Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes fuelled further speculation that they might be dating after sharing a number of cosy pictures over the past few days from the musician’s recent birthday.
The 22-year-old dancer and singer appeared in high spirits as she unveiled a collection of sweet images, including ones where she cuddles the English TV personality.
“This years birthday week was more magical than anything,” she wrote on Instagram. “Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries. Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t change a single thing a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
A day later, 32-year-old Hughes also added to the rumours by sharing another collection of images taken from Siwa’s birthday, including snaps that appeared to show the duo seemingly loved up.
Although the pair is yet to officially confirm their potential romance, Siwa also seemingly teased her feelings toward Hughes when she recently performed on stage.
During a recent rendition of 'Bette Davis Eyes', she reportedly changed the lyrics to ‘Chris Hughes' eyes,’ according to Heart.
Here’s everything you need to know about Siwa and Hughes.
How did they meet?
Siwa and Hughes first met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, when the pair seemed to hit it off from the get go and formed a close bond.
Both found fame in the reality TV world in their own right, but in the Big Brother house it seems like they bonded over more than just their work.
Although Siwa was in a relationship at the time, viewers speculated that there may have been a spark between the duo after footage emerged of them cuddling.
They even downplayed rumours they were anything more than friends, with Hughes saying on This Morning: “It’s just a really strong bond between two people, which is just a strong friendship.”
“And I think you can have like a soulmate friendship. And to me it’s like that energy of where it’s not like the standard friendship that you have with your friends. But you know it’s still a friendship, and it’s just nice.”
Is Jojo Siwa still with her partner?
Siwa had been dating Kath Ebbs for around four months before entering CBB, but things didn’t last. Shortly after leaving CBB, Siwa’s ex confirmed they had parted ways.
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Ebbs revealed that her ex had “confused feelings” for someone else.
“After two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involves... I was dumped at the after-party," Kath said in a social media video.
"I was told that there are confused feelings there — do with that what you will — and that they had realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with."
What are they doing now?
In the last few weeks, things have seemingly heated up between the pair.
After spending some time together in the UK, Hughes jetted to the United States to celebrate Siwa’s recent birthday.
Their friends and fans have welcomed the pair’s barrage of smitten social media images. “Erm. Obsessed with you both,” wrote Megan McKenna, while Vicky Pattinson wrote: “you look so happy.”
Neither Siwa nor Hughes officially confirmed the romance or addressed rumours that they might be a couple.
What is Chris Hughes' relationship history?
Chris Hughes found fame during his stint on Love Island, and has dated a number of people in the public eye since.
Hughes left the Love Island villa with Olivia Attwood, only for the pair to part ways shortly after the show.
He was then connected to Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson until 2020, and was also linked to golfer Annabel Dimmock following their split.
Since then, Hughes has kept his dating life pretty low profile until he started getting closer to Siwa.
