JoJo Siwa confirms relationship with Chris Hughes - by changing lyrics at London gig

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes relationship seems to be going from strength to strength - as JoJo made a sweet tribute to her boyfriend during her latest gig.

Last week, the pair - who met on Celebrity Big Brother - confirmed their romance after being photographed sharing a kiss on holiday in Mexico.

Now, she seems to have confirmed it again on stage, by changing the lyrics when she performed her cover of Bette Davies' Eyes to sing 'Chris Hughes' Eyes.'

It was JoJo’s second night performing at Colours Hoxton, and the night before she wore a bedazzled Sunderland football shirt in a nod to the team Hughes’ supports, after they were promoted to the Premier League on Saturday.

Chris was in the audience for Monday’s gig - but he couldn’t attend Tuesday’s show, so instead JoJo put on the orange beanie he gave her during one of the songs.

At the end of the show, the former Dance Moms star became emotional as she explained her turbulent journey growing up in the public eye.

London can I just say, as Joelle a very serious thank you I'm going to take my last two minutes to get a little deep with you all,” she said.

“I've gone through a lot of phases in my life, it's crazy what I'm about to say out loud.

“Since I was nine, I've gone through phases of my life where, at times, I have been one of the most hated people in the world.

“I'm not asking for sympathy, it's OK, but I've been hanging onto things that are out of my control.

“It was really really bad when I was 14. But, right now, personally and professionally I feel incredibly loved.

“And it just, nights like this, I don't cry that often, nights like this it just it really hit me, and I can be up here an sing my songs and commit to the bit, but I just want you to know inside my heart is smiling.

“And I feel like, I just feel so grateful because in my life right now, in rooms like this and at home I feel so loved and I feel so special.

“I wanna take a second, and remind everybody if you're doing through a hard time, I promise it gets good, just keep pushing troops.”

JoJo had been in a relationship with non-binary content creator Kath Ebbs since the start of the year.

The former child star, who came to the conclusion that she was queer and not a lesbian while on CBB, built up a strong bond with Hughes in the house.

Ebbs said they broke down when they saw a clip of Siwa “crawling into bed” with Hughes on television.
