JoJo Siwa has shared that she's totally smitten with Chris Hughes, a star from Love Island. She describes her feelings as being "head over heels" in love with him.
It all began on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother last April, where JoJo, known as a talented performer, first crossed paths with Chris Hughes, a well-known horse racing pundant. Their chemistry was undeniable and had everyone talking, with viewers eager about what was really going on between them.
After leaving Celebrity Big Brother, JoJo and Chris have been spotted together frequently, fueling rumors about their relationship. Up until now, they've both insisted they were just friends.
In a sincere moment during an interview with The Guardian, 22-year-old JoJo confirmed that her relationship with 32-year-old Chris has moved beyond friendship. When asked about her newfound glow, JoJo explained, "It's not just platonic anymore; it's turned out beautiful, and I'm totally crazy about him. He's just as smitten."
Their love story has been playing out on social media, with JoJo and Chris often popping up in each other's posts. JoJo, who once identified as a lesbian, has been open about how her understanding has evolved. During Celebrity Big Brother, she embraced "queer" as her identity.
Discussing her identity in The Guardian, JoJo said, "I describe my sexuality as 'queer' because it truly represents me." She highlighted how self-discovery can be a beautiful journey, sharing, "There's nothing more beautiful than discovering who you are."
The road leading up their public announcement was filled with little clues and flirty exchanges that had fans buzzing. A memorable moment was when JoJo switched up lyrics during a cover performance, singing "Chris Hughes' eyes," and got a kiss from Chris that lit up her face.
Some have speculated about whether their romance might just be a publicity stunt, but JoJo firmly shut those rumors down. "Clearly, those doubters have never been around us," she said, affirming that their relationship's genuinely real.
Reflecting on her life in front on everyone's gaze, JoJo remarked, "I'm living a very public life with so many eyes watching, and it can be tough. But I'm also living as a real person. You can't help who you fall in love with."
The rumor mill has been in overgear lately, thanks in part photos and sweet song dedications. Recently, Chris shared a cute Snapchat photo captioned "Sleep' beauty," showing them looking cozy.
During a recent London show, JoJo dedicated "Bette Davis Eyes" with a tweak, singing "Chris Hughes' Eyes," much as fans adored.
