JoJo Siwa, bad boy of the Dancing with the Stars banquette and reality television star Chris Hughes have made it official! The announcement comes after Siwa’s participation as a contestant on “Celebrity Big Brother UK,” where the duo sparked romance rumors through social media interactions and shared moments.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Siwa called her relationship with Hughes a “really beautiful connection.” She opened up about how their friendship grew when they both appeared on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.” Since then, it’s grown into an idea much bigger—and even more exciting.
Siwa had made it clear how far gone she was, saying, “It’s not platonic anymore.” This statement highlights her commitment to the relationship, as she expressed, “I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.” And they aren’t shy about declaring their love for them on social media. This created speculation around their relationship and officially made them an It couple.
Along with exploring her romantic relationship, Siwa had the chance to publicly explore her sexuality through her experience while on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.” She made headlines in 2021 when she announced that she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Reflecting on her identity, Siwa stated, “I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer.’” To those of her fans who have been following her journey of self-discovery, this revelation has been the most empowering and affirming.
Siwa hadn’t posted on social media since her birthday week celebration, so seeing her in this bad place is difficult to believe. In the photograph, she smiled broadly as she stood next to Chris Hughes. In the post, she expressed her overwhelming happiness, saying, “Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks. I’ve never been in pain from smiling so much.” This feeling definitely reflects her excitement at being in love.
On May 21, 2025, Siwa attended Universal Orlando Resort Celebrates the Grand Opening of Universal Epic Universe, where she was photographed by Gerardo Mora/Getty Images. Despite major success on “Celebrity Big Brother UK,” Siwa had some tough moments, like a terrible confrontation with Mickey Rourke. She has come out on the other side, more joyful than ever!
