Pop star JoJo Siwa and former “Love Island” contestant Chris Hughes have ignited speculation about a budding romance following a series of affectionate public appearances. The duo, who first connected during their stint on “Celebrity Big Brother UK” earlier this year, have been increasingly visible together, sharing moments that suggest their relationship may have evolved beyond friendship.
Siwa, 22, and Hughes, 32, were recently spotted enjoying a night out with friends and family in London. The pair appeared close, with Hughes wrapping his arm around Siwa as they posed for photos. This outing follows a pattern of public displays of affection, including shared social media posts and intimate gestures that have fueled rumors of a romantic connection.
Their bond was notably highlighted during Siwa’s recent performances in London. During one show, she altered the lyrics of Kim Carnes’ classic “Bette Davis Eyes” to “Chris Hughes’ eyes,” directing the tribute to Hughes, who was present in the audience. In a subsequent performance, when Hughes was absent, Siwa sang to his orange beanie placed in the crowd, further emphasizing their closeness.
The pair’s relationship has also been showcased through various social media posts. Siwa shared a video of her pre-show routine, which included moments of the two hugging, holding hands, and exchanging bracelets. Hughes, in turn, has posted photos of them together, including a cozy bed snap after supporting her at a UK gig.
Their connection extends beyond the UK. Hughes made a 12-hour journey to Mexico City to attend Siwa’s performance, where they were later photographed sharing a kiss at an adults-only hotel. Upon Siwa’s return to London, Hughes greeted her at Heathrow Airport with a bouquet of pink flowers, and the two were seen embracing and holding hands, further fueling romance rumors.
Despite the public displays and growing speculation, both Siwa and Hughes have maintained a degree of ambiguity regarding the nature of their relationship. Siwa has described Hughes as one of her “favorite people,” while Hughes has referred to their bond as a “soulmate friendship.” However, their actions suggest a deepening connection that goes beyond platonic friendship.
Siwa’s evolving relationship with Hughes comes after her breakup with Australian TikTok star Kath Ebbs earlier this year. Since then, Siwa has been open about her personal growth and happiness, often sharing moments of joy and contentment on social media.
As fans and media continue to speculate about the true nature of their relationship, Siwa and Hughes remain in the spotlight, their every interaction scrutinized for clues. Whether their bond is a close friendship or a blossoming romance, the duo’s chemistry and mutual affection are undeniable, capturing the attention of audiences worldwide.
