Fans of Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes, whose couple name is still pending- Chris-Jo, or maybe Joris?- will be thrilled at the latest development in their possible romance. The couple have seemingly confirmed their relationship yet again, much to the surprise of the general public.
The pair first crossed paths when they each entered the Big Brother house in April this year. While everyone thought Love Island star Chris would make a beeline for the newly single TOWIE star, Ella Rae Wise, it seems that the former Dance Mom star Jojo Siwa was the one who caught his eye. This was all further complicated by the fact that Jojo- whose real name is Joelle Joanie Siwa- was an out and proud lesbian at the time and in a committed relationship with content creator Kath Ebbs.
During their time on the show, Chris and Jojo seemed to get closer and closer, and the world was sent into a spiral when Jojo and Kath abruptly broke up at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. After being reportedly dumped by Jojo, Kath admitted in a since-deleted TikTok, ‘I'm filming this in a complete state of shock,’ alongside a caption that read, ‘Egg on me, I guess.' They continued, ‘After two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involves... I was dumped at the after-party.’ Kath continued, ‘I was told that there are confused feelings there - do with that what you will - and that they had realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with.’
Chris and Jojo have since been spotted on a romantic getaway in Mexico for her 22nd birthday - granted, along with her entire family- and were spotted kissing in the pool and holding hands throughout the resort. The Karma singer also shocked fans when swapping his name into a performance of Bette Davis Eyes earlier this month. This behaviour has baffled fans, with many US followers taking to Jojo's TikTok comment section to ask who exactly Chris Hughes is and why we all seem to know him.
Now, the latest post from Chris Hughes makes it even harder to believe that the duo are just friends like they claim. Firstly, he collected her from the airport with a bouquet of red roses - and if that doesn’t scream new boyfriend, we don’t know what does. Soon after, the pair were spotted leaving her London gig together, and that night Chris then posted a snapchat of him cuddled up in bed with someone watching Dumb and Dumber with a heart and the caption, ‘Top five films of all time.’
Despite all this evidence, it’s still unclear whether it’s love or a damned good PR strategy. Either way, we’ve never talked about Chris Hughes or Jojo Siwa this much, so whatever they’re up to is clearly working.
