JoJo Siwa, 22, and Chris Hughes, 32, hit again at ‘showmance’ accusations and reveal the dealbreaker of their relationship

Eight months on from starting their relationship, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have reflected on their whirlwind romance. 

The former Love Island star, 32, and dancer, 22, met in the Celebrity Big Brother house back in April, and in the days after the series ended, they started dating. 

Their chemistry became a talking point on the show as JoJo was in a relationship with her now ex Kath Ebbs at the time. 

When Chris and JoJo then made their relationship public, it caused a stir on social media, with Big Brother viewers questioning if it was just a showmance to boost their profiles. 

But the pair have vehemently denied the accusations and insist their love is real in a new interview. 

‘I think anyone who meets someone on television, I don’t think it matters who it would be, there would be some people who would doubt it. I don’t think you can read into that too much,’ JoJo told The Sun.

Chris added: ‘We’re just bobbing and weaving and ducking and diving, kicking along.’

The television personality isn’t afraid of fast-paced relationships. He rose to fame on ITV2 dating show Love Island back in 2017, where he had a rollercoaster romance with Olivia Attwood, 34. 

His romance with JoJo has moved just as fast, with the couple dividing time between their homes in the US and the UK.

Talking about the foundations of their love story, Chris insisted while they didn’t spend a long time dating, he really got to know the ‘ins and outs’ of JoJo in the three weeks they spent in the Big Brother house. 

He said: ‘We spent three weeks with each other. I know we weren’t together then but it’s been a long time.’ 

Elsewhere in the interview, JoJo revealed a dealbreaker for them in making their relationship work is only accepting job offers which don’t put their romance in jeopardy. 

She added: ‘Something important to both of us, is that nothing comes between us, is that nothing makes anything stressful or feels that we have to do something.’ 

Their gushing interview comes after JoJo’s ex Kath Ebbs announced she is engaged to new love Tilly Lucas-Rodd.

The couple, who both use They/Them pronouns, appeared on an Instagram live on Monday evening, during which they showed off their engagement rings.  

Kath was left heartbroken in August when the Dance Moms star appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, during which she formed a flirtatious bond with her now-boyfriend Chris Hughes despite being in a relationship with Kath.

At the CBB after-party, it was revealed that JoJo dumped Kath – leaving the latter ‘disorientated, numb and in shock’ – before the star started her romance with Chris.

They have now found love with Tilly, with the pair announcing their engagement after going public with their romance in July.

In a nod to a long-time crush, Kath revealed she ‘slid into’ Tilly’s DMs two years previously – but was ignored.
