Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa are officially a couple after weeks of speculation about their connection following Celebrity Big Brother UK. The two met during season 24 of the reality show, where their chemistry quickly became apparent, despite JoJo still being in a relationship at the time with now-former partner Kath Ebbs. In an April 2025 Instagram video, Kath claimed JoJo broke up with them at an after-party following the season finale.
In their first joint interview after the finale, Chris described their relationship as a “soulmate friendship,” with JoJo echoing that sentiment and calling it “platonic.” As romance rumors continued to swirl, the “Karma” singer insisted they were just friends.
Now, JoJo has confirmed their relationship is “not platonic anymore.” Speaking to The Guardian, she said, “It’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him—and he’s the same way.”
