Unexpected Romance: Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa's Whirlwind Love Story












2025-07-01T23:39:16Z

Chris Hughes, the charming son of farmers in Gloucestershire, has always longed for love without having to migrate to a bustling city. In 2017, this yearning drove him to apply for the popular ITV2 dating series, Love Island. During his time on the show, he formed a connection with Olivia Attwood, a striking blonde model. Their chemistry not only led them to the finals of the competition but also earned them a spin-off TV show, highlighting their journey as a couple. Unfortunately, after 18 months, their relationship came to an end.
Fast forward seven years, Chris found himself back in the spotlight with another reality show, Celebrity Big Brother. This time, fate introduced him to JoJo Siwa, a well-known American singer, dancer, and social media sensation from the Midwest. JoJo first gained fame as a child star on the reality series Dance Moms, where she showcased her impressive dance skills and larger-than-life personality.
Despite being one of the most surprising pairings in the entertainment industry, Chris and JoJo hit it off almost immediately. Friends close to Chris have reported that he is head over heels for JoJo, and they expect him to propose soon. One insider mentioned, 'Chris is smitten. He can't believe his luck. It’s been a whirlwind romance—a fairytale, really.'
JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, initially grew close while navigating the challenges of life in the Celebrity Big Brother house, though a budding romance seemed improbable at first, particularly as JoJo was in a relationship with non-binary actress Kath Ebbs at the time. However, the relationship ended at the show’s wrap party, paving the way for Chris and JoJo’s relationship to flourish.
In a candid interview with The Mail on Sunday’s You magazine, JoJo revealed her struggles with labeling her own sexuality, stating she felt pressured by former partners and societal norms. 'The truth is,' she shared, 'sexuality is fluid.' Regardless of how they identify, it is clear that JoJo and Chris have quickly become one of the most talked-about couples on both sides of the Atlantic.
According to sources, ITV is interested in giving the pair their own reality show, reminiscent of Chris’s earlier project with Olivia titled Chris And Olivia: Crackin’ On. Friends in the industry believe that Chris’s British charm would translate well to an American audience, making them a television sensation.
Moreover, their relationship could open the door to lucrative endorsement deals, combining JoJo’s established brand with Chris’s rising profile. 'When two people get together like this, they can make an absolute fortune,' noted a branding expert. JoJo has already amassed a significant following in the UK, and with Chris's fame, they are poised for commercial success.
Born Joelle Joanie Siwa on May 19, 2003, JoJo was raised in Omaha, Nebraska by her mother Jessalynn, who was a dance instructor, and her father, Tom, a chiropractor. JoJo’s journey in the entertainment world began at the young age of nine when she participated in Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. Her talent quickly earned her a spot on the hit show Dance Moms, where she gained notoriety for her vibrant personality and signature hair bows.
By 2017, JoJo had signed with Nickelodeon, solidifying her status as a household name. Her entrepreneurial spirit led to a range of products, from dolls and accessories to her iconic bows, which became so popular that many British schools banned them. Today, JoJo's estimated net worth is around £15 million, and she recently sold her Los Angeles mansion for just under £4 million.
In contrast, Chris's financial standing is less impressive, with an estimated worth of one to two million pounds. Although he briefly pursued a music career with co-star Kem Cetinay, his earnings pale in comparison to JoJo's extensive portfolio. This disparity has led to some criticism online, with trolls suggesting that Chris may be capitalizing on JoJo’s fame. Nevertheless, those within the entertainment industry consistently defend Chris, citing his kindness and genuine nature.
As the couple navigates their budding romance, they are faced with the challenges of a long-distance relationship, given the 5,000 miles that separate them. Sources close to the couple reveal that they manage as best as they can but often feel a deep sense of longing when apart. The question of whether Chris would relocate to the States or JoJo would settle in the UK looms over them. Currently, it appears that JoJo has developed a fondness for British countryside living, which may influence her decision.
In conclusion, if JoJo decides to make the move, this enchanting romance may just become a lasting love story, captivating both their fans and the media alike.
