JoJo Siwa, the vibrant 22‑year‑old singer, dancer, and media star, couldn’t help but gush over the future during a recent visit to TMZ in West Hollywood. Her relationship with 32‑year‑old reality TV personality Chris Hughes is blossoming, and she’s already thought a lot about where it might be heading, even if she won’t say for sure that a wedding’s imminent.
For Siwa, who rose to fame on Dance Moms and later redefined herself as a queer pop force, the connection with Hughes began as friendship. The duo met in April on Celebrity Big Brother UK, and chemistry quickly emerged behind the cameras. Though they initially insisted their bond was “just friendship,” it soon became clear that deeper emotions were at play.
Now, she refers to him as her “favorite person in the world,” and claims there is nothing but happiness in their relationship. On camera, her eyes light up when she talks about their future. Asked about marriage, JoJo didn’t shy away telling TMZ she has “so many thoughts,” and teasing that she’s “got her best man picked out” While she didn’t specify whether that best man would be Tyler Cameron her longtime friend and former Bachelorette star or someone else, the comment signals she’s seriously considering a long-term commitment. In 2023 she revealed she wanted Cameron in that role, and now she’s leaving room for new traditions to grow .
Siwa says their “lovely” and “beautiful” connection is grounded in gratitude. As she explained, their bond “radiates,” and she’s deeply thankful to find such a connection: “I’m very grateful and very happy,” she said. Theirs is a romance that took both of them and fans by surprise. It also highlights her evolving identity and shifting understanding of love. Once identifying as lesbian upon entering Celebrity Big Brother, she’s described her sexual orientation since as queer remarking that she’s realized she simply “likes humans.” Her relationship with Hughes, a straight man, crystallized these feelings in a tangible way.
Their bond appears deeply authentic. Siwa said she never expected “to feel anything” romantic toward Hughes, yet “I couldn’t not feel,” she told Rosebud podcast hosts. Hughes felt it too. In private interviews, fans learned that he described her as “my favorite person.” Their mutual affection seems to surprise and delight them both. He was observed greeting her with flowers and affection at Heathrow after her UK shows, and she said the glow on her face reflected genuine joy.
Media reaction has been mixed. Some embrace their story as proof that love transcends labels, praising Siwa's openness. Christine McGuinness, reality star and LGBTQ advocate, voiced support, suggesting Siwa’s journey shows how identities can shift over time and relationships. Others, particularly some former fans, are confused or critical, wondering if the shift from a queer public persona to a heterosexual relationship signals something deeper or a possible pivot in branding . JoJo herself has said she feels unfairly scrutinized by doubters who accuse her of PR orchestration, noting that love is love and personal growth is part of life.
Despite the chatter, Siwa is moving deliberately. She acknowledges life under the public eye can complicate her choices but she refuses to let that stop her from being genuine. In interviews, she’s honest about her feelings, her gratitude, and the emotions that matter more than labels or expectations . Her emotional clarity comes through as she shares joy in her grin-inducing nickname, her best man planning and her belief that love is a rainbow worth chasing.
Call it serendipity. Call it evolution. Or simply call it real. Either way, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have tapped into something meaningful. It isn’t flashy stunts or staged drama, it’s two people who met under bright lights and found something that shines even brighter. Siwa’s openness about marriage and placing someone at the center of her future marks this as more than a fling. It’s an invitation, maybe a proposal to watch where this heartfelt journey takes them next.
As she continues to grow, artistically, personally, and now romantically JoJo is tracing a path that’s both unpredictable and sincere. In her words, love is indeed a beautiful rainbow. And now it might be leading her down the aisle.
