JoJo Siwa recently confirmed that she's in a relationship with her Celebrity Big Brother UK co-star, Chris Hughes.
According to People, Siwa, 22, was dating Australian actor Kath Ebbs when the series began in April. The former pair called it quits after the show ended, and speculation immediately began to swirl about the Dance Moms alum's connection to Hughes, 32, given their unbreakable bond in the series.
Siwa and the former Love Island UK contestant have shared a handful of affection snaps to social media since the conclusion of CBBUK, and Hughes has attended a few of the star's performances, one in particular where she changed the lyrics of Kim Carnes' "Betty Davis Eyes" to "Chris Hughes eyes."
On Monday (June 2), Siwa confirmed that she and Hughes were dating and that they have a "beautiful connection" during an interview with The Guardian.
"It’s not platonic anymore, 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."
Fans initially assumed that their spark was a publicity stunt, but Siwa assured it was genuine from the very beginning.
"No, this is a very genuine connection – we’re not faking a thing. 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."
