Chelsy Davy is in a particularly joyful moment. The Zimbabwean-British entrepreneur, once known worldwide as Prince Harry‘s first serious girlfriend, expects her third child. True to her style, the news surfaced without fuss. A photo shared on social media and later confirmed by our sister brand HELLO! revealed what many quickly noticed: her growing baby bump.
A friend at the breakfast was the first to hint at the news, sharing a photo and calling Chelsy the “most beautiful mama to be.” The comment quickly drew attention, as the image clearly showed her growing bump. Soon after, Aya’s official account posted additional snapshots from the morning. In them, Chelsy looks polished but natural, her long blonde hair worn loose and her makeup soft and fresh, alongside a message thanking guests for joining the celebration of the Halo Collection.

When the baby arrives, they will become a family of five. The couple already have two children, Leo, born in 2022, and Chloe, whose arrival she revealed quietly in 2024.

A Private Love Story
Her relationship with Sam followed the same pattern as the rest of her life: quiet and private. They married on the beach at the Paradis Beachcomber hotel in Mauritius, a place that has meant a lot to Chelsy since she was young. Only close friends and family were there, and news of the wedding only became public when she chose to share it. When she later posted photos from the day, she kept the caption simple: “Did a thing on my favorite place; see link in bio.”

An Oxford graduate, Sam serves as director of the family-owned Bijou Collection, which oversees a portfolio of refined properties, including a boutique hotel in Norfolk, a château in the south of France, and a restored abbey in Buckinghamshire. Together, the couple divides their time between a London home in Chiswick and the windswept Norfolk coast, cultivating a life defined less by headlines and more by hearth and horizon.

Beyond her family life, Chelsy has built a career shaped by careful choices. She chose to pursue her lifelong interest in jewelry after completing her studies in economics and law and becoming a licensed solicitor. She trained at the Gemological Institute of America before launching Aya in 2016, a brand inspired by Africa and rooted in ethical craftsmanship. Over time, her designs have attracted a loyal following, including celebrities and fashion insiders.
She later expanded into travel, founding Aya Africa, a company that creates tailor-made luxury experiences across the continent. Her connection to Africa is personal. Born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, she is the daughter of Charles Davy, a prominent landowner in the region. The landscapes of her childhood continue to influence her aesthetic, shaping a work that feels warm, natural, and understated.
The Prince and the Past
For seven years, Chelsy Davy lived under intense public attention as Prince Harry’s girlfriend. They met in 2004 in Cape Town during his gap year, and their relationship quickly became serious and widely followed. She later moved to Leeds to study law, in part to be closer to him, and those around them often described the relationship as deeply committed.

But constant media scrutiny, along with long periods apart during Harry’s military service in Afghanistan, put pressure on the relationship. They officially ended things in 2011.
In time, the intensity faded. In 2018, Chelsy was among the guests at Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle, a sign that, despite their history, they had remained on respectful terms.
A Life Rewritten
Chelsy Davy embodies a rare kind of reinvention today, as she prepares for a third child, manages a flourishing jewelry house, and enjoys a grounded family life. She has shaped a world beyond palace walls, one defined by intention, creativity, and privacy.

And as she prepares to welcome her third baby, she steps into this next chapter surrounded by love, serenity, and promise, the most meaningful collection she has ever assembled.
