Confirmation that JoJo Siwa, the video star/dancer/singer and former reality show star, is dating Chris Hughes. He is currently competing on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.” In a recent interview with The Guardian, Siwa described their relationship as “beautiful.” This statement is a breakthrough in their relationship, particularly because such social media posts had already fueled speculation.
Siwa and Hughes became friends earlier this year while competing on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.” Their friendship eventually developed into love. Few things are more inspiring than scrolling through social media and seeing posts from them happily spending time together. Siwa expressed her feelings candidly during her interview, stating, “I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.” This declaration of their love counteracts any ideas that their relationship was entirely platonic.
Along with sharing her news about their relationship, Siwa gave an emotional interview about her realization that she is queer. She initially identified as a lesbian but found clarity during her time on the reality show, stating, “I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer.’” This shocking upload reinforces her growing self-awareness of what it means to be Black.
These emotional highs and lows of her journey on the show came with their own set of challenges. Siwa shared that the experience that intimidated her the most was meeting actor Mickey Rourke, saying it “really made me super upset,” and was “really hard to swallow.” Even in these moments, she walked away from the experience feeling happy and productive.
Siwa shared insights into her newfound happiness, saying, “I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now.” Her continued positivity was evident when she described the physical effects of her joy: “Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks. I’ve never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.”
The pair most recently celebrated Siwa’s birthday together, posting adorable pictures that added even more firepower to rumors of their love. The public has fully embraced their relationship, given the blossoming of Siwa’s big, colorful world along with Hughes’s huge smile.
