JoJo Siwa has publicly acknowledged her relationship with Chris Hughes following a bold selfie that Hughes shared of the two of them in bed.
"It’s more than just friends now, and it has been a lovely evolution, a wonderful connection, and I'm truly smitten with him, and he feels the same way," Siwa, who is 22, expressed in an interview with The Guardian that was published on Monday, June 2.
When it comes to allegations that her recent relationship with Hughes, who is 32, is merely a publicity stunt, Siwa responded, "It's clear that you haven't seen us together. I won’t speak for him, but for me, the joy in my life is absolutely shining through right now."
"Just yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never experienced pain from smiling so much before," the Dance Moms star shared.
Siwa and Hughes first crossed paths on the U.K. reality series Celebrity Big Brother in April. During their stay in the Big Brother residence, the pair formed a significant bond.
Speculation about their romantic interest in each other heightened after the "Karma" artist ended her relationship with her previous partner, Kath Ebbs, on the night of the Celebrity Big Brother finale.
Initially, Siwa maintained that her friendship with Hughes — who had previously dated Jesy Nelson from Little Mix — was strictly "platonic."
Nevertheless, following growing rumors of a romantic link, on June 1, Hughes posted a snap on Snapchat showing him and Siwa in bed together. Siwa was captured with a gentle smile, her eyes shut as she rested her head on Hughes, her hand placed on his chest. Hughes, shirtless, had his arm around her head, kissing her forehead affectionately.
Siwa exclusively informed Us Weekly in a May cover story that her connection with Hughes had “absolutely nothing to do with my breakup” with Ebbs.
“We still have conversations all the time, of course,” Siwa told Us regarding her relationship status with Hughes at that moment. “Now that we are out of the house, we just coexist, and it is what it is. We're happy and we have each other. It's a wonderful friendship we share.”
As Siwa celebrated her birthday later that month, Hughes appeared in her Instagram carousel, which showcased several images of them together, including one where he held her leg affectionately.
"This year's birthday week was more enchanting than anything 🤍🪄," Siwa wrote in her post. “Filled with surprises, family moments, performances, relaxation, laughter, love, smiles, and meaningful tears. Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t alter a thing 🤍— a week I’ll cherish for all time.”
Following the festivities, The Sun acquired images of Siwa and Hughes sharing a kiss while vacationing in Mexico. (Us Weekly reached out to representatives for both Siwa and Hughes for comments at that time.)
