JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have captured the public's attention with their blossoming romance, a relationship that began on the set of Celebrity Big Brother U.K. in the spring of 2025. At 22 and 32 years old respectively, the couple has quickly become inseparable, sharing not only their affection but also their hopes for the future, including marriage and starting a family.
Chris Hughes, known for his stint on Love Island, opened up in a recent interview with US Weekly about their future plans. "We genuinely speak to each other about this," he said, referring to discussions about marriage and children. "When you're besotted with each other and in love with someone, I think it's fun to look forward to those things." He further expressed his desire to marry JoJo and start a family, emphasizing their shared backgrounds from loving, wholesome families. "Of course I want to get married to her, I would never shy away from that," Hughes stated. "One day I'd love to have children, it would be an absolute dream for sure." This openness about their plans marks a significant step in their relationship, which has evolved rapidly since their meeting earlier this year.
JoJo Siwa, who rose to fame on Dance Moms, has also been candid about her feelings. She described Hughes as her "favorite person in the world" and expressed immense happiness since their relationship began. Speaking to TMZ, she said, "It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favorite person and I am very grateful and very happy." Despite some public skepticism about their relationship being a PR stunt, JoJo dismissed such claims in an interview with The Guardian, stating, "Clearly, you've never been around us. The happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much." Their chemistry, visible to fans and media alike, has been a source of curiosity, but the couple remains focused on their genuine connection.
One touching aspect of their relationship is how Hughes has supported JoJo through vulnerable moments. In a heartfelt TikTok video dated July 24, 2025, JoJo tearfully shared with her followers how Hughes comforted her over a painful chapter of her life involving criticism of her hairline during her younger years. She explained that a stress rash from her Dance Moms days caused a receding hairline, which had been a source of bullying. When Hughes remarked, "You have a really good hairline," JoJo was overwhelmed with emotion, describing the comment as something that "literally finished healing a part of me." Hughes reassured her tenderly, saying, "You have a really good hairline. It's got so much hair," and offered a comforting hug. This moment symbolized the deep emotional support that defines their relationship.
Hughes has consistently referred to JoJo as not only the love of his life but also his best friend. He revealed to E! News, "We spend so much time with each other, just us captivated in this little world in our living room," highlighting their simple pleasures like lounging on the sofa with a cup of tea. Their bond appears to transcend the typical celebrity romance, grounded in friendship and mutual respect.
Despite living on different continents—Hughes in the UK and Siwa in the US—the couple manages the distance with ease. Hughes remarked, "Nothing feels like too much effort to jump on a flight. She'll do the same thing. It's really not difficult." Their commitment to maintaining their connection shines through their frequent visits and quality time together.
JoJo’s romantic history reveals a journey of self-discovery and growth. Prior to Hughes, she had relationships with several partners, including Mark Bontempo, Kylie Prew, Katie Mills, Avery Cyrus, Dakayla Wilson, and Kath Ebbs. Each relationship brought its own lessons and challenges, some ending amicably and others marked by public disputes. For instance, her relationship with Katie Mills ended amid allegations of "love bombing" and "clout chasing," which Mills publicly addressed on TikTok. Similarly, her brief romance with Avery Cyrus ended with JoJo feeling used for views and clout, though Cyrus maintained they parted on good terms.
Her relationship with Kylie Prew was significant in encouraging JoJo to embrace and share her true self, particularly her LGBTQ+ identity. JoJo credits Prew as "the most amazing, wonderful, perfect, most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world," who inspired her to be open about who she is. Though they eventually parted ways, they remain close friends.
JoJo’s relationship with Kath Ebbs, confirmed in January 2025, ended just three months later during the wrap party for Celebrity Big Brother UK. Ebbs revealed that confused feelings led to their split, but JoJo emphasized that her bond with Hughes was different and not just a passing connection. In an ITV's This Morning appearance alongside Hughes, JoJo reflected on her time in the Big Brother house as a period of introspection, where she realized she needed to prioritize her happiness and set boundaries she hadn’t before.
Since their official confirmation as a couple in June 2025, JoJo and Chris have been nearly inseparable, rarely going more than two weeks without seeing each other. Their relationship has been marked by a blend of romance and genuine companionship, with Hughes often imagining their future wedding, even if no date has been set yet. JoJo has also shared playful moments with fans, such as a TikTok post that sparked pregnancy rumors—later clarified as a tease for new music.
Throughout their journey, JoJo has embraced the label "queer" to describe her identity but emphasizes that she loves the person, not the label. "There's a lot of different sexual identities," she told The Guardian. "I think there's nothing more beautiful than somebody discovering themselves." This sentiment reflects the openness and authenticity that both she and Hughes bring to their relationship.
From a chance meeting on a reality TV show to building a future filled with love and shared dreams, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes represent a modern romance grounded in friendship, vulnerability, and mutual support. Their story continues to unfold, captivating fans who eagerly watch as they navigate fame, past hardships, and the promise of a life together.
