled.
