Cozy Photos Suggest They’re Officially a Couple
Things really seemed to solidify when JoJo and Chris shared intimate photos on Tuesday evening.
The couple was seen cuddling and wrapping their arms around each other in snapshots that left little doubt they’re more than just friends.
One photo captured them lying down together, while another showed JoJo resting her head on Chris’s shoulder as she held his arm.
The pair even shared a hug while swimming during their joint birthday celebrations in Mexico and Florida.
Chris also met JoJo’s family and friends during the trip, with her dad posting a sweet picture of the couple in the pool.
Fans were quick to jump to the conclusion that this was a “hard launch” of their relationship, flooding the comments with heartfelt support like “So happy for you,” “You two are so cute together,” and “If this isn’t love, I don’t know what is.”
Chris’s Surprise Trip to Celebrate JoJo’s Birthday
Chris’s decision to fly across the Atlantic just to be with JoJo for her birthday didn’t go unnoticed.
According to a source, he didn’t want to wait to celebrate with her when she came to the UK later for her tour.
Instead, he made sure they could spend quality time together away from the public eye, which only added to the romance rumors.
He surprised fans by posting on Snapchat about his 12-hour flight to Mexico, sharing a cozy snap with JoJo captioned “Finally reunited.”
The couple was spotted together at the Tecate Emblema Festival, where JoJo was performing, and later shared plenty of fun moments from the trip.

Even though JoJo and Chris had insisted their connection was just friendship, JoJo has since given a glimpse into how much he means to her.
Speaking at Stanford Speakers Bureau for “A Night with JoJo Siwa,” she gushed about their time together, calling Chris “an absolute gem” and joking about how he shouldn’t see her compliments because it would “boost his ego.”
She revealed, “I told him you’re a vital part of my life that I didn’t know was missing.”
She praised his humble, ego-free nature and said, “He’s a keeper, we’ll keep him around, we’ll see.”
It’s clear JoJo sees Chris as someone very special who’s here to stay.
