Intimate Details Exposed: Insider Discloses JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes' Relationship, Unveiling the Underlying Factor Behind her Sexuality Exploration
Tit for tat: JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes' evolving bond under the Big Brother microscope is more of a "bromance" than a romance, suggests an insider. The unusual connection, taking root in the isolation of the Celebrity Big Brother house, offered JoJo the space to introspect, question her sexuality, and embrace her new identity as "queer."
The duo, leaving viewers scratching their heads, struck an unexpected friendship that transcended straight and queer boundaries. Christopher, 32, and JoJo, 21, despite being in relationships at the time, shared a flirtatious dynamic that blurred the lines for many viewers.
Joe Baggs, a staffer for the ITV reality show, has exclusively dished to MailOnline that their connection is an "intense friendship." Joe asserted, "I think it's purely friendship, and he's gravitated towards her. Like JoJo, they're very high energy."
The pair's close, and often flirtatious, behavior within the house raised eyebrows among viewers. They were seen hugging, massaging each other, exchanging secret messages, and even faced Danny Beard's warning, "F**k or stop." JoJo's revelation that she "no longer identifies as a lesbian" further fueled the speculation.
Joe, 27, believes that the absence of social media, her momager Jessalynn Siwa, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world while in the house prompted JoJo to question her sexuality. He explained, "I think the questions she has internally about her life and her gender etc, I think purely comes from the fact that she's in a house without social media and she's been managed her whole life by her mum and her family and she's alone for the first time in so long - no social media."
Viewers accused the pair of being game players, but Joe defended JoJo, sharing a throwback video of their fun-filled moments in the house and expressing his support: "Let em just have fun & vibe xxx." The responses were mixed, with some criticizing their actions as an "act from start to finish," while others appreciated their camaraderie.
As for JoJo's breakup with her non-binary partner Kath Ebbs, 27, it occurred at the CBB wrap party following JoJo's honest declaration about her identity. Kath seemed to suggest that JoJo and Chris had "fallen in love" by liking various comments from fans speculating about their relationship status. However, JoJo and Chris have vehemently denied allegations of a romantic affiliation, asserting that their bond is "platonic."
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the situation, expressing skepticism regarding a romantic connection between the two. Chris and JoJo's first post-show interview left James believing Chris was "feeling awkward" and attempting to "pull away" from an overly affectionate JoJo.
JoJo and Chris's friendship, though questioned, has sparked a new form of representation in media, showcasing a stronger bond between queer and straight individuals. Joe Baggs, recognizing the significance of this representation, noted, "There's not much representation in the media these days anyway for queer women and straight men, even gay men and their friends who are straight. It's a new form of connection that the general public might not have seen very much of..."
As JoJo navigates her newfound identity and embarks on a fresh chapter of her life, she continues to pursue her career in the entertainment industry. With a strong friendship like Chris Hughes at her side, fans can expect nothing but continued fun and boundless energy from the Dance Moms alum.
