After months of speculation and teasing from fans, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have finally put the rumors to rest — they’re officially a couple!
The American dancer and singer, 22, and the former Love Island star, 32, who first caught attention for their strong bond during their stint on Celebrity Big Brother, have now been spotted sharing some very public displays of affection.
What started as a close friendship inside the CBB house, where they insisted they were just pals, has clearly blossomed into something more.
The pair were recently seen locking lips at an adults-only resort in Florida during a special birthday getaway for JoJo.
Birthday Celebrations Turn Romantic
JoJo’s 22nd birthday was extra memorable this year, thanks to Chris flying out from the UK to join her and her family in Florida.
Photos obtained by The Sun show the couple kissing in a swimming pool, holding hands, and looking completely smitten with each other.
According to a source, “They looked totally loved-up, like a couple in the early stages of something really special. JoJo seemed so relaxed and happy — not at all like her usual stage persona.”
The couple didn’t shy away from their affection, openly enjoying each other’s company in front of other guests, making it clear they’re no longer just friends.
JoJo’s mother also seemed to give her blessing, sharing happy moments from the trip on Instagram, including JoJo and Chris dancing together at Disney World.
Saying Goodbye Isn’t Easy
The time apart was tough on the duo. JoJo was visibly emotional when Chris had to fly back to the UK after the birthday celebrations.
In an Instagram clip, JoJo tearfully admitted, “Tears coming from under the sunglasses,” as she said goodbye to Chris at the airport.
But the distance won’t last long — JoJo revealed she’s heading back to LA soon for a quick trip before flying to London for her upcoming shows.
The couple’s connection is clearly strong enough to handle the time zones.
A Social Media Love Story
JoJo couldn’t hide her feelings for Chris, posting a heartfelt TikTok montage of their birthday week filled with sweet moments — from gifts to dancing to quiet family time.
She described the week as “the most magical of my life,” full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Chris responded warmly, greeting the universe with a “Good morning” comment, clearly touched by JoJo’s tribute.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with excitement and support, many confessing they were totally invested in their journey from Celebrity Big Brother acquaintances to a full-blown romance.
Clues on Stage and Off
JoJo dropped another big hint about their relationship during her show in Mexico.
While covering Kim Carnes’s classic “Bette Davis Eyes,” she cheekily changed the lyrics to “Chris Hughes eyes,” making the crowd — and Chris, who was reportedly in the front row — go wild.
The couple has also shared plenty of cozy selfies and cuddly moments from their travels between Mexico and Florida, showing just how close they’ve become.
Chris even met JoJo’s family, and the affectionate snaps posted by her dad show how accepted Chris is by those closest to JoJo.
Fans Are Loving This!
The reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive.
Comments range from “So happy for you two!” to “This has to be a hard launch!” and “Genuinely, if this isn’t love, I don’t know what is.”
It’s clear that their chemistry has won the hearts of many, who are eager to see where this relationship will go next.
With sold-out shows coming up in London, JoJo and Chris are expected to spend even more time together soon.
What’s Next for JoJo and Chris?
After a whirlwind few months — from close friends to confirmed lovers — the big question is: what’s next for JoJo and Chris?
JoJo’s busy schedule includes two big performances in London at Colours Hoxton, and Chris seems ready to keep supporting her every step of the way.
From their first CBB bonding moments to now sharing romantic trips and heartfelt social media tributes, this duo looks like they’re just getting started.
Fans will definitely be watching closely to see how this sweet love story unfolds.
