Love Island's Arabella Chi drops huge hint that she's already given birth to her baby daughter
Arabella Chi has dropped a major hint that she has already given birth to her baby daughter.
The Love Island star, 34, who is expecting her first child with her businessman boyfriend Billy Henty, previously revealed her due date was in May.
And this week, she has fuelled speculation that her baby could have been born after going silent on social media.
Arabella, who usually updates her Instagram daily has now gone seven days without posting anything.
He last update was a black and white photo of her bump which was captioned: 'Patiently waiting to meet the tiny version of us.'

Arabella and entrepreneur Billy found love after starring on the first All Stars series last year, and announced they were expecting their first child together in December.
The bombshell and Billy went public with their relationship in October.
The model revealed that she has 'always wanted to be a mum' as she discussed finding the one in her boyfriend.
Arabella admitted the couple 'moved in together straight away' after meeting through mutual friends.
She was previously linked to Premier League footballer Ruben Dias, Leonardo DiCaprio's 'close pal' Richie Akiva and French rugby player Yoann Huget.
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 birth plan, Arabella said: '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 revealed 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.'
She continued: '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!'
Now a proud mum of a baby girl, Arabella previously admitted if she was told she was having a baby a year ago she 'would have laughed in your face'.
Speaking to The Mirror during her lavish baby shower in Chelsea this weekend, she said: 'I loved how me and Billy met, it was organic.
'It's hard to do that in this day and age. He's out of this world. And I love that. It's refreshing.'
Billy, who tries to keep out of the spotlight, added: 'I can't wait to be a girl dad. It's life changing. It's my own little family. Arabella's amazing. She's got a heart of gold.'
Billy explained their little girl is 'extra special' and was 'meant to be' because of Arabella's previous struggles with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
She added: 'When I found out I was pregnant it was magical. With my PCOS I don't know if I'll be able to have more children so she's special.'
Arabella added that timing was everything for the couple and she feels so 'lucky' to have found the one.
The model said: 'I've learned to trust the timing of your life because life will happen how it's supposed to happen. I can't believe that a year and three months ago I was in the Love Island villa. I feel so lucky to have found my forever partner.'

Prince William's hilarious reaction to a taste of gin on rare joint appearance with the Duchess of Edinburgh
The Prince of Wales lived up to his reputation as 'One Pint Willy' when he recoiled while sampling local Cornish gin with the Duchess of Edinburgh at the Royal Cornwall Show today. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh arrived today in Wadebridge, Cornwall for a busy day of royal engagements in a rare joint engagement as patrons of the Royal Agricultural Association that organises the show. This year's edition marks the first time that William - who is known as the Duke of Cornwall when he is in the region - has attended the event and it appeared the day was off to a flying start as he tried gin at one of the stalls. It comes after Mike Tindall revealed he nicknamed William 'One Pint Willy' because 'he is not the best of drinkers' during a podcast appearance in 2023. Zara Tindall 's husband, the Ex-England rugby star, said: 'He is known to me as One Pint Willy because he is not the best of drinkers, coming from a sport where it is built on the social aspect and a couple of beers being sunk quite often. 'That is one I will give away for the Prince of Wales.' And it appeared Mike's observation was spot on as William's eyes widened after he took a sip of his gin drink at the Royal Cornwall Show after he and Sophie raised their cups at the show. William and Sophie appeared comfortable and relaxed in each other's presence, as the royals shared a good-natured laugh after they arrived at the agricultural show on Friday, June 6. The pair opted for smart casual ensembles, with the Duke of Cornwall picking a grey sport coat with a light blue shirt for his visit. He completed the look with a navy tie and matching accessories. Still sporting the beard that left royal fans swooning, William greeted well-wishers who had gathered outside the venue in Wadebridge in Cornwall. Meanwhile, Sophie was beaming as she waved at crowds, with the Duchess also wearing a greige checked blazer that she paired with a tan, calf-length skirt and a light pink shirt. She finished her outfit with burgundy boots and a forest green bag with tan accents, and accessorised with a diamond pendant necklace and timeless gold hoops. Sophie's makeup was fresh and dewy, as the mother-of-two wore a light layer of foundation, the faintest hint of blush, and a soft pink lipstick for the occasion. Upon their arrival, their Royal Highnesses were shown around the Royal Cornwall Food and Farming Pavillion as they inspected dozens of stalls stocked with artisanal food and drink from producers across the region. In addition to the gin tasting, William and Sophie also tried pints of Rattler cider at the agricultural show as the Prince was subjected to what may have been some playful teasing about his alcohol tolerance from Sophie. He was later seen holding up a hand, possibly to signal he needed a break from the spirits. During the show, William will also visit the Duchy of Cornwall hub, days after he revealed his fresh approach for the estate he inherited from his father upon King Charles' accession to the throne. In an interview with The Telegraph's Royal Editor Hannah Furness, who spent a day travelling alongside the Prince of Wales, 42, as he visited his tenants, the royal shared how he was modernising the land and property empire. This includes encouraging people involved with the Duchy to speak openly, with the Prince telling his staff to 'please give [everyone] proper authority to say what's really going on. Not being polite because I'm in the room,' ahead of a meeting in Dartmoor. Elsewhere, Matthew Morris, the rural director of the Duchy, revealed how employees 'no longer feel the need to put on a tie when the Duke of Cornwall is in town' - perhaps unlike when Charles - who is often smartly dressed in a full suit - visited. The publication also noted how William will communicate with staff via WhatsApp and ask questions over the social media platform in order to keep updated. But while the Prince is seemingly taking a more modern approach to the estate compared to his father, the pair do share a 'healthy impatience'. Ben Murphy, estate director, admitted that the royal has a 'healthy impatience, as his father did', while secretary Will Bax said the father-of-three is 'pretty ambitious' and 'pretty demanding', which he added, is 'great'. He added that the Prince - who is looking to improve the estate so it has even more of a positive social impact, while keeping its key community spirit - and his team are 'seeking to remove any ambiguity'. The aim for the Duchy's mission, which is to deliver a positive impact for people, places and the planet, to be more understood by the public comes after the property and land empire, as well as the King's estate, the Duchy of Lancaster were investigated by a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary: The King, The Prince & Their Secret Millions. In line with the Royal Cornwall Show's efforts to spotlight rural mental health, William will meet heads of local charities at the Duchy of Cornwall hub, which aligns closely with the Duke's passion for supporting the mental health of his farming tenants.
