Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa share a melancholic selfie, indicating another split following a brief reconciliation in their romantic relationship.
Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa, who first met as contestants on the U.K.'s Celebrity Big Brother in April 2025, have taken their relationship to new heights. Initially, they maintained a close friendship, but by August 2025, they confirmed that their bond had transformed into a romantic one[1].
Despite being in a long-distance relationship, with Hughes based in the UK and Siwa in the United States, they have managed to strengthen their connection through open communication and shared values[2]. They have even discussed future plans such as marriage and starting a family, expressing a mutual desire to build a wholesome family life rooted in love.
Their relationship has faced challenges, particularly during and immediately after their time on Celebrity Big Brother, where they had to navigate public speculation and initial denials about the nature of their relationship[1][2]. However, through transparency and dedication, they have moved beyond these challenges and deepened their romantic connection.
Recently, the couple was spotted on a romantic cruise onboard the Star of the Seas, where they have taken their love to the next level and "blended" their families[3]. In a heartwarming selfie, Hughes can be seen with his arm around Siwa, both wearing casual attire and sporting smiles. Hughes referred to Siwa as his "princess" and stated that she is a "good one."
Prior to her relationship with Hughes, Siwa was in a relationship with Dakayla Wilson, which ended in November 2024. She then went public with her relationship with Kath Ebbs in January 2025, but the romance ended abruptly at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party on April 25, 2025[4]. Siwa has since spoken about her relationship with Ebbs at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, stating it has taught her about life, love, and respect[5].
Hughes has faced backlash after going official with his relationship with Siwa, but he remains unfazed as long as people aren't nasty[6]. The couple continues to express optimism about their shared future, though they have no current plans for musical collaborations despite their close personal bond[2].
