Love has clearly been in the air for Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa, who have just taken a big step in their relationship by meeting Chris’s parents in the charming English countryside.
The couple, who confirmed their romance earlier this week after weeks of speculation, were spotted enjoying a romantic walk together in the Cotswolds, unable to keep their hands off each other.
From Reality TV to Real Life: How Their Relationship Began
Chris, best known from Love Island, and JoJo, the dancer and star of Dance Moms, first met in the Celebrity Big Brother house back in April.
Their connection quickly grew, and despite the age difference—Chris is 32 and JoJo just 22—they have been inseparable ever since.
JoJo had recently flown over to the UK for some London shows and to promote her new single, Bulletproof, making their time together even more special.
Winning Over the Parents and Charming the Cotswold Crowd
According to insiders, JoJo has already made a fantastic impression on Chris’s family.
“Meeting the parents is a big step, but she charmed everyone,” a source told MailOnline.
It seems JoJo’s signature style of big bows might be taking a backseat to the laid-back vibes of the British countryside for now.
Adding to the sweetness, JoJo has been wearing one of Chris’s rings on a necklace, a meaningful keepsake from their time in the CBB house.
Matching Bracelets and Shared Moments
The couple also showed off matching bracelets, gifts from a fan at JoJo’s London show, featuring red and white beads symbolizing Chris’s beloved Sunderland football team.
Despite the whirlwind of trips—from Chris jetting to Mexico to surprise JoJo on her 22nd birthday, to celebrating with family in Orlando, and sharing intimate snaps—JoJo had kept their relationship under wraps until now.
Family Approval and No Worries About the Age Gap
JoJo’s parents, Jessalynn and Tom, have given their blessing to the relationship and reportedly see Chris as someone very special.
A family friend said, “They fully support their daughter’s happiness and are excited to see where things go.
No one is focused on the age difference; everyone just wants to see JoJo happy.”
Clearly, love is the only thing that matters here.
JoJo’s Music May Reflect Her Newfound Happiness
The couple’s happiness could soon inspire JoJo’s music.
She’s reportedly considering writing songs about her relationship with Chris.
In a heartfelt interview on Sunday Brunch, JoJo became emotional sharing how close Chris is with her parents. “He and my dad are like best friends,” she revealed.
“They even went to the spa together recently! My mom absolutely adores him. It feels like he’s been part of my family forever.”
Officially Official: JoJo Confirms Relationship
After weeks of playful teasing, JoJo finally confirmed she and Chris are an official couple during a Capital Radio interview.
She called Chris her “favorite person in the world” and happily introduced him as her boyfriend.
She also laughed about explaining her viral “Dream guest on my podcast” moment to him.
Love Shuts Down PR Rumors
JoJo also addressed rumors that their relationship might be a publicity stunt.
“Clearly, you’ve never been around us,” she said.
“The happiness I feel right now radiates off me. I’ve never smiled so much it hurt my cheeks.” Their chemistry seems genuine and deep, and JoJo is clearly head over heels.
Reflecting on Her UK Shows and Feeling Grateful
JoJo recently reflected on her London performances with gratitude, calling her time in the UK “perfect” and praising the support from fans.
Though Chris couldn’t attend all her shows, she brought a memento from him—a bright orange beanie from their time in the CBB house—to keep him close during her performances.
From Reality TV to Real Love: The Journey Continues
From shy beginnings to holding hands on romantic countryside strolls, Chris and JoJo’s relationship is blossoming in the public eye.
With family support, music inspiration, and lots of smiles, these two seem ready to take on whatever comes next—together.
