JoJo Siwa Confirms Chris Hughes Romance
Siwa delighted fans at her second London show on Tuesday but sent them raving as she seemingly confirmed her romance with Hughes.
The pair had sparked dating rumors after warming up to each other on “Celebrity Big Brother,” but Siwa had been coy about the status of their relationship in previous interviews.
During her performance of Bette Davies’s “Eyes” at Colours Hoxton, the singer changed the end of the song’s lyrics to sing “Chris Hughes Eyes.” According to the Daily Mail, she admitted that she did it that way because it made her “happy.”
“I’ll tell you this much if it’s not obvious, that ending lyric is very much true,” she told the audience, sparking a huge cheer from them.

The “Dance Moms” star took it a notch higher when she explained that she came along with the orange beanie he’d given her at the house after she caught him singing one of her songs. Hughes made it for her first London show but admitted he couldn’t make it for her Tuesday performance.
“This morning I woke up and all I heard was [sings Nobody Can Change me] he was singing, so I figured today I’d bring a little bit of him while I sing this next song,” she told the audience.

The New Couple Was Spotted Kissing At A Pool
Before Siwa’s remarks about Hughes, the duo was spotted kissing at a Mexican resort during her 22nd birthday celebration with her family.
A source told The Sun at the time that they “looked very loved-up as they snogged in full view of other holidaymakers.”
“They spent their time at the hotel holding hands and looked like a giddy couple in the early throes of love. It was nice to see,” the insider said.
“They were very hands-on – not entirely different to how they were on TV, just a bit more intimate. JoJo seemed totally relaxed, really in love, and not in any way the JoJo we see when she’s on stage. They’re just totally comfortable around each other,” they added.
JoJo Siwa Says She Is ‘Not A Lesbian’
Siwa notably declared that she no longer identifies as a lesbian and has since dumped her former partner, Kath Ebbs.

“And I think that’s really cool, I’m switching letters! I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q, baby! That’s what I love about sexuality,” she added.
