JoJo Siwa has opened up about her relationship with entrepreneur Chris Hughes. The couple forged a friendship on the sets of the British television show Celebrity Big Brother UK, season 24, which kicked off this year on April 7. While Jojo bagged the third spot, Chris finished in sixth place. The pair confirmed their relationship a couple of months later on June 2. Now Jojo, a singer and dancer by profession, has spoken about how she unexpectedly fell in love with Chris.
JoJo Siwa appeared on the June 5 episode of Gyles Brandreth’s podcast Rosebud, where she talked about her new relationship. The Boomerang singer revealed, “It is a beautiful journey. Serendipity is Christopher and I’s favourite word now. If you read the definition of it, it is essentially finding love when you’re least looking for it. I do not know how the universe aligned for Chris to come into my life.”
When the host asked JoJo Siwa to share some special qualities about Chris Hughes, the 22-year-old failed to pinpoint any one. Heaping praise on her partner, JoJo said, “Initially, the first thing that I took in about him was that he was a good hugger. I liked his hug, which felt like a nice embrace, and he smelled good. I was like, ‘Okay, cool!’”
JoJo Siwa added that she bonded with Chris Hughes “right away” starting as friends first. “I was not looking to fall for him, he was not looking to fall for me, we were having so much fun together, we were having a laugh together. Whenever one of us was down, it was the other one who helped,” said JoJo.
Further into the conversation, JoJo Siwa admitted to feeling unhappy on the sets of Celebrity Big Brother UK. After her exit, she realised that she had developed feelings for Chris Hughes that she never “intended to but couldn’t not feel.” JoJo said, “I am a very lucky girl because he was feeling the same thing.”
Before Chris Hughes, JoJo Siwa was in a relationship with Kath Ebbs. They parted ways soon after the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party.
