Pop sensation JoJo Siwa has revealed she is “absolutely head over heels” after falling for Chris Hughes, widely recognised from his time on ‘Love Island’.

During the televised reality show, viewers picked up on their close bond, although both initially described each other as “platonic soulmates”. However, this week JoJo, 22, shared in a candid interview that their friendship has blossomed into a full-blown romance. Opening up to The Guardian, the singer expressed how the connection has developed into something far deeper, stating, “It’s not platonic any more, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”

The pair’s relationship has ignited plenty of conversation online. Some social media commentators have questioned whether their romance is genuine or constructed for publicity purposes—a claim Siwa firmly denies. “Clearly, you’ve never been around us,” she responded when asked about the ‘PR stunt’ rumours. “I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.”

JoJo, who shot to fame with appearances on ‘Dance Moms’ and her vibrant pop career, acknowledges the intrigue surrounding her new relationship. “People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop. I think everyone’s just curious, and I can’t blame them.” Her openness on the subject has only fuelled further interest among fans and celebrity watchers alike.

The American singer expressed that meeting Chris, 32, has brought a new level of joy to her life. “Ever since ‘Big Brother’, genuinely. Even my family is like, ‘What happened in there?’” she remarked, noting a marked difference in herself since leaving the house. Reflecting on her time in the reality series, JoJo described how it spurred unexpected emotional changes. Just before joining the show, she reportedly told her mother and manager Jessalynn, “Something feels different. I don’t think I’m gonna win, but I think I’m gonna change.”

The transformation proved substantial, though in a way she had never anticipated. “Little did I know it was going to change my personal life so much. By a landslide, it is the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” she shared, indicating that Celebrity Big Brother had an influence far beyond her public profile.

Notably, JoJo entered the ‘Big Brother’ house while in a relationship with non-binary partner Kath Ebbs. The two parted ways at the wrap party following the show’s conclusion. These personal changes also prompted JoJo to talk openly about her sexuality. Now identifying as “queer,” she emphasised the fluid nature of identity, stating, “Queer encompasses how I am, and who I am. There’s a lot of different sexual identities. I think there’s nothing more beautiful than somebody discovering themselves.”

In an era where the private lives of public figures are often a subject of scrutiny, Siwa’s candour stands out. She remains committed to celebrating her newfound happiness with Chris Hughes and embracing her evolving sense of self. The couple’s willingness to share snippets of their journey—without shying from the inevitable scrutiny—offers a refreshing perspective on romance in the spotlight.

The relationship’s future undoubtedly remains a topic of fascination for many. For now, though, JoJo Siwa seems content focusing on what she describes as the happiest period of her life, both personally and professionally. With both stars no stranger to attention, only time will tell what comes next for this vibrant duo.
