Chelsy Davy gives rare glimpse of her husband and children playing in the sea in Mauritius - after admitting marriage and kids wasn't always her plan

Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy gave fans a rare look at two of her young children on Instagram, posting a sweet photo of their everyday family life in Mauritius.

Chelsy, 40, spent seven years in an on-and-off relationship with the Duke of Sussex from 2004, before eventually finding love with her now-husband, hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott. 

The couple, who tied the knot in a relaxed beach ceremony in Mauritius in 2022, share three children together, and last December made the decision to relocate to the tropical island '(semi) full time'. 

In recent months, Chelsy has been giving her Instagram followers sneak peeks into their life on the East African island, with snaps shared in August of her son Leo, four, and daughter, Chloe, two, running along a pontoon towards the glistening blue sea. 

Giving a closer look at their family activities this week, the mother-of-three shared a picture of Chloe, Leo, and their father enjoying time in the sea. 

In the snap, posted to Chelsy's Instagram stories on Tuesday, Sam is pictured patiently sitting in the water close to the shore as his two children 'water' him with two watering cans.

Captioning with 'Watering Dad' and accompanied with a water droplet emoji, the image shows the children's carefree, playful nature on an island Chelsy has been visiting each year with her family since the age of four. 

It also distinctly shows features the children inherited from their mother, with Leo's blonde curls glistening in the sunshine and Chloe's golden locks tied into a tiny ponytail and fastened with a blue clip.

In June, the Zimbabwe-born entrepreneur took her Instagram followers behind the scenes of a tropical photoshoot for her fine jewellery label Aya, complete with a stunning orange sunset and adorable glimpses of her three children.

The clip showed Chelsy, who epitomised beach chic in shorts and a white linen shirt, supervising the shoot while looking after Leo, Chloe, and newborn son Finn.

The Instagram Reel also featured an adorable cameo from four-year-old Leo, whose voice could be heard as the toddler said: 'Come spend a day with my mum, while she runs her jewellery business from Mauritius.'

Leo broke down his and sister Chloe's morning schedule after 'Finn and my mum get up quite early' for their morning walk before Chelsy gives them breakfast and sends them off to school.

Footage showed Chelsy supervising the shoot, with Finn strapped to her chest at one point, before coming back home for dinner and bedtime with the children.

Chelsy and Sam, who was in the year above Harry at Eton, tied the knot in Mauritius in 2022 and welcomed their third child together, son Finn, in March.

At the time, the Daily Mail's Richard Eden reported 'very few people knew about the wedding' and Chelsy had given birth to Leo earlier that year 'without virtually anyone knowing she was pregnant'.

Sam is the brother of Jack Cutmore-Scott, the dashing Hollywood actor best known for his role in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film Tenet and the drama series Deception.

He is the managing director at The Harper Hotel in Holt, the family business, and the couple relocated to Mauritius after previously splitting their time between Chiswick and Norfolk.

The tropical island has a special significance for Sam and Chelsy, who tied the knot at the Paradis Beachcomber hotel four years ago.

Photos from the ceremony showed Chelsy opted for a boho-chic white dress with cutouts that she bought at a hotel boutique 'the day before my wedding,' Chelsy told the Standard.

Sam also kept things casual and said 'I do' in a navy linen shirt and a pair of white shorts.

The fiercely private entrepreneur announced the birth of her daughter Chloe in a similarly low-key fashion in September 2024, when Chelsy unveiled a jewellery collection named after 'my baby girl'.

Announcing Finn's birth on Mother's Day, Chelsy posted a series of adorable photos of her cradling him while his two older siblings look on lovingly.

Chelsy said in a heartfelt message that 'returning to those hazy newborn days has been a beautiful reminder of just how remarkable mothers are'.

She added that running her label Aya while raising three children is a 'jungle' but it's one that 'I've chosen'.

Chelsy also celebrated the 'freedom' women today have 'to shape our lives in the way that feels right' and wished her followers a 'happy Mother's Day'.

Prior to setting up her African jewellery brand, Chelsy worked as a lawyer in the City before making a career U-turn.
