Jojo Siwa confirms relationship development with Chris Hughes after Celebrity Big Brother 2025
“It’s not platonic any more, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection."
JoJo Siwa has confirmed that she and Chris Hughes have made their relationship official after weeks of speculation, describing herself as “head over heels” for him.
The former Dance Moms and Love Island stars met during their time on ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother back in April, with their intense chemistry soon prompting speculation from fans over the nature of their relationship.
Rumours of a romance were only fuelled once the pair left the Big Brother house thanks to a series of reunion photos on social media and song dedications, but the duo have always remained coy about the status of their relationship – until now.
Speaking recently to The Guardian, Siwa, 22, confirmed that that her relationship with Hughes, 32, is no longer “platonic”.
After the interviewer pointed out that Siwa is smiling from ear to ear, she said: “I am…because we… we… we have…”
She added: “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."
After coming out in 2021, Siwa identified as pansexual but has more recently referred to herself as either queer or gay.
However, speaking to RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard after her elimination from the Big Brother house, she spoke more definitively about identifying her sexuality as “queer”.

She reaffirmed during her interview with The Guardian that the term “queer” best "encompasses how I am, and who I am”.
She added: “There’s a lot of different sexual identities. I think there’s nothing more beautiful than somebody discovering themselves."
