JoJo Siwa, 22, breaks silence on relationship status with Chris Hughes 32, after pair spotted kissing
JoJo Siwa has broken her silence on her relationship status with Chris Hughes after the pair was seen smooching on holiday.
Siwa confirmed she is not exclusively dating Chris Hughes, putting to rest rumours about their relationship on Monday.
The 21-year-old Dance Moms star and the 32-year-old Love Island veteran sparked speculation after growing close on Big Brother earlier this year.
Romance rumours intensified when Siwa split from her partner, Kath Ebbs, 27, following the show.
Speaking today to Andi Peters on Lorraine, Siwa addressed the fan chatter, especially after she and Hughes were seen kissing during a romantic getaway.
When Peters suggested Hughes was her boyfriend, Siwa laughed awkwardly and replied: “No.”
Pressed on whether they’d had a Love Island-style “where’s your head at” conversation, Siwa responded: “Christopher and I have had a lot of chats.”
She added: “We have never gone into the kitchen and said, ‘My head’s not turning any way,’” implying they hadn’t made their relationship exclusive.
Peters, taken aback, teased that the Love Island star was “letting us down,” prompting Siwa to leap to Hughes’ defence.

“Chris couldn’t let me down even if he tried,” she said warmly. “Chris is the best man.”
The Celebrity Big Brother co-stars, who have been the subject of relationship speculation for weeks, were recently spotted getting intimate in a swimming pool.
The American dancer, 22, and the former Love Island star, 32, were seen “snogging in full view of other holidaymakers” in pictures obtained by The Sun.
The pair developed a notably close bond during their time in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year, before Siwa ended her relationship with partner Kath Ebbs.
Despite previously insisting their relationship was strictly platonic, the new photos show the couple is “well and truly together” as they enjoyed their holiday abroad.
A source told The Sun: “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.
“They were very hands-on, not entirely different from 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.”
