TV star Chris Hughes and singer-dancer JoJo Siwa are once again the center of romance rumors after Hughes posted a close-up bed selfie with Siwa. This comes just weeks after both said they’re not dating.
Cozy Snap Gets Fans Talking
On Sunday, June 1, Hughes, 32, shared a photo on Snapchat showing him kissing 22-year-old Siwa on the forehead as she rested on his bare chest. He captioned it, “Sleeepinnn beauty.” Fans quickly reacted, calling them “adorable” and questioning whether they’re more than just friends.
JoJo Says “We’re Not Dating”—But It’s Complicated
Not long ago, Siwa laughed off dating rumors during an interview on Lorraine, saying, “No,” when asked directly. But she also mentioned that she and Hughes have had “a lot of chats,” hinting that there’s a deeper bond between them—even if they don’t call it dating.
A Strong Connection On and Off Screen
Siwa and Hughes met on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year, where their friendship quickly grew. Since the show, they’ve spent a lot of time together—from vacations in Mexico to game nights with JoJo’s family. Siwa even shared on Sunday Brunch that Hughes and her dad are now “literally best friends.”
“Chris was telling me yesterday that they went to the spa together,” Siwa said happily. “My mum thinks the world of him. Watching her watch us makes me so happy.”
Part of the Family
Hughes has posted Instagram Stories showing how close he’s become with the Siwas—playing video games with JoJo’s dad and getting a kiss on the head from JoJo during a family night. Their connection clearly goes beyond the usual friendship.
A ‘Soulmate Friendship’
Though they both deny being romantically involved, the spark between them hasn’t gone unnoticed. In April, on This Morning, Siwa said their bond is “platonic” but not a “normal friendship.” Hughes agreed, calling it a “soulmate friendship” and saying the connection they made on the show was special.
Siwa, who came out in 2021 and now prefers the term “queer,” has been open about her personal life. Her last public relationship was with Kath Ebbs, who said on TikTok that JoJo broke up with her at the Celebrity Big Brother afterparty in April.
What’s Really Going On?
Even though both Siwa and Hughes say they’re not a couple, fans aren’t convinced. The photos, family closeness, and heartfelt quotes suggest there’s more going on than meets the eye.
Whether they’re dating, best friends, or something in between, one thing is for sure—JoJo and Chris have a special bond that has everyone talking.
