Pregnant Arabella Chi shows off her growing bump in a stylish mini dress as she steps out at The Baby Show ahead of welcoming her first child

Arabella Chi showed off her growing baby bump as she attended The Baby Show in London on Friday.

The former Love Island star, 33, is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Billy Henty and put her bump on display in a figure-hugging dress.

She looked effortlessly chic in a white mini dress, which she styled with sheer тιԍнтs and chunky black lace-up boots.

Arabella, who rose to fame on the 2019 edition of the ITV dating show, toted her essentials in a black shoulder bag while posing in front of a wall of blue balloons.

Arabella let her brunette tresses cascade in loose waves over her shoulders and opted for a full-coverage make-up palette to complete her look.

Arabella, who is set to welcome a baby girl with Billy, recently shared her hopes of becoming a ‘relatable mum’ as she puts her Love Island days behind her.

The reality star admitted she wants to move away from posting sultry ʙικιɴι snaps on social media, and instead show fans another side of her. 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline at the Bohomoon event, she said: ‘I feel like I’m at an age now where it is time to not always pose in ʙικιɴιs.’

‘My Instagram before was very like, “Oh, look at me. I’m on holiday in a ʙικιɴι.” and actually, people find that really hard to relate to.’

‘I think that now it’s a refreshing time, because I’m just this normal girl that literally lives in a tracksuit 24/7, and hopefully now people can start seeing more of that side of me.’

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.’
